I will say this though, i did like that a4 style rifle. However, it needs KAC rails!

No dicking with barrels, gas ports, buffer guessing etc, just an immediate SBR-able rifle that is absolutely going to work. The next time someone asks me about a first SBR this will almost certainly be my recommnadtion. And not for nothing but at least it's usable in the time you are waiting for the stamp (no visiting at dealer, no pistol lower BS).

Why would you do that instead of just buying a 6933?

I'm ready to debate you into oblivion because you have no clue what you are talking about.

Colt 6933s are going for $1150 to $1300 now. How is that going to be any cheaper than removing a permanent flash hider and having your lower engraved?

Those were exactly my thoughts after seeing it!

ScottR,

Does anyone know who is advising Colt with these new projects?

It is almost like they took market studies, and then assigned the projects to people who weren't in tune with the market, or what retro weapon appeal was actually for.

I think some of these will have a very short life span for Colt.
