I was never interested in .308, but I might be now. If they become available to the public I will wait about 2 years for the prices to settle down a bit

I think the 16 inch with carbine stock is the right combo. i would think if its a huge hit. a 20 inch will follow |

hi-res picture
http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/files/2011/01/Colt-SP901-R.jpg The rail and gas system appear to be longer in this version. This version is shown in the colt catalog. I counted 45 top rail slots. The other pictures of this rifle that are floating around have only 39 rail slots. I like the long rail version. Two things: Slings sockets should limit rotation of a QD swivel unlike the 6940's sockets. (This goes for any company making QD swivel mounts) They list the barrel as 16.1” Heavy, I hope it isn't Colt's HBAR profile. The catalog gives the following specs: .308 Win (7.62x51 NATO) 16.1” Heavy Chromed, 4 Grooves, 1-12” RH Twist Flip-Up, Adjustable Post for Elevation Flip-Up, Adjustable for both Windage and Elevation 37.5” 34.24” 9.4 lbs Semi-Auto, Direct Gas System, Locking Bolt Matte Black |

I just had some 5.56 Pmags delivered yesterday.. would be excited to go ahead and order some .308 mags.. but I want to see what the street pricing and availability of the this 901 rifle would be.
Theres a huge chance it wont be on the street until after July and it might command a $3000+ asking price well into the end of the year. I dont think we will see available under $1500 until this time next year or even later. |

I believe the Colt uses the same kind of mags as DPMS rifles do. It's whatever the Knight's Armament and OBR use, since Colt is showing them with PMAGs. |

| As mentioned earlier, I am sure street pirce will be very high initially. I will certainly purchase one for 1500 maybe even $2000. But no more than that. I just can't swing it or rationalize it at this moment. It would be a large investment because I currently do not run anything in 308. 30-06 is my current hard-hitter. |

I still haven't see the 5.56 adapter block!
Good demos though.
I really wish I was at SHOT instead of staying home and working...  I'll be there next year for sure. Buy you guys some beers!
