Monolithic uppers love them or hate them. I don't think CC builds stuff on people's personal opinion. They are like any other company, they are market driven. They are building what their customer specify. Right now monolithic uppers are the current market trend. That's where all the R&D goes.

I like my IUR, it shoots well, and I doubt the barrel will ever be shot out by me. Those C9 barrel blanks they used for the SA/15.7 and SA20 (and presumeably the IURS) are supposedly rated for 30,000 rounds so I think it will last me a while.

Very happy with it and looking forward to the MRRs when they come out.
 
For the average range "end user" either will do. If you can find the rifle in the style and configuration you want, buy either.
 
Agree with this ... I owned an IUR and SA15.7 .

6933 will have a better resale value over CC MRR. Just look at what they're going for in the EE. They're far more rare up here than the MRR will be once released.

CC makes a good product but I personally want nothing to do with the MRR. It unnecessarily adds weight, uses proprietary parts and doesn't have a FSB. I personally feel that they've made a mistake by deciding to discontinue the plain SA20/15 models.

Don't let guys blow smoke up yer pipe regarding the Colt Canada rifles. They are nice and may be "better" but not in any measurable way that you'll notice. And that mono upper crap is exactly that. Crap. Go watch a set of competitors, Absolutely zero will use a mono upper as they are slow and heavy. I take my Colt USA (which has extra freedom built in, rather than extra Socialism) and run it against the Federal Police force rifles and hands down I'm faster and more accurate through thier course of fire. It's not even hard.

So reading this I'm apt to bring forward my story from the old Colt forum when their guy was posting on the site. It's why I'm so pissy.... I wrote up a real nice comparison after shooting my own 6920 and several of the new Federal Issue IUR's. After shooting I came to the conclusion that A) they sucked, that they are an extended combat rifle that was heavy as balls and not at all fit as a patrol carbine which should be light and quick. B) that my 6920 beat it hard in every way because it was lighter and used a scope instead of the issued aim points in the Federal course of fire. C) that the forge marks on the rifle lowers were the same keyhole marks and that meant they came from the same US Cerro forge as my 6920, the integrated upper had a square forge mark indicating it came again from a US forge, Brass Aluminum in MI... So while we get told they were made in Canada it's simply not true. They are only finished there. D) finally I pointed out at 4000 a rifle that my belief was someone flipped to the most expensive rifle in the Colt Canada catalogs and picked it instead of purchasing say a SA15.7 or shorter which would have been a FAR better choice. Or a US colt at a quarter the price, and maybe discounted because of bulk purchases.

I was very nice on my posts and pointed this stuff out. The Colt guy deleted any comment I made that did not show Colt in a good light. Boom... I'll never buy CC.

BUT Colt Canada rifles are high quality, I agree. But there's still WAY MORE battle tested Colt USA or FN made AR/M16's in the sandbox. So again, any use we will ever hit these rifles with is really moot. So buy a good one, but don't waste your money.

And XDMER, I am sorry. I didn't realize I was a fixture in these CC posts... I will revisit standing down. :)

You can always reconsider. Whatever happened is old news from their first marketing efforts.

O'Dell Engineering has been distributing the products for a couple of years now. Dealers are able to source tons of cool items and the end users are all smiles. Did I mention excellent prices, excellent service, excellent products, made in Canada to very high specifications. New designs and options to stay current in a competitive environment. This is just the beginning from what I can see.

Thanks for all the advice again. I was also looking at a Daniel defence mk18 with a 10.3 in barrel. Go tenda has this one for sale that I'm interested as well. http://gotenda.com/epages/e8a84061-...29-ab0d-b8231aa0fef8/Products/"DD MK18 Brown" any advice on this ar would be greatly appreciated.

You can't go wrong with a DD as it's likely the one AR everyone here at CGN will agree on is a quality piece of kit worth owning/running anywhere...

DD's are difficult to find on sale, but try and do so if possible and yes while they have increased in price this past year (what firearm hasn't) they still are a decent value for what you pay (even at full retail).

So good to here from you again CreamySmooth it's been awhile, but as always you're a pleasure to discuss any and all AR's with.:rolleyes:

So glad you agree with me once again.:nest: :stirthepot2:

Cheers D
 
The main reason I want to choose one of these AR15 is I ordered a salient arms gry and was told 6-8 weeks for the rifle. Fast forward to the present and now I'm told another 4 months wait time and that's not even for sure. I appreciate all the info you guys have given me. Picking an ar is so hard with so many options to choose from. Do u guys have any other recommendations besides the rifles that are mentioned? One last question. The salient I ordered is in 223/556. What do u guys think about an sbr in 300blk for He second rifle?
