Right or wrong, it's 2021 and DI just ain't gonna attract too many new customers military-wise. Love it or hate it the piston of one variation or another (i.e. long vs short stroke) is the wave of the future.

F**k China!
DI does just fine and I am willing to bet that more DI guns are still getting sold to military and LE than piston based AR15 guns. The Naval component of JSOC just replaced their HK piston guns with DI Noveskes as well and the army side of the house is looking at KAC supposedly. Regardless, Colt has a viable piston design as well that they refuse to sell and offering the M5 is better than being frozen in time.

Looks like Colt Canada plans to offer an M5 lower with a monolithic upper receiver to the Brits for their new specs ops rifle tender.
Also, it now looks like the bolt can be locked to the rear using the right side bolt catch control. That was definitely not something that could be done with the older LE901 rifles.
If they make it available in the US, I’d buy one. Or two.
