    Aluminum mag instead of P mag.

    Still a killer price.
    I wonder if there is more to it. It's $100 less msrp compared to the OEM models

    that lack of SOCOM sucks. I was really daydreaming about a SOCOM profile with a cutout new Centurion rail.

    Good point, maybe Grant will stock one for an internals report.

    They could sell as many mid length OEMs as they could make. I buy Colts because they are a step above the $600 S&Ws and Bushmasters. The "Expanse" is a step in the wrong direction.

    Nothing significantly new.

    Was hoping for a middy and some M4A1-style carbines with the right barrel profile and length, SBRd or pinned. At least the AR15A4 is there.
    Yea I was hoping for some middy options as well. The factory m4a1 would have been cool as well.

    Also while I'm sure I would be in the minority I wish they had some a2 options. At least in uppers you could buy. They have made a2 uppers with m4 feed ramps before so it wouldn't be hard to put their barrels on them and a shorter front sight.

    Yeah that's where I'm at with it. The 6900 I am pretty sure was more than that. I wonder if maybe it's a "sport" style upper? No FA, dust cover, etc?

    FN is marketing it's "Collector Series" M4/M16A4 guns. If Colt did a special "Collector's" run of, say, the old SP1's, I wonder if they would sell?

    I always felt that is where they could integrate the Custom Shop into the rifle line. Would simplify the rifle line while providing options. Example...

    OEM Line: 6920
    CS Line: 6920 SOCOM (Block I)

    OEM Line: 6720
    CS Line: 6720 LW SOCOM (Block II)
    CS Line: 6720 with Extended Rail

    OEM Line: AR15-A4
    CS Line: USMC "M16-A4" Package

    OEM Line: 6933
    CS Line: "Mk18" Package

    OEM Line: 6921
    CS Line: 6921 SOCOM (Block II)

    ...and so on. It'd take the same idea as FN's collector series while retaining quality. The line per model would work much like the M45A1 and the CS variant are offered off the shelf.

    As for your SP1 comment... add a "Legacy Line" with the SP1 Rifle, SP1 Carbine, and the AR15-A2 and you'd have it covered.

    Eliminate the niche models, if one wants Magpul furniture price the OEM-1 models where the buyer can equip it as they like. The line would cover the Legacy Fighting Rifles, the Base Fighting Rifles, and the modern advanced Fighting Rifles via the CS models.

    You didn't mention a mid-length. Therefore you will be shot at dawn.
