    This SP1 that you speak of, that would grab my attention and empty my wallet some.
    The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...and a lot of bitching.

    I figured that would be thrown in with the Upper Receiver offerings as well as a 300 model. For the 300, offer one non NFA we could slap on any rifle and one compact SBR upper for our SBRs.

    I like the MARC 901 carbine. Anyone heard anything about it? Is it a good option for a .308 chambered carbine?
    My mom told me I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up. So I chose to be a man.

    Aluminum mag instead of P mag.

    Still a killer price.
    If those are the only differences then that's a hell of a deal!

    Totally. A 16" lightweight sporter with integrated carry handle (A2 style if you will), I'd be all over that. Through in triangle handguards and it'd be a deal.

    The handguard on the Expanse looks thinner. I'm guessing it lacks heat-shielding. Would like to be able to see the other side to see if forward assist and dust cover are present. Really looks like a Sport and AR556 response.

    Does anyone know if Colt batch tests some of their rifles or are all rifles individually MPI tested? Would be curious to see if they start batch testing the Expanse to save money if they don't already do batch testing. If they use the same BCG but just batch test it I'd be fine with that.

    Either way, at this price point ($550-600?) looks like a great deal for those of us who aren't operators or just want a back-up rifle.

    I had the previous LE 6900 that was the "sport" variant. It had a different carrier, and I would assume a different bolt, although I didn't pull the bolt out of the carrier to check. I won it at a DU banquet, and since I knew I wasn't keeping it I only did a quick look over.

    The Ar15A4 is looking sweet. I was day dreaming of this at work and it made the time fly.

    Hey thanks for the link. So it says the expanse is a "standard M4", so I'll assume it's had all the HPT/MPI, etc., that one would expect.

    That's a great price.
