    Welcome to the AR world !! You have probably found out by now why it is the most popular rifle in America- it combines a lot of features that no other rifle has

    Now definately get quality training - sooner rather than later. You cannot imagine right now the benefits this will have for you down the road in your ability to effectively use your weapons and accessorize them

    Best of luck

    Sometimes I fear we get too wrapped up in 'bragging rights', and it is a particularly insidious thing when the objects we're debating are so physically similar. This isn't a 'Ford vs Chevy' thing; it's more like a 'Ford made at one plant' vs 'Ford made at another'.
    Gotta tell you that I wouldn't be too embarrassed to take a carbine course with either gun, nor to go in harms way with either.
    Let's not sweat the small stuff; let's worry about being able to legally buy and own such things.

    Our problem is we live in a small town with nothing around....we live in the 71301 zip if anyone knows of something.

    First read this thread: Be an informed consumer!

    Then read the threads on the following list: AR Technical Discussion FAQ/Knowledge Base Threads

    The basic rundown of what makes Colt better is that they use higher quality steel in their bolts, carriers, and barrels; high pressure test and perform magnetic particle inspection per milspec on their bolts and barrels; and finally aside from FN, Colt is the only company to possess the Technical Data Package for the M4/M16 Rifle making them the only true milspec company that sells commercially.

    The only thing that the Colt has over the Sig is that the Colt has a M16 bolt carrier group. Some would argue as to wether or not it is really considered an upgrade. I don't see anything wrong with running an AR15 bolt carrier.

    I don't want to get into a discussion over the merits of a M16 BCG, I am only saying that it wouldn't stop me from purchasing a rifle with an AR15 group.

    M400's are a fine rifle.

    Now that is interesting. You're saying Sig uses the half-circle carrier, or part of the rear of the carrier milled away?
    Oddly, Colt did the half circle carriers at one time, when they were waaaaay too worried about someone trying to make a full auto.

    Thanks much. Not that I was too concerned before, but a BCG, buffer and spring aren't a big deal to swap out. I was really only wondering about the barrel material.

    Definitely don't regret picking up the M400E, especially at the price I paid. A mere $870, before tax, for NIB.

Thanx for all replies.

    Sig Sauer RM400-16B-C

    Colt LE6920 (on this one I have read about a "walmart edition", mine has a white label not the blue if that means anything)

    Sig Sauer RM400-16B-EC-FDE


    Thank You
    Nice little arsenal there. You should post some pics.

    The only thing that makes colt better than sig is there exp. in producing said rifle. The follow a list of requirements as posted on some chart some where on this and other sites.

    The only thing that can make onre of the three rifles you have #1 is shoot them. Like a car or any other gadget we own we learn which would never let us down (or least chance of..) and that will be your go to rifle. Colt being around so long the chances that it will be the most dependable is high.

    I have a nice selection of coltss, and such, and my never let me down rifle is a PSA Middie on a Rock River lower, Go figure.
