People who buy Colts either are insecure with their skills at fixing a problem with a rifle (like replacing worn out small parts) or they buy it just for the name.

Jesus DevL, generalize much?
[s]My newest AR was a Colt because frankly I got tired of fighting with second-tier ARs to make them run properly. Between my first two Colts in 1991 and my newest M4 carbine I've had four non Colts. Of the four the only one that ran as advertised was my Rock River.
I'm sorry, but a brand new XM15 shouldn't have to go back to Auburn three times to correct issues that should have been addressed during assembly.
Colt bashers love to talk about specs, like Bushmaster barrels having the same 4150 steel as Colt barrels for example. They neglect to mention that specs mean fuckall without quality control.
Having to replace an extractor spring or other minor part on a brand new rifle is no big deal-shit happens. Being unable to zero the irons without dialing in maximum windage is quite another.[/s]
[blue]Screw it, I'd have better luck explaining an amortization schedule to a preschool class.[/blue]
Speaking of generalizations, it will be a great day when the Colt bashers learn to move beyond their inferiority complexes and leave the rest of us alone.
Your choices aren't our fault...
