One of Colt's people at Media Day told me that the Colt SCW (Sub Compact Weapon), or at least the short buffer tube and foldable stock, will be coming to a semi-automatic civilian legal rifle.
The full auto version was on display at SHOT and I had the opportunity to shoot it. Lots of fun 
No more information on this compact carbine is available other that what I have already posted, but here is a photo taken at SHOT by Remov:

Over the past few months Colt has been unveiling a variety of new AR-15 firearms. If a replacement for the M16 or M4 is chosen they want it to be a Colt. To ensure this designed a range of weapons that should cover all bases. David @ Defense Review has been relentlessly covering the new firearms.
Many of the improvements Colt have developed have been applied to all these guns, I won’t list them all, click the links to read the full details.

Colt ACC-M (Advanced Colt Carbine-Monolithic)
This is basically an upgraded M4. It features many small improvements over the M4A1 and Colt’s new monolithic rail system. If it was adopted it I think it would probably be named the M4A2.
Colt Advanced Piston Carbine (APC)
David calls this the HK416 killer. It utilizes the Colt Articulating-Link Piston (ALP) system.
Colt Advanced Hybrid Carbine (AHC)
This carbine features a hybrid gas impingement and gas piston system. I am very interested to see how that works.
Colt Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR)
I covered this a few weeks ago on the blog. It is a light machine gun and Colt’s entry into the Marine Infantry Automatic Rifle competition.

Hi, welcome to The Firearm Blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearm related. If you are into AR-15 and AK carbines, skeet shotguns, self defense pistols or hunting rifles then there will be something here for you. I hope you enjoy it.
I want this blog to appeal to a worldwide audience and so I will focus on firearms and shooting rather than country specific politics. There are already many great blogs defending your rights!
