COLT M4 with FSB OEM
COLT M4 w/shaved FSB
Okay, this is a good move from COLT, finally. Now they just need to get rid of some of their offerings and just simplify their product line a little more, as they have a lot of offerings that don't really make sense. COLT needs to catch up to what's being done in the market and branch out into other barrel profiles other than the M4 PROFILE and GOV PROFILE that they are stuck on. Why is it so hard for COLT to realize that they would have huge hits if they released some OEM models like the following:
14.5" LWT OEM with pinned FS.
14.5" OEM with a NOVESKE N4 profile w/pinned FS.
(I know people will call me on this, but I'm still partial to the carbine gas system on the 14.5" barrels. The above carbine should be made available with either a standard FSB or with a SHAVED FSB. Bam! Profit!)
16" 6720 LWT OEM with a MIDDY gas system.
16" MIDDY with a NOVESKE N4 light profile barrel.
(Once again, they could offer the standard FSB or a shaved FSB. Bam! Profit!)
They can keep their ICONIC rifles (M4 and M16A4)in their standard configurations for those that want that specific look. There's just something about a standard M4 and a standard M16A4 that make them cool to have. I would want one of each, but there is only so much money to go around.
In addition, it would be awesome if they could offer some COLT CANADA models. Boom! More profit!
