The next evolution of Colt's established carbine platform, the EPR II blends proven TDP components with certified MIL-SPEC materials, coatings, finishes, and proprietary processes — ensuring every EPR II is built to professional standards for reliable performance across a wide range of conditions.
The Colt free-float rail features Magpul M-LOK slots, a full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny top rail, and seven M-LOK mounting orientations for maximum attachment flexibility. Anti-rotation tabs and two integrated steel QD sling swivel sockets complete this rigid, lightweight system. Suppressor-ready and available in multiple barrel lengths, the EPR II is a configurable, high-performance platform built for demanding operational environments.
