no one has said olympic yet so I will OLYMPIC
Ummmm....not interested. No Bushy, DPMS (although I do like the Prairie Panthers), Olympics or ASA. I'm really on the fence over those listed. Thanks for chiming in though.no one has said olympic yet so I will OLYMPIC

Not at all. Business practices are the reasons I'll not own SEVERAL brands (PSA included).meanmrmustard said:Hateraid? Haven't heard that one in years! I don't hate Colt rifles, I don't like how Colt conducts business. I'm sure that seems petty, but it is what it is.
Yeah, I read a lot of good things about DT. Actually, nothing negative thus far.
Just a plinker/farm rifle. I'm thinking a build is going to be best, based soley on what I'm getting for what I'm paying.What are you going to use the gun for?
You just missed out on PSA having 16" carbines with an aimpoint pro for $999. That was probably the best deal going.
Of your choices I would either get the PSA rifle or the PSA upper with BCM BCG. For under $1k you could also go with a BCM upper. What I would do would be based on A) what I was going to use it for B) what else I knew I for sure wanted. If one is going to add a different trigger, grip, hand guards, etc from what comes on a built rifle then getting an upper and assembling a lower with what you want might put you money ahead.
Could I drive there to see their rifles, or do they purely sell to dealers?My vote is on the Build rifle, the PSA I put together is amazing. Still no CMMG lol.
Just a plinker/farm rifle.
Yeah, it is. I incorporate that into the "farm use" category, but nobody would know that, so there that is. But, it doesn't matter. I'm getting a rifle that, after having been inspected to make sure it's all kosher, I won't have to sweat when it comes to a multi use, simple carbine. Truck gun is an AK. Plinker is an AK. I have SD pistols. I'm really just wanting a do-all carbine in 556. That being said, after checking to make sure it's built properly this time around, it's going to be a Colt.In the OP you also listed HD (home defense).
Is that no longer a use of the rifle?
Yeah, it is. I incorporate that into the "farm use" category, but nobody would know that, so there that is. But, it doesn't matter.

Not without some soul searching did I make this decision. It's not on my poll, wasn't even a consideration until this morning. But, like I said, I don't trust them. If the rifle is manufactured correctly (this time) ill buy it. I'll never need to call them, hopefully.Boom, called it.
Not really... but sort of.
6920.
Well, I see your point. But, you must understand that my farm IS my home. So, making things easier on myself, and ponying up a few hundred more overall, I'm going to buy the fiancées pistol and my new AR at the same time. I'd like another Sport, but they're getting harder to find locally. Colts round these parts are dime a dozen. So, barring a positive check for proper build quality, I'll be owning another 6920 in early Dec.I think a lot of people might recommend differently knowing that you intend to use the rifle in a potential life/death role rather than just plinking or varminting around the farm.
In other words...I think it does matter.
Unless you believe that any and every AR you could buy will have an identical reliability, durability, and consistency. Or unless you don't care if you buy a less-reliable HD gun to save a few bucks.
+1, agreedbuy a bcm middy upper decked out to suit your taste/needs, and install it on the lower of your choice, or just buy the sport and use the savings from the $1000 bill to buy ammo.
But crappy CS. That being said, I'm buying this rifle FTF so I can make sure it's copacetic. If so, it's coming home. I'll never need CS, and that doesn't hurt my feelings at all.A most excellent rifle!
I'm not adding any crap, no optics, rails, nothing. I'll be using the KIS principle,
The Colt, while not a Krebs Custom or SGL 101, is as close to a reliability as an AR is gonna get.
BCM isn't bad
I'm not 100% if they sell out of the store or not. I'm suppose to go down there later this month and take a tour (since our shop in waynesville is one of their dealers) The 6920 is a great gun, CHF CMMG barrels are made the same......just saying lol jk. I think you'll be happy with it, I've carried one (basically) for the last 8years and it hasn't let me down yet. My current units M4s are made by FN.Could I drive there to see their rifles, or do they purely sell to dealers?
^maybe not "crap" but rather useless items on my rifle. They will not be used.
