  20. No I wouldn't.  I think Quality Parts/Bushmaster Firearms is much more flexible
  21. toward customers in term of rifle configurations and they make better rifles than
  22. Colt too.  Beside, they sell to everyone not just law-enforcement folks.

  24. I would pick QP/Eagle/Olympic over Colt any day.
