Picked up my first Colt a couple weeks ago. I have been into AR-15s since 1998, Started with a Bushmaster. I have Windham Weaponrys, Smith and Wessons and PSAs in my collection, but never had a Colt. So I added a Colt AR5951 to the collection. I always wanted a 9mm carbine, plus it being a Colt it adds some diversity to the collection. It came with a Mag-pul flip up rear sight. But thought it looked better with the carry handle.

Carry handles are the natural order of the Universe.
A/M-4s and A-2s are better than nothing but A-1s rock. Now if he AR 308 class manufacturers would just....... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Den40: Congratulations! It is actually a real nice shooter. I want to SBR mine eventually. Yeah I was really surprised how nice it shot. A little different recoil than a 5.56. The mags are a little tougher to load than the 5.55. |

It only came with one magazine. So I had to get more. Palmetto State Armory had some of the Harrington and Richardson 32 round magazine. So I ordered a few and they had a nice finish and worked flawlessly.

Gun will be fun ! Interesting mag purchase… I’ve had a 6450 for 20 yrs and have never heard of a H & R 9mm carbine mag. Or even read in this forum. Metalform has made 9mm SMG mags for Colt since day one. Hope those mags treat you right! Keep us informed

H&R started making a retro line of rifles/carbines. Recently they started making parts for their 9mm carbine including magazines. |

Nice. I have a 6450 9mm. Like the A1 carry handle on mine. Fun little blaster.

Nice. I handled one at a local gunshop maybe 10 years ago, saved my pennies for for several months then went back to purchase it and it was gone. Dealer said they only make them in batches, took my contact information and said he would contact me when he got another one in.
Still don't have one.

They seem to show up every once in awhile. Just happened to show up in their emails. |
