SW MP15 or Colt M4 Carbine?

[bug]

this is why i bought the S&W. plus the price difference.
i noticed on brownells site that some of the colt parts are non-standard. (rear takedown pin & pivot pin)
though adapters are readily available (sleeves and such).
check it out.

don't think you can go wrong with either. my m&p left me plenty of extra cash for mags and ammo, my #1 priority at this point.
optics, lights and the rest will always be available. ban or no ban.

That's not quite correct. The new Colt's (6920, 6940 etc) use standard sized takedown pins. The fire control pins are the 0.170' size on all but the 6940 but Colt is phasing that out too on the newest production guns. Bolt groups are standard M16.

one of our CMP-PP shooters at PMSC this Sunday said he picked up a NEW Colt LE6920 (had it with him at the shoot) at ACE in Washington PA for $1290 just the other day.

At that I price I would have bought one too.

Now that's a reasonable price!

The panic might be slowing down, I also just bought a 6920 for $1315

i stand corrected. perhaps the brownells video is not as timely as i thought.
however it is still a valid issue with regards to colt ar's of older production runs.
whether any of those are on store shelves is pretty doubtful though.

thanks for the info.

Those pins are for Colt Commercial guns, not Colt Defense guns. The Colt's everyone wants are the Colt Defense guns.

The Commercial Colts are not setup with the features the discerning customer is looking for.

I'm with you guys. I'll buy a 6-pack at that price. My ass still hurts from the one I just bought on GB

Great info... shame they don't have them online yet (and that mine is already in transit).
