SP901 / LE901-16S .308 Rifle: Picture Thread, New T&E 901 M.A.R.C. Modular rail page 78 (Page 48 of 51)
| Called Colt on Thursday afternoon to ask some questions regarding this platform and when they will be producing more. The short answer is not anytime in the foreseeable future and perhaps maybe not ever again due to their focus on government contracts commitments rather than the civilian market. I asked about the 6.5 version and was told Colt will not be producing anymore of that version. So I guess it’s safe to say I’m shit out of luck. |

I guess you haven't learned yet that getting info from the people who answer the phones at colt is about as reliable as CNN when it comes to colt's future production schedule and plans some members of this website know people at colt a lot higher up than the CS that answers the phones. |

Both are typically hot garbage when it comes to accuracy of information IMO and I place no weight on either. |

| I wish they would bring this platform back with a fluted barrel or something to cut some weight. The MLOK CM762 is heavier than the mark 901. Does anyone know the gas block size for 901’s? I’ve thought of maybe trying an adjustable gas block running it in heavy division. |
| Gas block journal is 0.750. Also, you'll need an Armalite AR10 carbine length gas tube to replace the straight tube of the 901. |

I have a NOS 6.5 I'm placing on Gunbroker. Thought I'd offer it to a AR15.com bro first. |

| Got a couple of Precision Reflex “Gas Buster” charging handles for the Colt 901/ CM762-16S. One has the Big Latch and the other has the Combat Latch. Both are brand new. Posted them up for sell on Tacswap under the name “garza1014.” Or text me at 956-375-4391 |

Anyone needs another 901 5.56 adapter, Arms Unlimited got 20 of them in stock yesterday (currently 16 left). $295 shipped, only like $50 more than they were direct from Colt a few years ago, vs. the $500-600 being asked on Gunbroker. Colt 901 Conversion Kit (Not affiliated with AU in any way other than one of the four sold so far was me) |

| IIRC the can had nothing to do with the receiver breaking. Whatever he used to secure the upper to do muzzle device work was the culprit. |

One more week and it would've been 6 months since I sent it in. Finally got my spare 901 BCG back from Wright Armory, with an NP3+ refinish. Can't wait to give it a try next time I head to the range! Attached File Attached File |

Ran fine, no issues or modifications needed other than a mount. I loved the recoil reduction that the warcomp added to the 901.  |

It measures different than a DPMS pattern bolt. Measured the lug length and then the depth of the bolt face from the front of the lugs. Seems like I read the specs from an Armalite bolt and it was incompatible with that as well, but I'm not sure IIRC. |

I love mine. I wish Colt would bring these back. Attached File And spare parts. I’d like a spare BCG. |

I’d like a spare BCG. Nice rig, I ran a VCOG 1-6 on mine for a bit while I was building the 5.56 gun it resides on now. Has anyone tried running a JP enterprises silent capture system in their 901? I know it’s a special buffer the 901 uses but with the JP system that kind of goes out the window. |

You might want to use a spacer if going the JP captured route. The 901 buffer is just a few thousandths longer than a DPMS pattern buffer and weighs what is considered a "heavy" by DPMS standards. The length difference was just enough to cause carrier impact to the lower when I tried a DPMS buffer and spring. |
