Well, I didn't know they were shipping but got a call from my local shop yesterday to say they were in. It's bad when the gunshop has you on speed dial. I went by in the afternoon, looked over a M4 and a flattop rail they had and chose the M4. Made by Walther and marked COLT in several places. Had supper and off to the range. Federal (Wally World special) worked for the most part with some that didn't fire but would after 2-4 retrys. Winchester Xpert worked like a dream. On paper it was shooting high and left. Left was no problem, but with the sight all of the way down it still shot 4" high at 25 yards. Nice little groups. If I want to sight it at less then 100 yds then I will need to take a front sight tool. Lots of fun and no more problem then any 22 auto (except a 10/22). A keeper as far as shooting.
All metal but don't expect it to be a copy of the AR. Outside, yes but inside a whole new system. Trigger is very heavy at 10.5 lbs on mine. Popped the forearm off and the front sight appears to be a real AR sight/gas system part. Plus- feels like the big boy, cheap and reliable. Negative- hard trigger but something I can live with, and the 30 round mags do not allow shooting off a bench or supported low position. I think I'll keep it.
