Alright, let's get the skinny down on this thing. I've been looking at ARs, see? And CJ_Clan just about demolished my reasons for NOT choosing a Colt. Sooo, what I want to know, is what is the availability of the 6601 ( not the 6601C compensated model )? How many of each does Colt make per-month, and why did Colt go ( not a problem, because they make two models ) with the Armalite-style brake rather than an A2 flashhider just bolted on? If anyone owns one, I sure would appreciate some glory/horror stories, and possibly some photos! |
| I have a Colt and it is pretty good. I love it, but I did notice some things that I didn't like, like the plastic buffer and the front (screw) take down pin. I have a bushmaster lower that just seems a little cooler. It has front and rear take down pins, safe and fire marked on both sides of the lower and it had a metal buffer. These are just the slight differences I noticed. Nothing too functionally different. I still prefer the horse on the side of my AR, but I don't think the Bushmaster is inferior. I guess what I am saying is that I like the name, but I really like the features of the Bushmaster. |

Those are fair reasons, but Colt recently switched to standard sized lock pins, and re installed a metal buffer. And GoldTop, I plan to get TONS more magazines than one or two. Try around 10 - 5 20rders and 5 30 rders.[:D] For all of you that have a room in your house full of spares, shut your traps.[:D] |
