    Who said he will sell it? Why not buy the Colt, and then when he wants something else, buy something else. Most people with the BRD, have more than a few rifles/carbines.

    This ^ , I'm pretty sure the Colt or whatever I buy now won't be the last. Hell, I'm a total newb with guns in general. I started with handguns about 6 months ago and already have an FNX45, FNS9 and a Mossy 500 12 gauge. Im now dying to buy my 1st 1911 after shooting one recently. I've been bitten for sure.


    I think they are ****ing, because everytime I open the safes, there seem to be more appearing out of everywhere.

    Lmao!

    Want the best advice you will ever get? Buy a ton of lowers, like 10-20, and stack them away. Then build them up as your hearts content. No one ever said to themselves "Shit I think I have too many AR's".

    I am on your side with this, I was referring to the individual I quoted that if I read correctly said the individual would take a loss selling the Colt down the road or upgrading it, personally I think buying the Colt and upgrading to personal needs or preference is the way to go. I do not like selling anything I have which again I agree with, just buy another.

    I think the advice you gave is prob the best I have heard today and also the funniest. I wish my lowers had that issues, maybe yours and mine should meet.

    As far as me talking about what the cool kids like, it's true. It was Aimpoints and magnifiers, then rails, then rails with 1-4x scopes, now it's back to basics with MOE or M4 handguards, A2 sights. Meanwhile the Colt is still the standard. BUT get what you want. I agree some of the other high end/boutique guns are nice. I've been considering going to a piston upper myself so I'm not too much of a curmudgeon.
    I really do not see any factual, true information or even a first hand experience. What is proven factual and true to me is my Daniel Defense, same with my Rainier. I don't worry about what the cool kids do but when I use something and it works and proves dependable that makes me smart, IMO thats an educated decision, and I guess to some that may be cool. I know at any point it could have a hiccup and or failure but at that point is where the operator comes in and your only as good as your training.

    Bottom line keeping on track, both manufactures Colt and DD are GTG, I have a DD and shot a Colt. Both have proven track records and if you look hard enough both can be found for good prices. I guarantee though once you get your first complete your next will be a build and then another and another. I haven't stopped since I started and I have no plans to.

    Re: Dollar for Dollar, Colt vs DD

    The trends and fads in the AR world are what I stated. Same with some trends coming full circle. It is fact. Not trashing DD. They are good guns. They are fancy good guns and that's OK.

    I handled one at a gun show recently and was impressed by the quality and features for the price.

    I get what you are saying although I feel that if thats what we are looking at that there are some other manufactures some individuals flock to first, hell some of the hype is what gets me to buy, of course that is after I do my own research. For example I am eyeing a KAC, my wife hates me for it but just like others I have been bitten by the bug

    Of the two choices listed I'd go with the Colt. The only other AR I'd buy is BCM. My first AR was a Colt back in the early 80s and the only other ARs I've bought are BCM.

    Means jack shit without a comparison of how it stacks up vs. everyone else.

    I can tell you, I can make a DD stop running with 1 hit. Funny how durring all that shit, the RE never bent/broke/or was in a possition too.

    Want to stop a rifle from firing? Bend the RE and you got a single shot rifle.

    DD is no "tougher" or reliable than any of the other, properly made and built rifles.
    The whole point of the show was to show the viewer the quality of the DD. Don't think it was meant to compare it to other manufacturers. What was amazing was they ran 1000 rounds full auto straight until the last round and compared the accuracy before and after the test! The moa didn't really change if at all. You get a lot of rifle for the price! Now my Wilson Recon SR Tactical that's a totally different animal.

    I'm a huge fan of DD. I think both Colt and DD guns are top notch, but I think that Colt's carbine gas system with a FSP is too restrictive for what I prefer to shoot.

    Some guy brought into the gun shop a 6920 that he allegedly bought at Walmart. The heat shields fell out of the hand guards where they had been glued in.
    ^ this isn't going to have much weight around here, because (A.)There was no proof those were put on originally by colt before he walked into the shop, and (B.) it sounds like another "I heard this at the gun shop story"

    What I'm saying here is inspect the HG if possible, and/or possibly plan on buying replacment HGs. As far as I know, Colt still makes a good AR. I'm just offering a word of caution.
