First, Welcome to AR15.COM.
Second, I don't think it's any more a privilege to own a Colt than any other firearm. I have nothing against Colt (really don't give a rat's ass about their marketing/distribution practices) but to say it is a privilege to own a Colt over a Bushmaster, Armalite or any other quality AR just shows you are just as biased as the people you just stated amazed you with their brand rivalry. Nothing wrong with that, mind you, but let's just be clear on that. |

The "I know Roto" was in response to Roto's advice to me in using symbols to show my sarcasism.

 I changed it after I realized I was being a d*ck for giving an obviously intelligent guy a lesson on how to use smilies.  I'm gonna sit in the corner now.

guns are no different then cars, electronics or any other "guy toy" You're always going to have the proverbial mines bigger contest. Viper guys talk shit to Vette guys, Vette guys talk shit to Rustangs and so forth. I own both, I prefer the Bushmaster, just my opinion. The Colt holds the value better but that's only do to the fact that some guys are crazy enough to pay more for the pony.

I dont consider it a priveledge to pay a premium for a name. My Bushmaster will beat up your Colt any day of the week.. In fact I like Bushmaster so much I bought 3, and I like Oly enough to own 1.
Dont own a Colt though..

hey..while Colt and Bushmaster might be the two companies most associated with AR-15 manufacture (to most people, not all), just remember..if Armalite didn't design it and sell it to Colt due to financial problems, we wouldn't HAVE our ARs!hug.gif
Proud to own an Armalite M15 A2...but I respect and still love all others! Kevhug.gif |

RagingRob, let me add my Welcome. As you can see, you need a thick skin and an flame suit here at times, but it is really a great Forum - lots of knowledge, if you can seperate wheat from chaff. And a more helpful bunch you will never see!
And being a primary Colt partisan - note that I wear it on my sleeve just so no one will be taken unawares - glad to hear you got a "real" M4. The only way to fly. The fun part for us Colt guys is that the vituperation is mostly envy - or ignorance. Either way, we aren't overly bothered by the unenlightened. They'll figure it out, if they ever use their rifles hard enough. The LE and .mil Professionals already know the score. So take no crap from anyone as a Colt owner - the differences are real and measurable. Better metal, correct, fighting tolerances and properly made parts are hard to argue with. Colt is a manufacturer, not just an assembler that buys their parts by the pound and has orangutans assembling them. They control their entire manufacturing process because the US Military requires all the material checks, gauging and proofing. The civilian buyer gets the benefit of having a gun made to a higher standard - in a factory that makes guns for war - not posturing. You can rest assured that Colts are being fired "in anger" by our wonderful forces in the fight for a better world and giving a good account of themselves every day. No company employing fallible human beings can ever be 100%, but Colt makes the best guns overall by a wide margin. Mudslinging by those who haven't looked into the subject deeply can't change that. So welcome aboard - and don't take ANY of this too personally, just have fun with it. Warmly, Col. Colt Certified Law Enforcement Firearms Trainer Certified Glock, Colt and Remington LE Armorer PS - It is YOUR Right - and a Privilege - to own a Colt! |

Let’s see, I can pay top dollar for the cheapest bidder or shop around and find another mfg that can improve the specs... Tough choice.. jk how __________________________ Eagles may fly, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines! |

Let's not forget that the Sony Beta Max videocassette player performed better than the VHS units back when VCRs were a new thing.
Like Colt, They deviated from the standard (Colt with it's odd sized FCG pins) Like Colt, They place a monetary premium on their technology (read: Overpriced). Like Colt, Ownership was limited to a relatively small portion of the population, afficionados if you will. Like Colt, It was harder to find parts and when you did, they were ungodly expensive. Although Sony continued on, the Beta Max disappeared into the bottomless abyss that swallows failed products, good ones as well as bad, now to be seen only in museums and collectors closets. The Colt AR15 Rifle will meet a similar fate if Colt management does not pull their heads out of their collective asses. |

I know what you're saying, my neighbor was sold on Beta, now he's sold on McIntosh ...I understand your point and thank you for your obvious passion for the AR, but there is a couple of conflicts going on around our globe right now which Colt has contractual obligations to.... I'm sure of this fact, if we were in peace times right now, Colt would be catering to the general public in a BIG way. |

Thanks redfisher, its just awesome to own an AR. I think that people lose the reality of our freedom here in the US. I've lived other places that did not have such freedom. |
