Soldier Systems has been on top of the rumors surrounding Colt’s entry into the 7.62 AR world. Now, we finally have some truly impressive details about the Colt CM901 thanks to David Crane at Defense Review. Even without all the innovation, I trust Colt to bring a durable, reliable 7.62 AR to market.
This rifle looks to be the next evolutionary step for the AR family of weapons. I hope it finds its way onto dealer shelves.

The Mega Arms MA-TEN upper and lower receiver sets give those who want to build a .308 AR some serious options. The MA-TEN set will accept all DPMS and Knight’s Armament parts. It will also except all Armalite parts except the the barrel nut and magazine. That adds up to a lot of versatility.
This set has one huge advantage over other .308 AR receivers. That advantage is a combination of two factors. Since the MA-TEN is built to use the SR-25 magazine, shooters can use the excellent PMAG 20-LR. And, the MA-TEN allows you to use Noveske barrels which are known for their extreme accuracy. The combination of PMAGs with Noveske barrels make for a top quality combination.
Mega Machine and Rainier Arms looks to have a winner on their hands.
