Here’s hoping it has the M5 carbine markings on it.
I also hope they do a P/W 14.5” version. |

It’s about damn time . Looks like a mid length barrel from what I can see of gas block location, do you know if it is?

Previously, only the M7 had a 13 or 13.5 rail, because the longest barrel on the M5 was a 14.5. So, this is a new rail. I wonder who’s manufacturing them?

I like the CM5 Ambi-Lower, probably going to need one of these.
Please keep us updated on where to purchase when these make it to market. The outlook is growing dismal for another CM7 production/release. The M-Lok rail on the CM762-16S is thick, heavy duty. Will the CM5 M-Lok rail will be as thick. What guns has Colt sold with an legit M-Lok rail? All Centurion Arms rails, 6960 CCU, 6920EPR, 6920-R Trooper and what else? Could the CM5 rail be their in house production? Anyhoo, kind of excited about something relatively new coming out from Colt in a carbine. |

Looking around curious about the M-Lok rail on the M5.
I've read recently on a dealer website their description on the the M5 Sentry will have a "...new Geissele designed free floating rail". Cool, must be a great rail then. |

I can’t find it anymore, but years ago when one of Colt’s guys (not the YouTube dipshit) used to post online he said how they did some pretty extensive testing of the mid-length and the carbine setup and saw zero quantifiable difference between the two related to parts breakage and stoppages. This was years before the 6960 came out. |

The m4 profile as seen on the trooper was quite useless |

Based on that, I would take a guess and say the “H” in the model number CM556-14H-M5A stands for heavy. Edit. Here’s what I saw, it’s not the exact same model number but I still bet that’s what the “H” is for in the above 14.5” rifle.

Here is the M203 design that is promoted in the catalog as a 'new' product. They are promoting a rail mounted M203 design and not the legacy barrel nut/barrel mount interface.  Attached FileThe legacy M203 design is still available for the cheaper rifles (M4A1 carbine, etc) but the rail mounted design is what is promoted for the M5, M7, etc. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Minuteman1636: That would be interesting since they aren't using one piece upper receivers. We will know soon. The way the barrel interfaces with the receiver is like their monolithic guns. The upper has an extension that is internally threaded that the barrel slips into followed by the barrel nut. The handguard actually mounts to the upper around the outside of the extension rather than a threaded on barrel nut. Even though they are two piece uppers they have more in common with their monolithic uppers in design than a traditional upper.

I highly doubt you are going to see a socom profile on the 16” rifle unless it’s going to be P/W to get to that length.
There would be no reason to see any sort of socom profile in a true 16” barrel as Colt doesn’t have anything currently like that and it would be a pointless profile to make for this rifle since you can’t mount a 203 in the traditional way. It would be nice if they did do a new barrel profile for the 16” rifle other than using the govt. m4 barrel from the OEM1. |

My only question:
Should I buy 2? One to shoot & one for collecting  I haven't been this excited since the correctly roll marked 'stamped' US Property M4A1 Carbine SOCOM. The internationally renowned modern Colt ambidextrous CM5 will likely be all engraved and I'm okay with that. I was excited about a CM7 but now the CM5 Sentry. |
