I’d like to see these available but I’ve already committed to the LMT monolithic platforms.

For some reason I thought the M5 was a piston gun (?).

Will they be offered here in the US?

If so, the 14.5” has my money.

It would be great. The more the merrier.

No my knowledge there is not current plan to sell them here. I hope that changes.

They're still sticking with the severely outdated carbine length gas for the 14 in barrel lol... when mid-length has already proven itself to be extremely reliable and far more optimized/optimum and has been adopted even (URGI). As usual Colt is still stuck in the past and refused to evolve. This is just same ole M4 with some fancy furniture.

I imagine for the current intended customers being foreign agencies, being able to say that it uses the same operating system as the tested and ubiquitous M4 is a feature. Colt does have rifles with mid length gas systems in their line up.

It seems that a lot of times militaries and agencies will shirk the collective wisdom of the Internet. A good example of this are the new DevGru Noveskes having 10.5 inch barrels with .081 gas ports.
