- Try selling the Quality Parts or Eagle Arms gun on down the road. Most
- prefer that little "pony" on the side. I just ordered recievers from both
- QP and EA. And I admit they are as good and/or better than the Colt.
- Personally, I think EA is at the top. However, the Colt has much more
- collectors value and resale value as well. Its the "real thing" so to
- speak. Uhuh.
