Hello, longtime lurker, decided to join. Cool site and forum. Own several DPMS 308's. I have interest in and questions about the new Colt, but even asking a question about Colt on other forums just stirs up coolaid-drinker strife and flames, thought I would ask ya'll maybe I can get a sane intelligent cool response and discussion. For one - what is the concept of operation of this rifle? I mean, what is the target audience? Is it geared towards the unit "arms room" for big green, i.e. place your order at the squad level and armorer will set you up by swapping out hardware, etc? For the civvie, at least for me, I have several guns in the safe and reach for the caliber I need at the time. I just cant understand investing in one lower and depending on multiple uppers, especially with all the additional parts and complexity of the system - I like k.i.s.s. generally, but can be convinced otherwise if this system offers increased utility, some sort of added value, etc. I will always have more than one lower, so I'm not seeing where this will gain me anything. I like to grip around the front of the magwell while firing and that lowered pivot pin area just looks, well, fat and, dont know, just dont know if I would go for that. Again, respectfully trying to get info here, not trying to cause arguments, can ya'll school me on this upcoming product from Colt? Thanks in advance for any replies.
