SP901 / LE901-16S .308 Rifle: Picture Thread, New T&E 901 M.A.R.C. Modular rail page 78 (Page 51 of 51)

It may be that I aquire another Colt .308 AR (M7, CM762-16A) since the latest scuttlebutt about another production run likely in a few months. The anticipation got me to thinking about the gas system. We don't know any specifics on anything yet, but have read the new release will not have an adjustable gas block. Also, reading the M7 description list, it features a 6-position receiver extension. This makes me wonder about the gas length & recoil buffer system too. Who has tuned their LE901 CM762 gas? What is availble as far as reduced diameter gas tubes. Currently I'm using an SiCo Hybrid .46 with a 7.62 end cap & this is picky with ammo. Anyway, too early but wanted to get out front and set-up one for dedicated suppression. If possible, I'd prefer not removing the barrel. Your knowledge/ experience is appreciated, thanks. Eta: the current CM762-16S likely has a Armalite AR10 Carbine length gas tube. |

@TBone556 I do not know where to buy bolt or carrier parts or know if there is any compatibility with your gun. I did find a spare Colt CM762/ LE 901 BCG at an GB auction. Eta: Colt is not Aero, big difference. A Colt is proprietary as compared to an Aero. As far as I know there are no standard design specs for an AR10 platform. |

Although your cause is noble and appreciated, we will never see the 901 return. It has been replaced by the M7/CM7 which is really a better design. In regards to the 2011, I have nothing to add at this time. |

Didn't know they came out with an adjustable one. I'm sure that is unobtanium. M7/CM7 does not have an adjustable gas block. That is incorrect advertising unfortunately. |
