Best AR15 for less than $1k? Simple!

@MilitaryArms

What’s the story on CTD? I’ve not had any issues with them and I have been buying stuff here and there from them for many years. But I’m curious what the word on the street is.

I used to buy from them as well, they were a good company but I’d still consider someone who is industry friendly over them any day. To some it may be trivial, but here are the reasons I don’t shop at CTD anymore:

A.) Post election price gouging. Literally the same night Obama was elected Wolf 7.62x39 went up 30c more per round (to $10 a box). 75rd Drums were being sold for $300. Its important to note that Spikes did this as well. It may be water under the bridge, but capitalizing on fear to gun owners who have spent money and time fighting for 2nd Amendment rights to keep them in business in the first place really irks the hell out of me.

B.) Shipping. Order a $3 spring and see what your order total is. They refuse to use USPS and usually stick to Fedex which charges them upwards of $10 as a starting point. $15 is not uncommon for something that can be mailed for less than $1.50 by USPS.

C.) They’re really not “Cheaper than dirt”. Look around and you can find good deals elsewhere for way less. Ammo especially. $933 plus $8 shipping is a good deal on a 6920. I will give them that. But see Point A.

A 6720 can be had for a bit more, $979, from GT Distributors: http://gtdist.com/SearchResults.aspx?&Keyword=6720

Perhaps a better, more practical barrel for most.

I wish this deal was around when I bought my LE6920. I would have preferred the 6720’s barrel and BUIS. My carry handle sits in a box.

Wish it had a “F” height front sight base though.

That’s the sad thing…the ill informed believe this to be truth. I still see them at gun shows for $1400-$1600. I always check out the tag to see what they are going for just to have someone tell me ‘Yeah, you’re just paying for the name, these Bushmasters are just as good and they’re only $1200. It’s the only thing Delta uses.’ I vomit in my mouth every time I hear that statement, it’s like they all have it rehearsed…

sshhhh you might get an infraction for disrespect to an unoffiliated sme for that exact comment as I have in the past.

Nice video. But what the hell is up with the Mako groups comments.
You would think a firearms company would know better. :rolleyes:

Daniel Defense, Bravo Company, Colt, Stag, DPMS etc… For the most part, they are all the same. Stag is owned by CMT who makes for the Govt. They buy barrels from Mossberg. So does Colt, and DanDef. As far as I know, Bravo doesnt actually machine anything of their own. Until recently, lots of manufacturers were buying internal parts kits from Canada (C7 kits). Ive had the staked carrier bolts back out on my Colt while others shoot on. Point is… Its all the Same Thing

Use the yellow search button at the top of the page and search for the colt 6920. That will help you to see why they are recommended so much and are probably the best value for under 1k.

I asked a simple question. A question you’d think any gentleman would be more than willing to provide. Instead all I get is this:

@QuietShootr

Oh well, boys will be boys. I’m actually curious what movie that’s from.

[loganp0916]

Well, I’m on my iPhone and tapatalk wont let me see the full size image right now but it looks like Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) from Entourage.

@MistWolf

Servicesoon- Welcome to the forum. Didn’t you watch the video? They touch briefly why your paying for more than just a name.

Or did you simply sign up to troll the site & see how fast you can get banned? We do have that happen here.

If you sincerely wish to know the answer, read the stickies in each sub-forum and search the forum using the orange search button

I found nothing in the video that answers my question. It’s all marketing. With the exception of Colts history with the US gov, and failures therein, you could replace the words Colt with 90% of any other AR15 manufacturer.

I actually signed up to sell a rifle. Thanks for doing your part to help me achieve the necessary post to be able to sell on this forum.

That is from the TV show “Entourage”. Pretty darn funny at times.

I looked into it and that’s it. It’s a TV series, that’s why it didn’t look familiar. I’ve never had HBO, deprived I know. It’s a hilarious clip none-the-less. Thanks for solving the mystery.

Care to substantiate that? Let me guess, you’re going to sell some overpriced Colt to get a sweet DPMS Sportical?

Actually, no you got this

And this

@MistWolf

before you got that. And you didn’t do either or you would have received the answer you were looking for.

And now I see your post that says you were just here to sell a rifle. Try arfcom instead.

[servicesoon]

@GeorgiaBoy

Why people would buy a $800 DPMS or Bushmaster when you can get a BCM or even a Colt for $200 more blows my mind.

Ignorance is the root of all wasted money.

It’s all about utility. I know plenty of people who are very happy with their $800 AR’s. It fits their needs in the price range they can afford.

Now why somebody wouldn’t spend an extra $200 for a rifle to surpass mil-spec is beyond me See what I did there?

I expect your stay to be short.
Please reconsider, and use the site to gain knowledge instead.

Ever heard of the phrase…“pissed in your Wheaties”?

@Moltke

A new Colt 6920, $933? Wow.

Oh, servicesoon, read more before you post here. Things will be easier that way for everyone. If you go to the AR technical discussion forum there is quite a bit available, good information.

You mean the technical discussions that say 90% of AR’s are created equally based on a variety of objective technical aspects?

[servicesoon]

@Iraqgunz

Welcome to M4C.- I highly encourage you as a new member to read ALOT here before making a bunch of posts. Your first post is already very misguided.

My AR knowledge is a few years old. I can do better! Please give me a second, third, no fourth…forget about it.

[austinN4]

Looks like servicesoon has been disappeared.

[dakotalawdog]

Wow. I paid $1350 for a 6920 a few years back. I bought another one through my department a year and a half ago, and that was right around $900, so $945 is a smoking deal.

Colt has been the gold standard for a long time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Colt or BCM, over rifles twice the price.

[rsilvers]

I like Colt ARs and have a lot of them, but I cannot stand a 16 inch barrel with a carbine gas. Un-tolerable.

I would just spend more and get a KAC SR15-E3.
