When it comes to a rifle good enough for the lowest common denominator (grunt) and not just games and mall-ninja's, someone found their offerings lacking.Only one quibble with that part. As you already noted, Colt didn't enter any 7.62's back then. Time will tell going forward though. I have quite a bit of confidence in them when they set their sights on something. The 901 platform should develop nicely from here on out. One more addition--- Colt does bring something new to the board in the 7.62 platform (albeit of very limited application
). The 901 is compatible with drop in auto sears, and I just happen to have a registered one.
I have no illusions that it'll be controllable in carbine configuration, but I got to rock it just because I can!LOL
