Interesting. Rifle is for sale in Lowell, OP is from the same area.
Trigger Time,
Not being argumentative here. Just curious why you think a 20" barrel would limit you. I carried one in a jungle environment in Panama, woods, desert and MOUT environment (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) and everywhere in between and it never limited me. The range scores were higher across the board too, when our guys were shooting A2s. That was back before the Army started mounting optics on every rifle in sight (which I never bought into) and they taught soldiers the art of iron sights. The longer sighting radius on a twenty inch rifle helps there.
Never would have dreamed of approaching my crusty, old, Vietnam veteran, platoon sergeant and telling him that I thought the 20" barrel on my M16 was limiting me.
That it is my friend. It was a post thrown out there see what kind of bait is out there in the arms world. We don't have to beat around the bush were men here. Yes that arms list post is mine. Was the post legitimate. No. Not that I would even sell this gun let alone sell it to anyone on that site for the ft of scammed over populating it. Next time just ask OP out.
I'm new here too but I won't act like that.. That dude was a douchebag!
His listing said it was listed today and it's deactivated.
That was kinda dirty fishin around here and overpricing a rifle buy about $1200.
Another noobi flipper.
I really like the comment...."we are all men here"
He should act like one. ingo people were kind and offered their time as always. He took advantage trying to draw attention to an overpriced Colt. He was selling it and should get an infraction but I doubt he will be back.
I wanna know if that paint scheme was factory or not?Exactly. I did not want to make an outright accusation. But he did admit what he was up to. Basically trolling for a sucker, trying to peak interest and draw attention. I will say this. If I owned that rifle and were trying to sell it, I would have much better pics than a half a$$ed one on a bed sheet. I would try and make it as appealing as possible. For all we know, it could be a fake. The only real way to know is to take time to call colt. He did have a good close up of the serial.
Anotherone to add to the block list
