Brand new Colt Light Rifle just back from Melvin Forbes for his total package. It is 7mm Rem Mag with brake. His stock, timney trigger and all his internal parts.

CLR barrel, timney trigger and brake was threaded so should be removable.

Only 7 rds fired. Rifle was NIB when sent to him. I tried those 7 rds and he may have fired 1 to test. Bolt face shows no marks or wear as shown in pic

Talley 1" rings weight is just over 6 lbs

My orthopedist says no more mags for my neck even with a brake. It has to go.

$2100 shipped to your FFL

Not really interested in trades but you never know
