I wish they'd make that with a lightweight barrel instead of the M203 profile. I hate that barrel profile. Shave it down, the gun looks better and save a few ounces. Ounces that would be better served going towards an optic, charging handle, ambi controls or anything that's actually useful on a civilian AR.

Needs a cheaper version with no grip or FCG

If it saves you $100 or so off of your typical 6920 it'd be worth it.

$793 MSRP. That's a street price of about...what... $650? That sounds like a good deal for people that change out the missing parts.

The idea is to leave it bone stock and just drop an SSA in it.

That's cool, and I like that they actually use a cut-down FSB.
On a side note, I think that Colt has literally used every single idea that I posted in a "What Should Colt Make?" thread about five years ago.

The AR-15s in Escape from New York didn't have hand-guards, it only took Colt 24 years to catch up to John Carpenter.

Unforeseen affects? 18 U.S. Code § 921 - Definitions (7) The term "rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of an explosive to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger. |

Good idea until you realize you have to punch that cut down FSB for most rails out there.... Might aswell come with the barrel unattached.

I'm a bit of a Colt fan, but I don't kid myself that he won't shill for the highest bidder (not that he is alone in that respect). Good concept anyway. Even if it's $100 less, it'll draw buyers. If they were really on the ball, though, they'd ditch the M4-style barrel and go with the lightweight. Those are the "in" thing right now. |

Key part is though it came from the factory without a stock. Even with a 16" barrel it doesn't automatically make it s rifle. Like the mp5 pistols that came in with 16" barrels, 100% foreign made and classified as a pistol because it had no stock. |
