It has been my experience in the last 12-18 months to encounter poor quality Colts. The fit and finish has not been commensurate with the price.
If you compare a Colt AR-15 with a Bushmaster AR-15, I think you will prefer the Bushmaster. Also, Bushmaster AR's can be ordered in any of their many configurations without complaint. Try that with Colt without going through Colt's Custom Shop (with the custom price tag). JMO

May your lead always hit center mass and your brass always land in your range bag.
