Since Covid-19 I do not shoot as much as I did, the Colt has been fired less than 200 rounds.
I miss the barrel changing of the LMT, but the Colt 901 does perform.
Some thing lighter would catch my attention, but functionality with lighter carbines is a consideration.
The 7.62 cartridge is not the best, but it does work in many different situations and it is available.
The days of shooting at the range may be over.
Well, I suppose there are better options out there these days, but the 7.62 has put a lot of people on the wrong side of the dirt. I think the ole girl still has a viable place to occupy, even these days.
Good night Chesty...wherever you are.
