    $879 for my Colt LE6920MP-B from GaG appealed to me:

    This.

    Plus, when someone says "Colt", they basically mean the 6920, and a few off-shoots of it.

    With BCM you have an incredible array of different configurations to choose from. And BCM's mid-length gas system, coupled with their Gunfighter comp, produces a very soft shooting AR. So you can get a BCM lower, and then order whatever choice you make from their dozens and dozens of offered uppers. So, there's really no "a BCM" like there is "a 6920", there's tons of different configurations available from BCM.

    And you can also simply buy one of BCM's complete carbines, although they're more expensive than a base 6920.

    I don't suggest Colts, mainly because they have FSPs and carbine-length gas systems. Those two things kill any interest I would have in a Colt.

    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC) Power should only be given to those that want it least.

    BCM, LMT, and Colt are definitely my 3 top choices for ARs (non precision builds). I really see these three brands as pretty much on par with one another in terms of durability and reliability. Lately, with the whole free BCG deal, I have leaned toward hammer forged BCMs. My "go to" rifle is a BCM 11.5 on a Colt lower . Colt has a few obscure choices but if you are interested in SBRs or midlength gas systems, you are going to be out of luck and LMT has its MRP (which I personally think is an awesome rifle) and then standard carbines and that's it.

    As previously mentioned, BCM can get a lot of feedback from the guys that they sponsor. Although Colt has a lot of rifles in heavy use in the military, the government bureaucracy probably doesn't help when it comes to getting reliable feedback considering these are the guys who get an almost 300% discrepancy in stoppages from one test to the next.
