Colt, Sig, and S&W AR Rifles

[Dynasty]

I'm looking to purchase an AR15 rifle in the near future and have my eye on three particular models. The three include Colt 6920, Sig M400, and S&W M&P 15 Sport. The Colt and Sig are about the same price while the S&W is a few hundred less.

This will be my first AR, but I want it to be my only AR that I will keep for life.

I am very strict on maintenance and this rifle will be well cared for. I want a quality firearm that is accurate, reliable, and well built.

Which would you choose and why? Should one be eliminated from the equation right away?

Go for the Colt.

I'd go for it because Colt is guaranteed quality every time, and is 100% mil spec. There is no guess work. SIG's quality is laughable, and S&Ws from what I remember have a stupid barrel twist, and are not HPT MPI.

A quick search will tell you the Colt 6920 is the golden standard and is worth the $ all day over the other 2.

The Smith's 1:8 Melonite barrel has proven it self to be very accurate over all. Smith's also have a life time warranty on their firearms. The bolt in my M&P 15 OR has "MP" stamped on it.

Buy the one with the Pony on the side.

You will not regret your purchase.

Colt. It is the standard. It is also the gun that will command the highest re-sale.

Colt will hold its value and it is a good Quality weapon to start out with

My department recently purchased about 150 S&W ARs. Of those, 3 had triggers that worked only some of the time and two of those had burrs in the chamber that would snag cleaning patches or shave brass off of cases.

Small sample size but enough to make me think twice about buying or recommending one.

Get the colt you will not regret it. With the colt you will have one of the best money can buy. Only a very few will recommend one of those over colt. They are the un informed.
