I had always wanted a Colt until I got one....I kept it about 5 Days!! I just could not get over the crappy Machining...The worst I have ever seen on a AR it looked like the parts where beat with a hammer before the Anodizing was applied and the mag well looked like it was cut with a grinder...I am pretty sure it would function perfect Though...It is pretty bad when 40 dollar uppers and lowers from Anderson have better machining.. The good news I didn't lose a penny on the deal. crazy

I have 6 currently and 3 others I've owned and sold and never seen anything like that or heard of any like that. For the money, I don't think you can beat them for a hard use utility rifle.

I picked up a triple while they were on sale. I did get one dud from Georgia Gun that the upper receiver was already scratched up. I refused it and sent it back. The owner was acting kinda pissy about it, but saw and did the right thing in the end. I think he just really couldn't believe I was actually sending it back, while they were selling like hotcakes.

That surprises me too. Honest to goodness, there was a time when I could tell a Colt from 20 feet just by the finish. They were that much better looking than everything thing else.

Mine also is one of the best finished and fitting AR's I have. So far I have shot 2 mags through it, cleaned it, and put it away.

I looked at a 6721 yesterday. It had a very nice finish, I must have got a Monday or Friday built 6920. I am going to pick the 6721 up this afternoon.

My 10 year old Colts are still the cat's ass, as far as I'm concerned. Didn't see anything with the new ones I bought recently to make me think otherwise, either.

Agreed. The Colt rifles I owned in the mid-90s weren't nearly as nice as my current Colt rifles.

what do you consider "loose" upper to lower fit? If it moves a tad or if it rattles?
