    SHOT SHOW 2012: Colt AR15 SP901, LE6240P and Expert C15

    Looks like Colt is finally having some spare capacity to think of commerical sales. The SP901 was new last year and it would be finally put to delivery very soon. The final MSRP will be 2100ish and selectively fire version will be available to Mil/LE. We got the chance to shoot this again and we still think it is one of the softest shooting AR style 308 semi automatic rifle. The lower receiver in picture had gone through 23,000 rounds.



    And the 6940P is finally being delivered as well. The piston system has been flogged by Colt for years but this is finally becoming a consumer product. Compared to the regular direct gas impingment system, the recoil of the 6940P is to faster shooting. The "brown" color of the demo gun is definitely interesting. Also Colt is now marketing a LE6920SOCOM - basicly it is a LE6920 that is dressed with RAS and Matech sight at the factory.





    If the M4 logo gives you hard on, your prayer is being answered.

    In addition to the more "tactical" AR, Colt is also rolling up its sleeves to get into the 3-gun market.

    i believe the bottom one comes with Samson Rail and Geissele 3.5lb trigger. Those match triggers are scarily light! I could easily engage all targets within 200m without much effort.

    Pretty decent, but 3 shot goups and horizontal spread do not say too much.

    mmmmmmm.......SP901. Me want.

    DeRK: What the heck would be the point of buying a 6940P lower? It's a piston rifle. Or would it be a Look Cool Factor thing.

    My Colt is lacking the .223 stamp, just 5.56. You can get them up here.

    I like!
    "I like guns, I like the way they look,
    I like the shiny steel and the polished wood.
    I don´t care if they´re big or small,
    if they´re for sale, hell, I want´em all!
    I like guns, I like guns, I like guns!"
