Pulpsmack you sound like a troll. I will feed you anyway.
If you can get a $600 DPMS with a FORGED lower and durable iron sights, and a chrome-lined milspec barrel with a 5.56 NATO chamber, (not the ultra-heavy bull barrel that loses velocity because it is 16inches long but still makes the gun too barrel-heavy to balance correctly), please tell me where you got it from, because I want that gun for $600.
No, a "low-pro" flattop upper with no detachable carry handle does not count (note that, with the exception of the "Varminter" model, all A3 configuration rifles come shipped with the detachable carry handle from Bushmaster: you'll be paying an extra $70 to get yours).
Oh yeah, who the fuck said Colt was the "real deal"? The last time Colt was an innovator in the civilian firearms field was, imho, just after the Civil War. Ever since then, they've been laughing all the way to the bank by selling ordinary firearms with an extraordinary name and a neato horsey logo on the side. Its like Nike telling everyone they make the best shoes in the world, when really they are made in the same 3rd world sweatshops for $5 a pair that everyone else's shoes are made. If you are dumb enough to pay $120 for a pair of Nikes I guess you are dumb enough to spend "a few hundred more for the real deal."
Hey, I got a Porsche 944, it's a pre-ban, made in 1984, you can have it for only $10,000. Anytyhing else is a copy and is inferior, mine says "Porsche" on the valve covers, theirs doesn't! (I paid $3000, hold my beer and watch this, boys...)
