DO NOT GET A FIXED CARRYING HANDLE UPPER! (Yes, I shouted. Wanted to make sure I had your attention.) It'll restrict your ability to accessorize whenever you finally decide to upgrade (and you will, trust me on this; optics are worth the money, especially as your eyes age). If you feel the need to have a carrying handle, get the removable one. The price difference is a few percentage points of the total cost, not worth worrying about. I'm not a fan of Colt for various reasons mainly attitude. (I've owned three over the years and never thought they were worth the extra money for their name or the PC mods they installed. Still annoyed about their large pin lowers and the reciever block/butchered bolt carrier.) YMMV

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
