DDMK18 or Colt Canada MRR 11.5 inch... what's better?

[Stoner99]

Colt Canada. Easy. You get a little more with CC now. DD cost a lot with US dollar

Love my mk18 light and functions perfect in 10.3

My opinion? Colt Canada all day long and twice on Sunday over any DD rifle. No question

In your opinion, would it be better to put together a (complete factory) CC lower and SAS upper, or just go with the MRR? - not often we get to hear from you, thanks for dropping in.

Colt Canada. But I'm bias....

This.

Now there's an endorsement (for CC) worth noting. Would you care to elaborate?

Thank you.

I never wanted an AR until Colt Canada's IUR was released. As a VERY proud owner, all I can say is this: When I take it to the range it gets more ooooh and ahhh reactions than a lot of other AR's at the range.

There is a point of pride that goes with a Colt Canada purchase that is hard to quantify. You either have one, or you wish you had one

Colt canada and iur

I wholeheartedly agree!

which one tickles your fancy? take it. they are both top shelf ar. I would take the 11.6 mrr just because it has better mv for not much more barrel. Both will serve you well for a long time.

Combat use since 9/11 by Allied special operations forces. Diemaco/Colt Canada build good guns. They would sell like hot cakes if they could be sold in the USA.

Honestly your call - I'd say either would be a winner

Colt hands down and the resale will be high.

there you have it, from the man. when LV says pick either, get both and call it a day ;P

 

[Valaden]

The CC coolaid going strong.

Greentips got this right. I am forced to carry an IUR and it's just dumb. It's clumsly and slow, compared to a light DD or any brand of good basic AR. More and more of the guys I work with are figuring this out. Yes it looks cool. That's about it. If you can get a basic CC and price is the same, then there is more of an arguement that can be made as they are fantastic guns. They have more of a place, I would say, if you are looking for a DMR rifle, or had to mount a grenade launcher. The army guys I've shown it to think it's silly as well. If you are looking for a fun gun.... you'll soon get sick of the rails/forestock, but now you can't change them. Or the barrel without a stupid expensive tool.

I've argued this before and many will foo foo me because as you've seen above there's a lot of Canadian supporters here. I guess my best arguement would be if you could handle and shoot both and not know the brand.... I'm fairly sure most people would pick the DD simply as a weight/handling issue. Without being able to do that then at least handle both and compare them before you buy OP.

Larry, have you actually handled the IUR?
