    Several months back SAR had a piece on the M5 and other Colt prototypes
    • formerly known as "eguns-com"
    • M4Carbine required notice/disclaimer: I run eguns.com
    •eguns.com has not been actively promoted in a long time though I still do Dillon special
    orders, etc. and I have random left over inventory.
    •"eguns.com" domain name for sale (not the webstore). Serious enquiries only.

    M5 Leica?

    M4, M5; whatever it takes.

    It's that simple.

    I wish Colt would put it out. It would be nice to have a top-tier alternative to the HK416.

    Thanks for all the info. I was wondering does anyone have an opinion about Sabre firearms?

    When I did the colt armorer recert last year, the instructor said "I don't know why they advertise them, we don't have one built in the inventory that is ready for sale (he wasn't counting the prototype/demo guns) and they don't have any plans or orders right now to sell them"

    I don't know why Colt didn't come out with this years ago. It would have been a blessing to our soldiers, but it was probably cheaper and profitable for them to continue push and market the DI M4's to the military.
