    or are you talking about the 203 notch? you got a grenade launcher???
    Canada and the SAS have been using 16" Carbine's for a long time now.

    Finally, my first AR

    Well I appreciate everyone's input and realize the DD is a great rifle but for now I decided Colt was going to be my 1st. I bought it today, with tax it was just under $1100. I decided to save some money and buy ammo and training if its available where I live.

    I have a lot to learn about the platform in general. After I become familiar with it then I might have a better feel for exactly what I want in my next rifle. Maybe then ill be ready for a DD.

    I look forward to heating this thing up, thanks again!

    The Colt will do you well. With what you saved you can shoot it and find out what you realy want. I've got boxes of gun stuff that I needed wanted or been issued. Mainly the latter... stupid 3 point slings (IMHO) and foward grips (issued) come to mind. Later down the road you can get or build a complete upper how you want. I'll agree with the dislike for 203 cut out on barrels..
    FYI one of my buddies got a DD and was selling it a week later decided on different model

    OVER RATED according to who ? IMHO, Colt, DD, BCM are pretty much equal in the areas that matter most, like reliability and durability. Just get one of the above brands which is your preference and add the accessories of your choice. I also suspect that even though LAV may not be affiliated with DD anymore as a consultant, he still feels exactly the same way about DD rifles as he did when he made the following vids :

    If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation

    You can easily sell the aim point to fund the eotech.

    My cousin was in a similar fix. Either DD or 6920, he saw grants free aimpoint deal with the DD and ordered today! Win win situation.
