I just picked this up the other day because it looked way to cool, and I'm a sucker for 22s. I'm not sure I can keep it but for now it's mine...take a look.

Went out and shot a few hundred rounds today and the new Colt performed flawlessly. I'v got a video posted on Facebook if anyone wants to see it just e-mail me and I'll send it to you. If you have been thinking about buying one of these I reccomend it...no complaints so far

Just added link to my YouTube video...not much but it will give you an idea
good to hear it ran great for you. I heard when these first came out they sucked, there was a guy on gunbroker selling them as Plungers and fence post markers, because they just would not work(worked better as a singal shot). Like your set up looks good.
how much did you pay for it ? i saw it on a website which cost $700 shipped which is kinna expensive to me..
Ok, I've had the rifle for a few weeks now and I could not be more pleased. The gun has yet to misfire, jam, stove pipe, or whatever else you can think of, it has performed perfectly. I have been shooting only hi velocity ammo, not any of the bulk packs from Remi or Winchester and I think that may be one reason for the reliability. I have also been very meticulous when it comes to cleaning.
A few misconceptions abot this rifle cleared up:
The business end of this rifle is strictly a 22LR...there are no interchangeable parts that can be used with an AR with the exception of the stock, grips, carry handle, etc
Yep, it's expensive for a 22LR!, but you get the feel and function of an AR for a fraction of the cost per round...great way to introduce someone to shooting an AR
It is accurate as anything. Mine is sighted in at 100yds with the red dot and iron sights and I can shoot way under 1 MOA all day at 100yds with this thing.
Would I buy another one...probably not, like I said it's expensive
Am I happy I bought this one...you bet I am
Would I reccomend it to a friend...Yep, without a second of hesitation
I couldn't agree more! I've had my Colt for a little over a year and have had no problems at all. It just keeps on shooting. I do most of my shooting on my own property and have found it is great to have when I don't want to make too much noise. Accuracy and reliability are top notch. I sell AR-15 accessories and have tried them all out on this rifle. It's a great platform to test different setups on and you can shoot all day without going bankrupt. Also, from 5 feet away you can't tell its not a .223/5.56 unless you look really close (mag & bolt). I only use high velocity ammo, but you can adjust it to run on the lower velocity stuff. Great rifle made under license by Walther.
