“This was a natural move for us,” Justin Baldini, Product Director for Colt, said in a press release. “We simply listened to what our customers and our Colt Stocking Dealers were telling us, and the story was simple. Folks want the added features of a real Colt dust cover and forward assist, and they want it to come that way from the factory.”
Building on what customers know and love from the original Expanse M4 CE1000 — the Colt forgings, bolts and other parts used on the Colt M4 line — the new Expanse M4 CE2000 now includes a Colt dust cover and forward assist.
“We couldn’t be happier to deliver to our customers exactly what they want,” said Paul Spitale, Senior VP at Colt. “It’s a proud moment to be able to build on the success we’ve had with the Expanse™ M4 in a way that provides an even better ownership experience to the discerning firearms enthusiast.”
