New Colt M4
I never knew but Colt has come out with an "Expanse" model AR. It has 1/7 twist 16inch heavy barrel, weighs 6.4lbs, great trigger and no dust cover/fwd assist. The parts to remedy this cost saving were $18.00
I was looking at AR556 Ruger, S&W and I saw the Colt next to them. I liked everything about the Colt, especially the trigger. The guy gave me LEO price, $660.00 and it followed me home. Pics to follow. Dumb name, nice rifle. |
Wait so it leaves the factory with no forward assist, but has the empty hole that the forward assist goes into? Usually without a FA or DC, the places to mount them are smooth and you can't put them on with parts.

I think he means a slick side upper.
Cool beans, can't wait to see it! |
Nope, it had the hole for the F.A. with a little plastic plug that said "Colt" pinned in place. Likewise, it had the mount for the dust cover in place. Best thing about being at a gun show, the next booth down had the dust cover and forward assist for 18 bucks, so the rifle cost 678.00

Sounds pretty cool.....and I do kinda like the name, for whatever reason.

Just bought one for $705 at a LGS. :D
It is seriously white box. No sights, one magazine, no forward assist, no ejection port cover. Hell, it even came in a plain brown box. ;) |
Sounds like Colt is selling them as "almost complete" to save the buyer some $ and be competitive in such a saturated marker as the AR15 market is? :confused:
|
I agree, but you can make 'em complete for 40 bucks or so and it's a Colt.
