Which M4A3?

Your best price is going to be with STAG/CMT. These guys make Colt, RRA, etc.

Check out the EE vendors on AR15.com for great prices. You can get a STAG M4A3 w/flip up sight for under $750 shipped to your FFL.

That is just flat out untrue. Colts are made using higher quality parts and are built closer to spec and go through a better QA process. This is fact, not opinion. Many of the qualities that make Colt AR higher quality are not always something you can visually see or functionally notice, especially for the weekend warrior or people who do not know what to look for.

I've heard that time and time again but haven't seen it to be true in my personal experience (which is relatively extensive) nor have any friends or acquaintances, many of whom buy Colt just for the name with no belief that they are inherently better.

Any proof of Colts being higher quality?
