    This screams of a company that is entrenched in it's own reputation and has no clue what is going on in the greater world. Colt needs to hire some young talent.

    What is the issue with that? How are m4 feed ramps inferior?

    So, no mid-lengths again this year, but a bunch of goofy models with no real target audience?

    Guess I'll check back again in 2014.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. If it had the CAR stock on it, it would be pretty neat.

    I believe there are really two distinct groups you can pursue with new products in this industry - those who know specifically what they're looking for, and those who just buy something that appeals to them for some non-functional reason. It looks like Colt has invested more in the latter this time around, but a quick look at places like BARF and the local range suggests there may be a larger volume of potential sales in that market. At the end of the day, they are a business, like it or not.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    I agree that it would be cool if they made the old plastic CAR stocks again.

    2. No dealer transfer fee.

    3. Not an NFA item so while debating or waiting on stamp you are free to treat it as any other gun. Including purchase this inside a non-SBR state with intention to one day move.

    4. No waiting to shoot it. You can get the "Commando" model in, run it, see if you want to SBR and keep it. There is a "trial" period that does not exist with other SBRs. During this time you can see if it'll run your preferred ammo, accuracy, function, fits your style etc etc

    5. I suppose there will be some people who buy it with the intention of removing that flash hider in a SHTF scenario where it would no longer be illegal to do so.

    The downside is it'll need to be engraved with your info vs being a factory SBR. IMO, well worth it to some people. It's not perfect for everyone, but we've all seen those "So I'm thinking of getting an SBR" posts where a ton of people end up with everything from a Spikes 7.5" to a NoName 14.5 middy that doesn't run well. This is one-step away from being a 6933 that you can buy and have in your hands today.
    The slightly higher price of the 6933 will be seen when you send your lower off to be engraved and have the long flash hider removed. That is a wash.

    You also have to account for the devalue of the barrel since it is left with a dimple where the pin and weld used to be. You would be lucky to get $175 for it, where real Colt 11.5" barrels go for $400 street price.
