Looks like any regular 60 dollar lower.
I don’t get attaching the colt name on it. It’s not. |

For comparison. ^^^^^ Not sure what/why the Colt/BCI reference either. First I've heard of them. East Lake Industries LLC FFL07/SOT02 Dealer and Manufacture of Firearms, Machine Guns and Suppressors. |

i bought into the low shelf lower crap years ago, bought MEGA machine, ya know what? does it matter. I like the MEGAs thou because they milled out an extra oz vs the others back then.
edit: I bought into it due the delusion of a rdias, or whatever. In reality its a buzz word to drive sales to the uninformed/new like i was. Outside of maybe weight( if i buy a new lower i'm going to zev or Mckay). Its bullshit. but ooo look at me i got all low shelves. HOWEVER I like the no roll mark, none of mine have em. nothing an Anderson "ghost" and a buddy with cheap transfers can't achieve. Unless its really milled like MEGA used too, its nothing special. |

I assume the BCI/Colt thing is trying to drive traffic to the listing by spamming keywords for well known brands in the title, basically a rudimentary form of SEO.
What's funny is that there's an identical listing with the exact same pictures but with a buy now price that's $28 cheaper, a $3 starting bid and no keyword spam in the title. |

Also I just noticed in the description that the bolt catch and rear takedown pin use screws instead of normal roll pins.
