If it's a Colt it's a copy of an Armalite.

Some early bolt carriers had a narrow slot that requires a narrow hammer. Don't remember when that changed.
All that is required is a narrow hammer, or a newer carrier IF it is a problem. |

I have an Armalite AR10 Natioanl Match that is superb. I HAD a regular Armalite AR10 that was an inaccurate piece of crap that I spent a ton of money and time trying to correct but never got sorted out.

Have the option to pick up a complete mid-length upper for $200, bought new in 2005. For $200 you would be nuts not to buy it!!!! They (Armalite) charges that for a stripped flattop upper last I looked. |

I'm not talking Armalite.. just stuff thats for sale on the web. In building I reject alot of uppers because they don't fit tight & a few lowers, so you'd find the fit issue with anything its not an Armalite thing. |

I have a complete 16" M4 armalite upper I bought over 10 years ago during a thanksgiving special. Love the upper, my only gripe is that it doesn't like wolf or Tula very much.
After a few hundred rounds I start to get stuck cases until I get in there with a chamber brush. Besides that it's accurate and 100% reliable with brass cased ammo. |

Armalite has always treated me good. I have never had a bad apple through them.
Period When I first joined this site, arfcom preached the ABC's Armalite Bushmaster Colt To the best of my knowledge, armalite has not changed and still makes a good product. |

I have an Armalite 20" Hbar that's over 20 years old. I have had exactly one malfunction with it in those 20 years. I fired a round and the next round failed to load all the way. I did tap rack bang and cleared it and kept going. Of course this happened on the clock during a competition. Don't know what it was but its never happened again. I would not hesitate to buy an Armalite anything. |

I shot next to a guy at a Thunder Ranch rifle class whose Armailte constantly choked until I dropped a spare Colt BCG in it. Didn't have time to figure out what the issue was.
