Quote HistoryQuoted: Lol.....yeah, that Colt is definitely better and worth more than my Larue barreled premium build with a Geissele trigger and Noveske BCG. Sorry, but no. You're paying for the stamp on the side of that Colt. If that's worth it to you, go for it. But for $1300, you can have SO much more. That Colt is aggressively overpriced. They essentially took a $900 6720, threw on a $150 Centurion rail (they are that cheap at Lanbos, and Colt is likely buying in bulk for way cheaper than that), drilled the gas port at the middie position, and slapped some magpul stuff on there, and jacked the price up $400. Nope for me. This thing should be under $1k easily.

Quoted: So if I catch every sale over the course of six months I can spend the time to build a rifle with parts from six different manufacturers that should be about as good as the factory Colt for a couple hundred bucks less than what Colt's asking for retail. Great. So what? Glad Colt put this together, looks like a great product at a very reasonable price point. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: BCG was on sale for $130. Trigger was on sale for $175. SMOS rail was $150. Larue barrel was $200. That's $655 and leaves $245 for the small parts and receivers (Aero Precision matched set was on sale for $120 shipped). Always buy on sale. I'm not exaggerating when I say I built that rifle under $900. And it is a better rifle than that Colt. I could build the equivalent of that Colt for under $900 easily. At $1300, that rifle is insanely overpriced. And being a Talo exclusive, it won't go for much under MSRP. Quote HistoryQuoted: BCG was on sale for $130. Trigger was on sale for $175.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't necessarily blame them. I think that they know that the Colt name appeals to traditionalists. AR fads come and go fast. Remember when monolithic uppers were the hotness? Colt came out with the 6940 in relatively short order.... and it didn't sell worth a darn. A lightweight midlength barrel will appeal to the same crowd that likes the 6720.... and those have sold well. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Their excuse of a monolithic upper had all the disadvantages of a 7" rail on a 16" carbine, along with all the disadvantages of the monolithic upper. Just when it couldn't get any worse, they stuffed a piston it. It takes a lot of innovation and determination to build dumb shit like that. |

I'm sure the Colt haters will find something that's wrong with it. And they can probably build the same gun for $350.

I like what they did there.
Looks to be a direct competitor to the FN with the MI FF rail. |

Wow. What's all the 6920 Colt fanboys going to say. No need for a free float rail and mid length gas is stupid. Hmmm. Guess I don't look so stupid now.
