Rio Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 A while back I got a Colt LE 901 Modular 16 S. I would like to re barrel to 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm trying to get a bbl extension, gas tube and block. I made a wrench and changing bbl would be a snap. When Colt still had contact e-mail I talked to someone and was informed if they ever sold those parts Brownells would handle that. Two weeks ago Brownells was good enough to get in touch with Colt, no reply so far. Checked Colt web site today and the LE901 Mod. is not listed in the catalog. Do they still make it, and can someone tell me if an outside vendor makes those parts for Colt or any other way I can get them.
Robocop1051 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Pull the bbl off your 901 have the bbl ext taken off the .308 barrel thread a 6.5cr bbl blank for the ext, install and chk headspace contour the new bastard barrel, drill for gas, and reinstall.
survivalshop Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Contact ADCO , as above the Barrels Extension needs to be removed & installed on a new Barrel . https://adcofirearms.com/products/gunsmithing/barrel-modificationrepair/ Edited January 31, 2018 by survivalshop
Robocop1051 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 ADCO or AR15Barrels.com both are extremely reputable in making barrel modifications

I want to be able switch bbls . Keep the original as is, with a barrel extension and nut I can put on a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor and change barrels and the gun is back to spec.
jtallen83 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) CDNN has been clearing out lots of Colt parts over the last year or so, maybe contact them and see if they have anything. ArmsUnlimited also deals with lots of Colt parts. Edited February 1, 2018 by jtallen83
survivalshop Posted February 2, 2018 Report Posted February 2, 2018 Is this the Upper Receiver ?

Rio Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks for the link, at least Brownells has some LE901 parts. I just need the bbl extension and nut, I can thread and chamber the bbl. Rio
