I'm thinking about picking one of these up tomorrow (my first AR)... anyone have anything bad to say about this model?

Thanks!

I'm wondering if your aware that your asking this question to the Colt representative under the industry forum?

I'd doubt they'll have anything bad to say about one of their products, but if you posted in the AR Discussion forum others might be more inclined to provide feedback.

BTW, I not familar w/ that model and don't own one which is why I have no comment, (also its bad manners to be derogatory on an Industry forum).

Get it, it is a great rifle.

I LUV mine! Its an M4, not 4gery. Mil-spec take down pins, chrome lined barrel and chamber, upper feed ramp cuts, RAS markings, Side sling mount, etc.. make it an excellent value too.

Mine is also Too Cool, so I'll say buy it.

If you ask elsewhere, you'll most likely get general bashing of Colt, 80% of it biased and unfounded.

Someone was offering one up for sale though, so maybe find out why he didn't like it?

DONT DO IT.  It's addictive.........

For what its worth, I love mine. The only thing that I would change is the muzzle brake. Its kind of ugly, and my pals at the range are not real happy about me firing it next to them. I am considering talking to Kurt about a different brake, but do not want to do anything permanent to the rifle. This is my second Colt, and I have only good things to say about both of them. I just purcahsed a RRA, and am going to the range with it Friday. I'm very interested to have something to compare.

IMO, its worth a few extra bucks to have the pony on the side. I looked at the Bushy M4, and almost got it, but the price difference between the 2 wasn't so much that I could not go with the Colt. I do like the brake better on the Bushmaster though.

FWIW: The Colt is around 70-90 more. The handguards and side sling mount cost that much.

I don't like most of BM's brakes.

EGW will install his brake for 125 IIRC. He threads the barrel, puts the brake on, blind pins it and welds over the pin. If you needed to later you could remove the brake, but of course you couldn't leave the threads open.
