Colt Defense was displaying the usual suspects, as well as the usual suspects dressed up in magpul and funky paint jobs.
The CM 901 was there in anodized camo. Colt said is was a great finish but prohibitively expensive. The LE 901 was there in FDE. We are likely to see many more of these. The bottom rail interface was slightly redesigned this year to add a screw to secure it in place.
There was also two models of a prototype 3-Gun Match rifle with a new lightweight one piece upper. One in piston and one with the standard expansion and belled off - both with gas regulators for suppressed operation. The piston was FDE and the standard gas had camo anodizing. These were at the show to see if there would be any interest. The standard gas system rifle shot very well at the range day.
The upper fits a standard carbine length, but there were two optional bolt-on extensions for folks that want longer rails or a mid or rifle length set up.
The rails were very trim and had detachable rail sections to cut weight.
