[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1775768, member: 24428"] Colt over Remington! With Remington having so many quality control issues over the years with their civilian rifles.. especially with their trigger safeties... I just don't trust their quality like I would a Colt or a S&W. I wonder if the S&W M&P 15 was ever in consideration? The military Colt model is certainly a good weapon... I've shot them over the years and I've handled the Remington civilian model, but personally I like the build & quality of my S&W M&P 15 better... just seems more durable and the finish more scratch / rust resistant. Just looks and feels like a more durable weapon. I looked at all 3 civilian models and could have afforded any one of them.. but the mid-range priced S&W just seemed to be a better weapon over all to me. I get the feeling that the cash strapped Defense Department went with the Remington model strictly due to the cheap price..... not due to long-term dependability over the Colt model. For military purposes and heavy use, I think the Remington will have durability problems. [/QUOTE]
