LMMFAO, Bartochi was the janitor there, no engineer.

This thread might not get locked up if you guys would stick to facts.

One more FACT in before it gets locked then.

His wife is all the time sending out emails begging for money, I got one from her 2 days after they returned from a European vacation lol.

Hey guys! We need your help. SAS is in need of donations for November. Our operating costs are through the roof and donations have been going down and down every month. If you can donate a couple of bucks to help us get through this rough patch, we would appreciate it.

I guess traveling to Europe is a "rough patch" of a month lol.

Yet CMT (Continental Machine Tool) not CMT / Cross machine Tool was subbed much of the parts on the older Colts.

I wish people would understand it isn't a matter of subbing parts out that make something bad, its subbing out parts and letting bad parts make it through QC which is bad. End quality is end quality, no matter if it comes from from Santa or your own CNC,

Some of us do understand.

My Green Mountain barrels from back when Colt used them are GTG...

Yes, they were a bona-fide contractor for M16 parts, kind of like Rock Island Arsenal was too at one time.

Do you think the cr6920’s are good to go? In terms of functionality compared to the older models.

[Caballo]

So to be clear, an actual Colt employee who was responsible for engineering and design changes on M4’s…is lying? Or is it you don’t like what he is pointing out and it’s an inconvenient truth. At least watch it, it’s not like he is bias one way or another. He literally take a 6920 from the M4 era and the current ones and compared them. It’s very easy to understand and follow, well worth the watch.

So from the video, he states he has nothing to comment on the actual functionality of the carbines, and assumes they function the same as the LE series. What do you make of this?

I don’t want to be the test bed. I came to like and trust Colt because a LE6920 went through the same testing and used same components as M4. Clearly that wasn’t profitable anymore and subcontracting started. Could they be just as good? Maybe. Do I want to take that gamble? Nope. I’d much rather jump in AFTER these new rifles/components have been put through the ringer and everyone has some empirical data on performance.

One thing is for sure, the Colt today ain't what it used to be
