Colt SP901

Looking through the April 2011 issue of Shooting Illustrated, and on the review of new guns, they have listed a Colt SP901 in 7.62 Nato. The interesting thing about it is, it can also accept uppers of 5.56! Colt has come out with some sort of adapter, that they are hush-hush about at the present time. This could very well end up the next US service rifle.

Bustah, I happened to notice your signature. I love it. I used to have a T-shirt that said: I came into this world fat and bald, and intend to go out the same way. But, in light of how screwed up our country is these days, I think yours is much more appropriate.

Not for much longer with Ohio and Wisconson doing as they've done.

Re: Colt SP901

Interesting! One quick upper change and you can go from 5.56 to 7.62x51 in no time.
It does pique my interest though I really like the FN SCAR - Can't afford 'em but like 'em!
