Colt Midlength

[Unobtanium]

Colt should just really name this thing the "Colt intent model, because:theory" and be done.

Any news on when it's coming out?

"Soon"

Last time I inquired I was told summer. Then when pressed further, I was told July or August. It seems to keep getting pushed farther and farther back given some in the industry were saying it would be displayed at the NRA show.

That's my impression as well.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Colt is having serious QC issues. The rifles they are shipping to a large LE customer are showing up with dings in the receivers (gouges really - showing bare aluminum), missing charging handles, crooked has blocks (to the point the rifle won't function), etc.

I have no idea why this is happening but I'd love to see them leave the commie state and not have to tolerate the unions.

Please advise which "large LE customer" you are referring to...

I'd really like to have a Colt middy, but I don't want an aluminum handguard

I think this might be it. Lipseys has it on their website as well. The spec sheet says release date of October 2016 so maybe we are close.

Nice catch - here are the pics. Looks like a Centurion Arms rail.
