Bought my first ever Colt rifle...

[TreyG-20]

and broke my Gunbroker rule all at the same time. Ouch.

 

[zackmars]

Excellent choice, i love mine. You have the best, most proven AR15 barrel ever made

Is that a carbine?
Looks like a carbine.

Nice!

Iconic! Congrats, I love mine.

 

[TipBledsoe]

Dang it! You had me all excited thinking I was going to see a fine looking Colt Lightening.

So which ACOG for full blown larping? Or is there something better now? Range from 25-500 yards is the intended use. I'm not interested in an LPVO though. I have those on other rifles already.

Depends on the pronunciation. Car-bean or Car- bine?

TA31 of you want as close to issue as possible.

The TA11 however is a very good general purpose fixed power, you loose .5x magnification, and the optic is overall bigger, but the eye relief is much more forgiving.

Only airsofters, videogamers and Europeans say Car-bine

10-4 was looking at the TA31. I'll take a look at the TA11. Which reticle do you prefer?

I like the green chevron. I've never been able to get it to wash out and i find it to be extremely accurate, and fast up close.

This was with a regular 6920, not the SOCOM

The matech sight is neat, but I'd recommend This to make sure you can actually use it

Congrats! You won't regret the purchase. Might want to slide in a RAVE 140 trigger though. Best value out there IMO.

Trigger will be the first thing after an optic. I'm fond of the Larue triggers, but I'll definitely check that out.

Giessle SSA. The SSF is the select fire version and is SOCOM approved

I want the Giessle, but I'm not sure I want to fork out the money for one. The Larue is 95% as good as the Giessle IMO, but nearly 1/3 the price. This may be a buy once cry once type thing for me and I may still go for the Giessle just because.

Wow. Just looked it up. very nice.

Most definitely! I have a flat one on one of my ARs!
