Colt M5 rifle

I’m not big on ambi stuff. About the only thing I like ambi is bolt releases. I liked the colt monolithic stuff especially the 901 series.

I absolutely hate ambi lowers... un-needed complication in my opinion.

I had a MARS lower and ended up selling it. Having a mag release catching on shit and unintentionally dropping mags into the dirt gets old quick.

Safety is nice to have as ambi (being a southpaw myself). Mag release I can deal with like I always have.

As someone else mentioned, it's basically an M4 with fancy new furniture. Meh.

I still kick myself for not picking up a Colt 901 series .308.

They're still sticking with the severely outdated carbine length gas for the 14 in barrel lol...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.

"Severely outdated". Lmao. Go tell all those door kickers using "severely outdated" carbine length gas 14.5" M4's. Keep in mind that the test you're referring to with the midlength URGI was using M855A1 ammunition, which is damn near proof pressures. Of course it's going to hold up better than a 14.5" carbine. There is other testing such as by the Army that showed the M4A1 having over 3600 Mean Rounds Between Stoppages using M855. Y'know, ammunition at pressures that the rifle was actually designed for. It's funny to me how the tacticool AR world thinks one of the most proven gas/barrel length combos is severely outdated. We're not talking laser guns vs muskets here. At the end of the day these are still just select fire 5.56mm assault rifles that are more than reliable enough for high volume use. Nothing is game changing either way to make anything outdated.

Me too. And now apparently they are collectors items.

There is an unsold 901 at a local gun store, that has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust for years. The $2,500.00 asking price might have something to do with it.

If Colt/CZ. Brings a 16” version of the M5 out for civilian sale, I might have to make room in the safe...

If it is new in the box, I would drop $2500 for it without pause. Long out of production and typically sell over $3000. I have seen them sell as high as $5000.
