    Here's my speculation: this rifle is designed to sell in big volumes through "big box" stores. Corporate buyers at Walmart, Dicks, and the others have surely demanded a sub-$1,000 Colt and this may well be it.

    This gets Colt some play in (by far) the biggest segment of the AR market (sub-$1000) and launching a new low-priced SKU protects the traditional Colt dealers who are complaining about Colt offering the 6920 through Walmart. Looks like this will be differentiated enough to be non-chart compliant, protecting the 6920's sales, while appealing heavily to the competition market and dirt-clod shooter.

    Again, complete speculation.

    This isn't an illegal gun, it's an "undocumented protection device". Don't be so insensitive.

    I don't think Grant has an opinion just yet, but if it like the SPORT, I think it will be a success.

    Colt took my order today and I should have more details (price, pics, specs, etc) by next week.

    I've seen it pop up on a couple more dealer sites (placeholders only, not for sale), but with no photos and no more information than we already know.

    Definitely want to see some photos, hopefully Colt doesn't lower themselves too much for this price point. Companies risk significant PR hits when they put out inferior products.
