Unbelievable. The same people who scream in every other thread that piston systems shouldn't be utilized in the AR-15, that it wasn't designed to take operating systems outside of the Stoner architecture, and/or that piston guns offer up nothing over DI guns...
...are now saying they'll buy one of these and are excited to have it? All based on some pictures? Glad we're consistent in our opinions and objectively evaluate what's presented to us. I'm sure everyone oggling over this would still love it if "Colt" weren't in front of the model designation, right?
On that note, I'd be anxious to see a torture test of this gun. I don't like how many parts go into the op-rod assembly, nor that pins are required for system take down. On its face, it doesn't seem to offer anything over the piston systems currently available on the market, especially at $1700-2950.
I'd be happy to change my tune pending some T&E, though. I like my DI Colts, and I could be wrong. For now, I'll stick with my 6920s/M6s.
