    For the price they are asking you can have a Colt with the highest of high grade accessories.

    Well, we can criticize the guy's decision all day here or talk about the rifle.

    nice write up & pics.

    Im happy the owner is pleased with his rifle...



    I have the feeling half the members of this forum could have made a better rifle for half the price in their garage

    I really don't understand what the supposed purpose of this "feature" is...I don't know why it wouldn't be preferable to a.) use a low profile gas block and a handguard that extends over it or b.) use a FSB.

    It's one and the same.

    The decision he made was to overpay for the rifle.

    Robb,

    I saw one at Scottsdale Gun Club back in October and the price tag was over 2100.00! I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself. My Noveske 16.1 Recon upper cost me less even after I added a Magpul UBR. I wouldn't buy one.

    UPDATE: The rifle I saw was an Urban Interdiction Rifle (was also touted as sub MOA at 300 I believe) and it was 2595.00!

    Any chance you can share with us how much he paid?

    i agree with most everything you said in this thread, scott.


    except, it does has a GA SSA trigger...that's certainly a quality component.


    other than that...yeah, i don't really understand this rifle. it makes the MPL N4 limited edition rifles seem like a hell of a steal at only $3k tho.


    and railed gas blocks? who needs them? either go low profile under the handguards or go with a standard FSB.
