    Yeah, that was going to my question rob, as in exactly how much better does the "M4" roll mark perform?

    What with all of the deer, snakes, bears, eagles, spiders, etc. on lowers out there, I think that rollmark is a step in the right direction for Colt commercial sales and I bought one because I think highly of Colt rifles and I shied away from the LEO marking.

    This rifle won't be used for HD; there are better choices for that purpose IMO. But, if I do need to use a firearm for self-defense, I would prefer that it say something like "Sporter" (or nothing at all) instead of "Restricted", "Tactical", "Zombie Killer", etc.

    Consider that, in the civil suit that would surely follow, the lawyers would have a field day with trying to prove to the jury your state of mind and intent and I will not give them anything to work with that could be twisted for, or misunderstood by, a jury. It might seem like a silly thing, but I have seen many strange and silly things. Of course, this is all just my humble opinion.

    I do agree. I like the roll mark.

    I'm still looking for a case where the writing on the lower played a part.

    we all know about the Ruger 556 incident with bikers, the HK employee, etc. so let's skip that one and at the very least acknowledge that it's old. and Harry Beckwith shot a man with an M16 and held down the rest of his posse with a S&W 9mm subgun so at the very least type of arm has caselaw in both directions.

    I was not aware of this incident. Tried to search and came up with nothing. Do you have a link? Thanks.

    Also I love the new roll marks, personally I've never been fond of the LE markings because I am not LE, and don't pretend to be such.

    Edit: can you PM me as to not derail the OPs thread, thanks.

    WADR, I'm not worried about criminal charges. I am concerned about the ambulance chasers that know every trick in the book for separating you from your future quality of life.

    Same question applies. Civil or criminal.

    I understand his concern. While there may not be a ton of cases out there to reference, many people don't want to BE that case. Being the test case is never good. Personally, I don't care what my roll mark says.

    I like the new roll mark. If only that it's "normal". For lack of a better vocabulary.

    I can also sit around worrying that the international space station will fall out of the sky and whack me in the head. Finding things to be concerned about with no evidence that they are even remotely possible is kind of nuts IMO.

    I think we'd all agree that lawyers are going to hammer any angle that will further their case. This is why I won't buy any "zombie killer", "Punisher", or that kind of crap for a weapon that might be used for self defense.
    Another example is my wife gave me a sign that stated something like "This house protected by 15 rounds of 9mm" as a gag gift for Christmas. It now resides in my dads shop. I passed on the opportunity to have "gun stuff" up in our house because as I told her, if I ever did have to shoot someone, wouldn't that sign make me look like a gun nut with an itchy trigger finger?
    Overkill is underrated, especially when lawyers are involved.
