    Again, this was not obvious until I very carefully inspected it. This shouldn't turn into a Colt bashing thread.

    I once read that Colt produces 4,000 rifles a month for the US military. That's only >200 a day and the picture showed stuff piled carelessly everywhere - just thrown around. Well 200 a day is nothing and if they can't take the time to care for military orders, they won't care about civilian orders. I avoid Colt - there are other manufacturers that do a much better job. How else do you explain Colt going bankrupt 4 times?

    They actually produce more than that per month and from what I have read have the capacity for 50,000 per month.

    This is also not an easily found thing, if you were just looking it over it would appear fine, that is until you pick at it and it falls off. Colt's "stacking thigs carelessly" as you say is actually fine, people who buy Colt dont mind a small ding here and there, but hey I hear DPMS has great fit and finish, good luck getting a bolt to last 5,000 rounds. Also colt has filed chapter 11 only once from what I can find, that was in 1992.

    Eta: before you call me a fanboy, the only Colt product I own is their copper extractor springs.

    Complete bullshit! You are an idiot of the first order. You might want to factcheck yourself before making another appearance on this forum.

    Send it to Colt and contact the manager (Brent) right after. If you get him involved, you will get the rifle back quick.

    Brent is one heck of a guy and a pleasure to deal with.
