"Colt quality?"
    "Normally I try to stay away from product bashing of our competitors, but I saw a new Colt lower receiver unit and had to make some observations - positive and negative - so that the shooting community knows what to expect if they choose to buy this product. "

"#1 - Trapdoor for stock is made entirely from plastic - including the "hinge" and latch, which are just sheets of plastic that bend like a cheap lids from a medicine bottle. Thankfully it is replaceable with a standard unit.
#2 - The lower parts are funky! Hammer and trigger pins are STILL oversize that prevents the use of standard mil-spec type parts. The trigger has a long "tail" that is, I guess, there to prevent the installation of an M16 selector.
#3 - The model is a Match Target Competition HBAR (could they put any more words on the side???). It came standard with a 10# trigger pull! This is a match rifle?
#4 - Machining of the lower. The broaching of the mag well looks very nice as does the internal milling, but the external tool marks leave much to be desired. I hope this is a fluke, and not normal. It is a mil-style weapon, but you have to draw a line somewhere. None of the poor machining would affect accuracy, fit, or function - it is purely cosmetic.
#5 - The front pivot pin is now a standard size, but still not of the push in - push out variety. A screw type pin is required, but an offset pin is not, so other uppers are easier to install.
#6 - They got a clue and discarded the block in the receiver and now leave a "bridge" unmilled to prevent the use of an auto sear. Less machining & no extra parts - why was this such a hard concept?

    Other than that, everything is typical AR receiver. Everything was functional and put together correctly, but there are still some issues that should be addressed. But now you the reader and customer know what is to be expected so you can make an informed decision about the next purchase you make. "
