Whatever you do, don't buy a late model Colt. It will have the .172 diameter trigger and hammer pins vs. .152 (IRC) diameter standard pins. While you can find replacement parts, it's a lot harder and not worth the effort.

Buy a Bushmaster, Armalite, DPMS, Rock River etc. and you won't go wrong.

Good luck.
