Omfg, are you guys serious?
Hi XXX,
All BCM® components are made to explicit milspec per TDP. Buffer tubes are made from 7075 forgings.
Please do not hesitate to email is with any additional questions.
Wow the Colt AR15A4s are going for nutso prices on GB right now. I don't think its related to "panic buying" because 6920s are still all over the place at normal prices.
The problem lies in the fact that Colt released only a few AR15 A4s to the market with their last batch, and now we're in the long drought between batches which is typical of how Colt operates. I used to follow prices of their 1911s, and whenever there was a dry spell in between batches of Series 70 repros being released the ones available on Gunbroker climbed higher and higher in price. The GB sellers know that if they catch buyers at low tide they can get more for their guns. Your only choice is to either pay their asking price or keep your fingers crossed that Colt will release a new batch of rifles before too long. I would love to have a new AR15A4, but if I have to wait much longer I'm just going to get a Windham instead.
To be fair 20" A4 type rifles are easier to get right than a carbine.
Lots of the "chart" elements everyone uses to compare carbine vs carbine are not applicable to a 20" Gov't type clone.
I don't know anything about Wyndham other than its some ex-Bushmaster employees that bailed after the Cerberus takeover since they tend to run everything they touch into the ground but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find a nice 20" or build one that wasn't pure Colt/BCM.

I see g&R tactical even has a Colt on the first responder discount list, which I qualify for, at a great price. Like just about everywhere else not in stock currently.
Colt could really be making a killing if the actually produced and distributed items they advertise better.
Looks like my choices are:
FN at roughly $1600, available now
Colt at scalpers price now, ( since the difference in price is only a few hundred, at that point might as well get the FN)
Colt back order, not knowing how long for product to show up
What would you do?
