Colt
LMT
I'm not sure that I'm wholly persuaded by the arguments advanced thus far with respect to LMT being entirely equal -- or superior -- to the recognized benchmark (Colt), but clearly they are the industry leader when it comes to putting a solid spec rifle/carbine into civilian hands. (Obviously, they have made significant inroads with the MIL/LEO contract market as well.)
Colt has repeatedly demonstrated that their only enduring interest in participating in the civil AR market is through the most indirect of means. Call it a production limitation. Call it a concession to legal intimidation. Call it what you will. The point is that I couldn't have imagined a poll three or four years ago that would have put LMT within 30 percentage points of knocking off the Hartford original, and I think that speaks volumes about LMT's top-tier credibility.
Chief
Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here. -- Captain John Parker, Lexington, 1775.
