Gun: The Colt M5

The Colt M5 Carbine represents the next evolution of the M4 platform, combining proven Colt reliability with meaningful enhancements for today’s shooters. Built on the foundation of one of the most trusted carbines in the world, the M5 keeps the familiar handling, and dependability users expect from Colt with enhancements that improve control, durability, and overall performance.
A key feature is the M5’s ambidextrous design. The magazine release, bolt release, and safety selector are positioned for intuitive operation from either side, giving both right- and left-handed shooters greater control and confidence. Whether used on the range, in training, or in the field, the M5 is designed to support fast, smooth handling without adding unnecessary complexity.
The M5 also features a strong, stable front-end design. Its handguard provides a solid platform for modern accessories such as lights, lasers, optics, and other mission-focused equipment. This added stability helps accessories remain consistent while also improving heat management during extended use.
The M5’s barrel profile is designed for strength and accuracy potential. The heavy barrel is built to stand up to hard use while maintaining the durability and dependability that have long defined Colt carbines. At the same time, the M5 retains many familiar components, making it practical, serviceable, and easy to integrate users already familiar with the M4 platform.
The Colt M5 Carbine is a practical, modern sibling to the M4. It keeps what made the platform trusted around the world and provides strong construction, ambidextrous controls, and a design built for the needs of today’s carbine users.

Ammo: 500 Rounds of Black Hills 5.56

Black Hills’ Dual Performance™ line features a monolithic machined copper projectile that immediately begins expansion upon impact forming a temporary cavity exceeding the capability of conventional bullets. Once the large primary cavity is created, the petals release from the body of the projectile to cut separate wound tracks through the stressed tissue. The body of the bullet, still retaining a substantial percentage of its original weight but now free from the unnecessary drag, penetrates deeply to ensure maximum effect on the target.

MSRP: $1,119.00
