Colt OEM Rifles

[Spurholder]

Looks like Colt's going to follow BCM's model for rifle sales.  Stripped rifles - you add your components.

 

Heck, I wish this was an option back when I bought mine. 

 

For a street price of around $725-ish...it'll sell.

Capitalism reigns supreme. If you keep the cost down, you'll sell more. The more guns that are sold, the more guns that are purchased by citizens. The more guns in the hands of citizens, the more likely that pro-gun voters press for pro-gun legislation. 

 

With more guns in the hands of citizens, the more burglary and robbery becomes a hazardous occupation amongst the lower classes, and then, the more burglary and robbery amongst the political "ruling class," becomes a hazardous occupation, and we get our country back.

I wish they'd had those when I got my 6920.

It went from this:

I don't understand why all the big names don't do this.  Slapping on some relatively inexpensive stocks, grips and forearms seems lame.

Customize em from the get go. A formula that has worked for BCM for forever.

Does the front sight appear in the scope?  That would bug me.

Starting at about 2.5x,  no.

No. This is on 4x.



The M223 BDC 600 is a 4-16x that I have on it now.

Even at 16x, I don't see the front sight. I did take my index finger and place it on the front sight at 16x and still couldn't see my finger. It more or less made it a bit less clear and bright.

The front A2 sight is about 3.5-4in from the end of the scope. To test for yourself, get a black pen or something and hold it dead center to the scope, you might have similar results.

I do plan to remove the A2 and replace it with a low rise has block.

Lower magnification is where it can show, not higher. All due to optical qualities of light gathering/refraction, minimum focus distance, and depth of field.

Lower magnification is where it can show, not higher. All due to sorcery and witchcraft.
