Quoted: I just read a thread of someone complaining about a defect on a Colt. The replied posts are rather funny but I'll give my two cents on the company... Colt is like Jeep. A real Jeep. (Willy's, CJ, Wrangler) Not always the best features...always basic for it's era, often times far from perfect, corporation changes over the years just like Jeep..Willys then AMC, then Chrysler... But there's just always something cool about them and most who've never owned one always secretly wished they had. Colt always holds strong resale money...like a Jeep..(try and buy a used Wrangler sometime, they fetch all the money in the world) Lastly they're America. The name, the look...is just America. Not always the best. Many times imperfect... But they're still a Colt...or a Jeep.. and that name still means most of all !! Unfortunately, no. Daimler sold them off to Fiat a good while back. Many models are just that….shitty cheap made re-badged un American Fiat’s. Colt is owned by CZ btw….. |

When people say jeep, they mean a real jeep -- the wrangler/gladiator made in America. Not the rebadged fiats that aren't really jeeps. Also, jeeps are expensive.. I bought one new and paid ~50k. Colts are on the cheaper side of AR15s |

Colt gets the thing that matter right.
Proper barrels and BCGs. I have a complete Geissele build that had the barrel pulled because the chamber was out of spec. I threw a used 6920 barrel and BCG in it and have been loaning it out for over a year. Everyone thinks it’s some super duper extended gas tier one deal and comments on how flat and smooth it shoots. 16” carbine with an H2… |

Obviously you've no idea what I'm talking about and I thought I was crystal on this. REAL Jeeps....and I thought I specified that clearly. Wrangler, CJ, Willys... Perhaps you think a Jeep compass wasn't a Dodge Caliber... Maybe you think a Liberty isn't or wasn't a Didgo Nitro either...?.. |

So basically you bought a Colt and a Jeep because they both hold their resale values? And not just Colts or Jeeps but REAL ONES that's made in Merica! Like no other car, or AR15 were ever made in the USA. It's like that guy who bought a Honda and was like, "Man, I should have bought that Jeep and that Colt AR, but I'm going to secretly wish that and never disclose that."

If anything, they have only improved over the years. |

Comparing and opinionating on the likeness and Americanism of two companies…..to me is not much a technical discussion. Even more so once when it turns into a post count/join date dick measurement discussion.

On a quiet night, you still can't hear a Colt rust.
My 94 YJ is my DD October - April. My Colt doesn't get out nearly that much. |

In the northeast with snowstorms, road salt etc. I moved to Arizona, and my trusted mechanic told me everything in the undercarriage was rusting rotting out. He told me get rid of it, or be prepared for it to start nickel and dimming me with repairs. Li decided to trade it in, I gave fair disclosure- fist size rust spots in the body, dents and scratches rips in the soft top and more. Over 150K on the odometer too. They gave me 8 grand, which seemed ridiculous to me. The sales guy said Jeeps were so popular in AZ, with limited work, they would sell it in a day. |
