Reliability of Colt M4 Carbine

The second phase of the PIP involves the acquisition of a new bolt carrier for the M4 carbine. The Project Manager Soldier Weapons (PM SW) concluded the competition for the bolt and bolt carrier assembly in April 2012. The PM SW received 11 designs from the manufacturers. The existing bolt carrier design surpassed the competing designs during the testing. Phase two also calls for a forward rail assembly competition.

Throughout the world today, Colt’s reliability, performance, and accuracy provide our Armed Forces the confidence required to accomplish any mission. Colt’s LE6920 series shares many features of its combat-proven brother, the Colt M4.

The US Army is expected to place contracts with up to three finalists in 2013. The final winner is expected to be short-listed in early 2014. The deliveries of new rails are to be made by the summer of 2014 depending on the decision of the US Army.
