The Colt and the RRA may be similarly priced, but dollar for dollar they are not equivalent. Since the original topic was about Rock River, I can only describe my thought process when I bought my Rock River. I paid 1000, and for a few dollars more I could have bought a Colt. But the Colt would not have had a free-float hand guard, or a fold down front sight gas block, or a real nice trigger. It would not have shot a 1 MOA group on the first trip to the range. To get all these features, I would have had to spend another 500 adding parts to it. And even then, with the standard barrel, I still might not have a 1 moa rifle.
With the Colt you get basically the same weapon that is currently procurred by the DOD, nothing more, nothing less. This pedigree does not confer some kind of magic durability properties which are absent in other ARs.
