    Believe it now?

    No. I've seen this hyperbole for as long its been in print. I just find it amusing that you have the stomach to parrot it.

    Are you implying false advertising on Noveske's part?

    Not at all. I'm just sure that I'm not sure exactly what point Noveske is trying to make. Clear?

    Look for my little write up after my visit to SAW. I can guarantee that if they are being advertised a certain way you can take them to the bank. Any speculation otherwise is silly and false.

    I was most impressed at what I saw behind the scenes and I'll go so far as to say that his shop is without a doubt the premier Colt business.

    The answer to your 6933 question is this. In order to get them he has to buy them in very large quantities, that is why he doesn't carry them.

    You could of course order one from Clyde's armory and then wait for the dealer to dealer transfer to go through and then your Form 4.

    Or you could buy one of Ken's various short set ups. The amount of work they are putting them is top notch.

    The 6933 is cheaper but the MK18's SAW makes are an inch shorter so I have some decisions to make.
    I could afford a 6933 with an Omega rail or a SAW MK18 without a rail. My budget is roughly $1500-2000.

    It is clear to me based on your avatar, screen name, personal attacks and snarky attitude that you are a fan boy. My intention was to offer the OP some high quality alternatives to purchasing an 11.5” Colt as he clearly wants a 10.3 to 10.5” barrel; not argue semantics with you. I will not derail this thread any further arguing with you so feel free to have the last words. You seem to be good at that.

    Have a nice day.

    It amazes me sometimes to see some of the most knowledgeable and first class members get disrespected by some of the folks with the least amount to share among us.

    I figured that the die hard colt supporters long ago understood the position Colt currently has, and has had for the last 5 yrs or so in the market. It's best they stay in their own lane given their competitors' offerings....somebody might just inform them of some facts.

    Bottom line is that I trust very few opinions more than Buddy's, very few also will ever have the broad, un biased experience and knowledge base that he enjoys. Just like myself, Buddy owns a Colt or two and it's ridiculous that his original reply was pounced on by somebody w. a Colt avatar.

    Guys, I'm not sure if this is 10.3 or 11.5. I always remember my buddy referring to it as 10.3. Anyway it is TINY and is a blast to shoot.
