    I agree. There were a lot of times watching that vid where I thought 'oh, that might be nice...' and it would turn in to '...except for that.' As-is, the A4 was the only one I could see myself considering.

    11.5" with an extended flash hider? Really? That went out of style 20 years ago.
    There's a lot of silly shit coming from Colt these days.

    It's like ARFcom took over the decision making at Colt.

    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.
    Wow, I really had no idea what I was talking about and you sure did debate me into oblivion...

    I did my engraving at a local trophy shop for $15, and I wouldn't send the barrel off to have that weld removed, that's a pretty simple task. I see your points but I think the LECAR is still a fine option if you aren't framiliar with SBRs, want the gun one now, or don't plan on selling the parts.

    It's not the best option for a purist, but it is absolutely functionally acceptable for most people. ESP the ones that have no SBR experience and have no access to test/try one before getting into NFA. It's not even a great option for me, I just won't sit here and shit on Colt because they made some choices designed around selling guns to other people's interests.

    I applaud your ability to at least see that the thing should be removed.

    But I don't agree with Colt producing a config that Bushmaster was running 10 years ago.

    I doubt they're targeting guys like you who know to remove the thing... they're going after the imbecile market. Not a good sign.

    Exactly, they are trying to grab a larger slice of the market. Even John Deere sold the farm and sells cheap manufactured tractors at box stores.

    I really like the A4, but are the M4 feedramps necessary? I had a different brand A4 with rifle cuts, never had an issue, damn I miss that rifle, I need to get another A4.

    If that happened, we'd see AR's with names that sound like bad Kung-Fu movies or rejected James Bond enemies.

    Colt keeps going with the magpul mbus.

    The Colt 901 I saw the other day had Colt branded Troy sights.

    Your guns is devalued around $500 after you engrave your lower and remove the flash hider.

    Yup, just like Noveske, Larue, and BCM.
