First AR 15 Sig m400 or Colt?

[Kain]

Hey everybody happy 4th of july!=)& yeah i was looking at a bcm build as well,Get a 16 inch socom upper with a palmetto lower. But for my ar 15 i am looking for a 16 inch(carbine) with medium to heavier profile barrel with a rail system or magpul,so i can put a light on it.

Why a medium to heavy profile? If your engagement range is less than 300 meters/yards and you aren't building a DMR then you are adding weight where none is needed. Truth, if it wasn't for the fact that I have a BCM upper with a gov profile barrel that is scary accurate(Seriously, a BFH with the right ammo is more accurate than I am and I ain't a bad shot. it is why my second BCM upper was BFH as well and that I swear prints everything from 55gr-75gr within the margin of shooter out to 200) with the right ammo I'd off load it and pick up a LW or even an ELW upper to replace it at my HD rifle.

Of the two, Colt by a wide margin.

Look at BCM and Sionics as well if you want to widen your range of choices.

I agree with those who have said not to limit your choices to the two mentioned - however, of the two, Colt is definitely the best choice.

Also look at Grant's AR6720, great lightweight riffle at a very good price.

If you can only afford those two then buy the Colt. If you can wait and save a bit more buy a Sionics or BCM. Right now Colt 6920s can be had for under 850 shipped retail if you look. You can also buy a Colt 6720 from G & R Tactical for $799. either Colt will be better than a Sig. Sorry if someone already mentioned this. I didn't read every post.

I'm going to agree with some of the others. Between the two I would go Colt. That said for me any 14.5-16" gun that isn't going to be a precision gun would have a lighter profile barrel.

Having purchased a Sig Rifle with issues and dealt with their Customer Service or lack there of, I would surely look at as many options as possible, but avoid Sig.

I have both, and although I've had no problems with either, I'd go Colt.

Colt.... Ironically though didn't 1 of colts big wigs recently hire on at Sig?
