The Colt M5 is no longer listed anywhere on Colt’s website. Any word if they’ve been discontinued or what?

Still in MLE pages.

But only in the catalog, that is from 2024.

I don’t know if it has been discontinued or not but, I have found Colt’s website not best on what models are actually available.  I also see 2025 on the “catalog” in the LE section on the site with the M5s.

Listed in the 2025 commercial catalog.


@Minuteman1636 could likely answer definitively.

Interesting, waiting to get mine back from Colt.

The M5 series is very much alive and thriving. Colt's website is going through a rebuild so a lot of information is missing

More than likely it's not discontinued, but rather they are not manufacturing them at the moment. Probably so they can focus on manufacturing other models or to fill contracts on other things. Give it 2 or 3 years and they will have them all over their website.

I need an M5 11.5" upper. That is all, where can I get one?

Haven’t seen those in months.  Only seeing the 10.3” out there.

Has the 14.5 in upper or complete rifle ever been released into the wild?

The 14.5” complete carbine is listed as available on various LGS over here in EU.
I haven’t seen one in person though.
