You get a lot of rifle for the price! Now my Wilson Recon SR Tactical that's a totally different animal.
    The whole point is the test means jack shit unless its compared to other brands and there is a baseline.

    DD did what they set out to do, sell rifles to ignorant people and those incappable of critical thinking (not that DD are not great rifles, they are).

    ^ 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.
    The current Colt M4 heatshields are glued in on top of having the tabs inserted in to corresponding notches. Somewhat unlikely they would just pop out., but anything is possible.

    They do pop out of the notches.

    Just give a brand new M4 to a private and tell him not to mess with it. Joe will have it broke it minutes.

    Seems like people always say Colt isn't this or isnt that compared to others, yet the one thing Colt always does is go bang. Of course my comment is based on my research on Colts 1911s.

    Not sure what your referencing when you say it was "sloppy" as far as the AR is concerned?

    He most likley means play between the upper/lower, which has little to no bearing on the shootability of the rifle or accuracy.

    Please stop using generalized statements like colt always go bang. They don't, and in fact, their 1911's leave alot to be desired, especialy at that price point.

    Colt makes a good rifle. 10 years ago, they were one of the FEW companies that built a good rifle by today's standards. They like many in the industry, have rested on their laurals and have o advanced/innovated their designs as such. For the same money, you can build a much nicer rifle.

    A quick search reveals a pile of Colt 6920 Magpul Editions online for $1,065 shipped to your FFL.

    The one you linked a few pages back—the BCM midlength + BCM BCG + BCM CH + Fortis setup—was $974 shipped for just the upper.

    Where are you buying "better than Colt" quality complete lowers for $90 shipped?

    Your words, not mine.

    That isn't just popping out though.
