I think that that this is the most stupid subject talked about on AR15.COM. Almost all brands made today are good to go. If You cant afford or justify the money for a Colt then deal with it. If someone wants to spend more money for a IMHO a slightly better product then so be it. I prefer Colts but have never bashed a different brand because I have respect for people on this site and I am not going to shit on there choice of rifles. = Rant off= |

Many of the Colt M4A1 SOCOM barrels I've sold have been to contractors going to the sandbox. While there are many fine alternative barrels on the market the main reason these operators are going with the Colt is for the well proven track record. Colt set the standard when it comes to quality control. I won't criticize anyone's choice especially if the barrel is going on a semi. Hell, I can't decide myself whether to put an Olympic SUM barrel on my predator rifle build or a WOA barrel. And I'm a Colt guy!

I prefer 1:9 and also have a 1:12. Seeing as how I'm not a special forces counter sniper shooting insurgents at 500m, I could care less about shooting 77-100 grain bullets.

Preach it, brother! Not a day goes by when I don't hear a story about Bushmaster barrels blowing up because they weren't individually MP tested. Given the tens of thousands of Bushmaster rifles sold every year, hundreds of them are undoubtedly blowing up every day.  Keep paying $200 for a completely unecessary $2 test on your rifle, if you want to. It's a free country. Meanwhile, if anyone has ANY evidence that MP testing individual barrels (instead of batches) makes ANY different to reliablity, safety, durability, etc - I would love to hear about it. |

Nothing better than Colt-besides when you guy's refer to your rifle as a "Bushy" sounds like you should join th ARAFAG forum.Just my humble opinion-out

I could not agree more-the gun laws suck, as soon as my kids grow up I will sell my house and and get out of here. Then I will have some money to lend you Bushy and after market fans so you can go buy a real rifle. See ya

So, what you are saying is that the standard size is wrong because Colt makes their civvie lowers in .170? Come on, we all know why colt did that, and it's a non-issue. Everyone except colt uses the "normal" size, and colt mucked it up by using a larger size. Blaming everyone else for being normal while colt is abnormal, is asanine. Also, in past posts, you were asking why someone would buy a non-milspec part. Then you proceeded to say that any FCG that was not .170 was not made right. The normal size is MIL-Spec. I promise you, you won't find a Colt military m-4/m16 with the .170 FCG. It's eithor mil-spec or it isn't, and .170 is NOT. It's eithor right, or not, and .170 is NOT. |

I have to say. . . I payed more for my 1st Bushy than I did for my Colt. . . . ouch I know!
Colt 6530 Deluxe lightweight 16" no FH Bushy M4-A1 16" Birdcage Bushy A2 HBAR 14.5" Vortex And if I had to pick the best shooter of the three rifles, I'd go with my Colt any day. . . . not for the name, and it is camo painted over, so you can't tell what it is hardly, but it flat shoots better and more accurately than the other two I have. . . . My Colt is 1:7 and my two Bushy's are 1:9 IMHO, . . . My two cents worth, . . . and with the utmost respect for Bushy. . . . . My Colt rules this house. It is my go to weapon. P.S. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for buying Colt. . . . sheesh. |
