Called Colt on Thursday afternoon to ask some questions regarding this platform and when they will be producing more. The short answer is not anytime in the foreseeable future and perhaps maybe not ever again due to their focus on government contracts commitments rather than the civilian market. I asked about the 6.5 version and was told Colt will not be producing anymore of that version. So I guess it’s safe to say I’m shit out of luck.

On another note, how much play (up and down) do you guys have on the righthand side bolt release. Mine seems kinda loose.

I wish they would bring this platform back with a fluted barrel or something to cut some weight. The MLOK CM762 is heavier than the mark 901. Does anyone know the gas block size for 901’s? I’ve thought of maybe trying an adjustable gas block running it in heavy division.

Gas block journal is 0.750. Also, you'll need an Armalite AR10 carbine length gas tube to replace the straight tube of the 901.

Anyone needs another 901 5.56 adapter, Arms Unlimited got 20 of them in stock yesterday (currently 16 left). $295 shipped, only like $50 more than they were direct from Colt a few years ago, vs. the $500-600 being asked on Gunbroker.

I was trying to find that a while back but couldn’t. I don’t remember what can he was using. My 901 will be wearing an OSS helix in a few months time so hopefully I won’t have problems.

AU reported no problems using a Surefire SOCOM 762-RC2 on the mid-length and the factory SBR. I’ve got the same suppressor and have had no issues thus far either.

IIRC the can had nothing to do with the receiver breaking. Whatever he used to secure the upper to do muzzle device work was the culprit.

It measures different than a DPMS pattern bolt. Measured the lug length and then the depth of the bolt face from the front of the lugs.
Seems like I read the specs from an Armalite bolt and it was incompatible with that as well, but I'm not sure IIRC. |

You might want to use a spacer if going the JP captured route. The 901 buffer is just a few thousandths longer than a DPMS pattern buffer and weighs what is considered a "heavy" by DPMS standards. The length difference was just enough to cause carrier impact to the lower when I tried a DPMS buffer and spring. |
