The FDE offerings are always nice options (fore-end, grip, and stock in FDE). The comprehensive camo coverage could be interesting for those who want that.

I like the AR15A4. I'm surprised Colt hasn't offered this particular configuration previously.

As a concept, my favorite is the updated XM177E2 (what he referred to as a "6720LECAR"). Of course, the moderator is nothing more than a cosmetic piece, and as stated in the video, is permanently attached to bring the barrel length to 16" to avoid SBR status. I wouldn't buy one of this new model myself, but I've always loved the XM177E2.

Not sure why they didn't put the old-style triangular carbine handguard on the XM177E2 model.

Some of the color options are neat, but nothing blows me away.

I'd rather see smarter barrel profiles, a published midlength gas standard, and those long modular colt handguards (see the AUSA story at vuurwapen blog).

Also, I saw ambi safeties but not full ambi features. I think colt can do better.

I wonder how much the commando will be. If its under 1k might be work getting.

Colt should release a factory SPR/Recce style rifle.
