NEWS FLASH gentlemen,
NOT everyone beats up their AR, and not everyone wants one that is already blem'd when they buy it! Even guys who DO beat up their AR's, sometimes want their new AR's to be nice and blem free.
Some guys want the blems on their AR's to be there ONLY because THEY put them there. NOT because Colt was too lazy to handle the receivers properly! Damn that's so simple to comprehend, I just cannot fathom some of the statements here.
I'll say it again for those who are slow to comprehend. The BOTTOM LINE is that everyone who buys a freaking framing hammer IS GOING TO BEAT IT UP AND BLEM IT. (and btw, I happen to own a contracting business, and I can go inside Home Depot and the majority of the hammers in there are NOT all blem'd up. They are nice and polished and have NO dents/dings/stratches on them.) I have more experience with hammers than most unfortunately LOL!
HOWEVER (this is a big however now, so proceed carefully gentlemen), NOT EVERYONE is going to beat up their new AR, and many people do NOT want a blem'd up AR from the beginning.
PERIOD. Potential AR buyers SHOULD be able to buy a Colt, sight unseen, and be guaranteed a good chance at a nice BLEM FREE AR. PERIOD.
Now you can argue all you want that people should already know that Colts are often blem'd up, and that is of course true, and fine. HOWEVER, we are not debating whether or not someone should know this already. We are debating whether or not Colt should ship blem'd AR's in the first place.
