Everything has been said before. I don't know why you and yours insist on bringing it up every 10 seconds.
1) Colt makes the best AR. 2) As long as you don't challenge us on number 1, we don't care what you use. Just don't ask us why the bolt broke on you 6.5 inch DPMS pistol upper. |

If Colt makes the best AR:
1)Why does the US Military mostly use FN's? 2)Why does Blackwater use Bushmasters? Also Who makes the 1911's for the USMC SpecOps guys? |

I bring it up because I want to see the second amendment survive, and I don't understand why other people who claim to support the second amendment also support a company that has no respect for the second amendment. |

There's no doubt that Colt makes a high-quality AR, and no question that they have outstanding quality. My only beef with them is that they are significantly overpriced. The cost of the MP testing is at most $10-20, yet Colts often command a $300 premium over equally well-built products. I don't dislike the product at all, I love it - I just dislike their pricing. |

Actually, HK is a completely different situation. HK is hamstrung by the 1989 Import Ban. HK went out of it's way to produce products for the civilian market (SL8-1 and USC), but these products were rejected by consumers. Colt CHOSE to alienate the civilian market. |

1) Because the M16A4's are sold at a huge LOSS to FN. How is that for cheap. 2) Because they are cheap and Bushmaster has no militry contrcts to get in the way of avilability. 3) In house armorers. |

I don't know why, but I love my rampant Colt on my SP1. I haven't bought a new Colt AR, partially because they won't sell me one.
I am still thinking about buying an used Colt 1911. |

There are other factors involved. Suffice it to say that they make a lemon here and there, but you re less likely to get one from them. All the Colt's I've ever owned (3) have run right out of the box. I can't say that for all of the others. |

I got my colt thru a private deal and it was cheaper than anyother for me. I also like to have my firearms work with out haveing it worked on by me or a gunsmith, it's the only one Ive bought other than my glocks that not only had the sights straight but actually worked. My builds and teh builds I do for my friends all have colt bolt and carriers other lowers and uppers.

I'd go to war with John Noveske's gear any day. Many of our SOCOM boys already do (though not officially or on Uncle's dime)! Their Afghan profile M4 Barrel is a real "Taliban Slayer." |

Last time I checked each and every M4 in the US Military were marked 'Colt'. FN provided some M16A2s and some of the M16A4s, they are hardly 'most' of the US Military's arsenal (especially if you count all the Colt GAU-5s and M16A1s in AF and Reserve/NG armories.) |

odd, my mutt AR works great and hasnt broken, yet it is a blenderiffic mix of: bushy lower/fire control grop, white oak A3 upper, colt carry handle, DPMS b/bc/ch, bushy barrel, and a cheap assed gunshow special CAR stock. oddly out of the thousands of rounds I've put through it(mostly wolf no less) it has been every bit as reliable as the M4 carbine I had in the Army. |

Has not existed for many years. The only difference now is FCG pin size. That and quality control. And TDP compliance. And MPI/Proof load tested Bolts/barrels. And M16 carriers. And... well it's all been said before, ad nauseum, |

This is the essance of a free market place. Appearently over the years the trademark rampant Colt has meant quality, that is called goodwill in the business world, and of course it has meant that Colt can charge more than it's competitors for a their product and services. Personally I like them also, but I don't want to pay the premium because it isn't worth it to me. There are many who do pay the difference and it is worth it to them. When it comes time to sell them, a leader in its category will generally sell higher and faster. Why are you folks whining, this is the essence of captitalism, if you don't like A, you buy B or C etc. |
