COLT SHALL PAY!!!! (with all it's rifles and pistols!!) man...i love HK but not enough to go to germany to get a lower...WHY DOES COLT TORMENT ME???   
|
There could have been other factors as well - I do not know for a fact this is why they didn't market it here. They just yanked it from the US market at about that time and changed the name. Didn't mean to cause a stir! Guys please don't make this a Colt bashing or any other brand bashing thread, not what it is intended to be, Thanks! This is strictly about the information. |

Wonderful. The amazing thing to me is how many manufacturers there are/have been for the AR-15/M-16. Most of the logos are pretty ordinary, but I like three above all, strictly in the graphics sense: #1. Armalite #2. Bushmaster, even though it appears to have been drawn by a 12 yr. old. #3 Colt. Not that it's visually that great, but it's Colt. It's magic. Now, this is strictly subjective, but one receiver stood out to me - the Bushmaster. It looks like all receivers are different, while meeting the required form, fit and function. For some reason, the Bushmaster seems to look 'right'. I thought it should have been the Colt, but that didn't do it for me. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a Bushmaster? |
lol it was a joke...Colt still has a place in my heart...*sounds wierder than intended* |
Sorry about that.... Should be up soon!

Gee, I thought the Oly SGW stop sign CAR-AR picture I sent your was better than the one you put up. Also, I noticed that the Stag Arms lowers you have pictured have model numbers and the caliber stamped on the receiver above the trigger. Neither of the two Stag lowers I have, have any stampings over the trigger and neither have a model number on them. Would you care for a picture of this variation? |
Yes, any variation warrants posting IMO. please send it. I will have to review the pic you sent, I want the best for each to be posted. ETA: I looked at the pic you sent, it is MUCH better. Don't know how I missed that. Probably because I have been posting the images and editng them from 3 different PCs  !I will add it in the next batch. Thanks again! Thanks, _DR |
AR-15 Rifles are like women.
No two are exactly alike, they want all the best accessories and it will take all the money you can earn to satisfy their needs.

threepdr, I got your IM but I can't reply because you have your IM disabled in your profile. If you will enable your IM, I will send you my email address so you can send the receiver pic. Thanks! _DR |

What's the story with this M4/M16A2E rollstamp? Are we sure its a 977? The picture title says 777. |

Thatguy96, You have a good eye, you are right, it's a RO777, the RO977 designation for the M16A2E was an error I made when making the caption. It will be fixed with the next batch of update files I send to Troy to host. Bear with me guys, I know it's been a while but I've got a ton more to add to it, including all the new submissions seen above, hopefully by this weekend. Good call though, that error is what happens when you stare at Colt model numbers too long!  Please, anyone that finds ANY error, please point it out so I can confirm it and fix it. I am by no means an expert, just trying to put together the images and info. Thanks, _DR |

I might, but it would be a long ways down the road. Compiling what is going to amount to 200+ images into a PDF would take a while since I only have a PDF writer, not the full version of Acrobat. I'll be adding about 100 new images when the current batch is done. (still trying to identify many forging marks). |
