Who cares as long as it works. This rifle is intriguing to me. I wonder how it stacks up against the OBR.

Colt if you're reading this,  $1200 to $1500 will be just fine (and will guarantee that I'll buy one).

If they are indeed $1200 to $1500 i WILL be buying one! Why are the barrels so short though? I want a 20-21" barrel

probably because  everyone  wants a "battle rifle"   30 cal AR15 these days, thats  more liek a carbine. like the KAC  EMC.  not so much a  target/sniper version.   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

Don't feel bad, I didn't even know they made 308 P-mags, let alone that they fit the LR-308 (and the Colt)!

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 ordered some  .308 P-Mags!  
1/21/2011 10:13:27 AM EDT
[#41]
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.

The version in the catalog that shows the longer rail is older- not going to be produced that way.

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'd definitely enjoy having this. They I can just buy uppers instead of whole rifles, which leave leave more room in the safe for other shit.
