(5 out of 5) Great Customer Service
by from Diamond Bar, CA on

Thanks to your great customer service and teamwork so I could get this nice Colt AR15 before California's ban of assault rifles. The quality of Colt is great for sure, and the customer service from Sportsmans Outdoor carried out my dream.

(5 out of 5) excellent choice for the price
by from OKC, OK on

This is very good rifle for the price. It has M4 load ramps and M4 upper marked in front or the pictnay rail Shoots great. If your looking for a colt this is a good price. also has a chrome barrel. you can not go wrong with the magpul rbus and the magpul magazine. Only thing is the lower is marked for .223 cal but it is a .556 barrel.
