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 (?).

F**k China!
Will they be offered here in the US?
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They're still sticking with the severely outdated carbine length gas for the 14 in barrel lol...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.
I absolutely hate ambi lowers... un-needed complication in my opinion.
