    First AR 15 Sig m400 or Colt?

    Hey i have been looking at the Sig M400 swat & the Colt le6920 magpul or socom.I have shot both & like them both.I like the lower on the Sig & fit.Does the Sig or Colt have any problems running steel cased ammo?& does the semi profile bolt carrier in the sig make that big of a difference in reliability?

    I own a Sig M400 Enhanced in OD green. I really like the firearm but there have been a few issues with some of the M400s out there. I have experienced no issues with mine. I bought it during one of the proposed bans and at that time it was more about finding something that was available rather than finding what was the top tier stuff. I traded in an AK that was drastically overvalued for an AR that was a little higher price than normal. For the times, I bought it at a good price, at today's prices I paid an extra $100 but got twice what I paid for the AK so I have no regrets.

    If I had to make the decision today I would buy the Colt and be happy.

    Since you are limiting your choice those two, stay with the Colt. Having said that this is a BUYER'S market and there are a lot of good options available.

    Don't waste money on the sig. Get the Colt 6920.

    Why are you limited to only these 2 options? Take a look at BCM and Sionics as well.

    Knowing some of the issues those who's opinions I trust have have seen or had with Sig, go with Colt. Or BCM, LMT, DD, or other quality brands that are going to be a foci on this site. Sig ain't one of them thought.

    Yes, there is NO Ban that will happen tomorrow. Take your time, read some older threads, figure out what you really want / need in your rifle and most importantly HAVE FUN buying your new rifle.

    both were too heavy for my weak arms....I choose BCM...wish "the spreadsheet" for all manufacturer was a pinned subject so you can compare the features and CS you get from each manufacturer.
