Had some issues with the search engine so I was wondering if Colt still makes these? I just saw an old pic of one on these forums and I fell in love. How much do they generally go for? How does everyone like them?
Thanks,

They're great SBRs. In stock at Clyde Armory.

Price is typical.

Thanks.
I've got a 6921 and bought a separate 6933 upper for it later. Wished I had thought like you and done it right the 1st time by getting the 6933 up front.
I don't have anything yet but I am seriously considering it. I like the idea of getting this to compliment my 6920. Although I'm torn between getting this or saving up for an SP901. Something tells me this will be used a hell of a lot more.
I too lusted long time for a 6933. I finally took the plunge and bought one at Clyde's Armory last month. I got a better price than what's on their website. I'm now simply waiting for my ATF stamp to come back.
6933, the AR so nice, I bought it twice! IMO the best SBR you can buy.
The good news is I got mine years ago and the price was about $50-100 more than a 6920 at the time. The bad news is that they are both large-pin with the fatter FCG pins, which I understand is no longer the case with current production.
The 6933 is tits! That and my BCM 14.5" lightweight middy are my favorites.
I purchased my LE6933 in 09. I love it, its the rifle I carry on duty every day.
I bought mine from Clyde armory as well.
Mine wears a T-1/Larue, Troy Rear, DD Fixed Front, VTAC-Troy Rail 9" with shaved front sight base and a surefire scout in dangerclose mount, redimag gen 2. Moe Stock, Moe Grip and Giesselle 3 Gun Flat trigger. I have a cooley comp brake (had it laying around) on it now but will most likely go to a battlecomp soon. I'm tempted to put a surefire brake on it but I shoot with friends and want to keep some of them as friends.
It weighs 7.5 pounds unloaded.
9.5 pounds with a great balance loaded with two pmags.
I'm tempted to buy another one, it by far gets the most trigger time at this point.
Swerving back to my lane.
So I thought to myself "it's the internets, why don't we turn this into a 6933-love pic thread?!"
I've had mine for at least 5 years. The first was one I bought "private sale" from the first batch that Clyde offered while I was on the waiting list for the second batch. I paid ~$100 premium for the "in stock" carbine over the one I waited for. of course, as these things happen, they both got to me about the same time.
I wanted the 69330 because I wanted the Ops 15th model suppressor, and they make a great pair, with the can coming back over the barrel right up to the leading edge of the FSB. And the combination is still shorter overall than a 16" barrel AR.

With my first 6933, I also knew that I wanted a free-float rail that stopped just shy of the can, and that I wanted to install it over the shaved FSB. How did I decide I wanted to shave the FSB? By buying a "9.5" rail from DD and finding out it was really closer to a 10.0 rail.

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q..._0879Small.jpg
I briefly considered having it cut down but ultimately that seemed more trouble than it was worth.
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...uff/DD-9-1.jpg
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...stuff/DD-9.jpg
Which left no real choice but to shave.
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q..._0896Small.jpg
The good news is, it actually got LIGHTER
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...0907Medium.jpg
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...0905Medium.jpg
and this is how it wound up, for quite a long while, with it's twin sitting in the safe "virginal".
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/IMG_0912.jpg
It matched up nicely to the 6520 flattop conversion I had, which was part of the plan as well.
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...ff/Both-01.jpg
Did some POI shift testing with the can and without, using the 1.5x optic
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q..._1620Small.jpg
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q..._1617Small.jpg
Wasn't too thrilled with the results, so set it up a different way to get better precision
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...2537Medium.jpg
Got better results downrange, or at least better groups

Then I spent a year with an AK, and figured out I didn't need all that fantsy-pantsy
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...2081Medium.jpg
dug out the virgin gun and started using it
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...ul-Larue-1.jpg
Needed a way to mount a light so played around a bit
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...2870Medium.jpg
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...2867Medium.jpg
Came to what I thought was a much better solution
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...G_3248-800.jpg
Figured out that with all that weight I was now saving I could add a Redimod
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...ff/6933-04.jpg
Geeked out the original, suppressed, gun as my HD setup
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...hts-nomags.jpg
Changed some furniture, played with the sling, etc. on the basic gun
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC_3832.jpg
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC_3943.jpg
This is now the gun I shoot more than any other, when I have my choice

I can't find anything it can't do that I need it to do, and the combination of light weight and small package is a godsend. I've made hits at 200 yards on 8" steel targets from magazine-monopod prone with XM193 and a 4 MOA Aimpoint. Something the internets would have had me believe was impossible with a short "pencil" barrel had I not tried it myself.
Wow rob that's awesome. I'm salivating just looking at that. My 6920 is going to get jealous here pretty soon. I just gotta see about using the trust I already have to purchase this.
Hellz yeah, the 6933 Luv Thread. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...hingbanana.gif
Thanks, Rob.
My 6933 is upper only. The lower is a RR Colt M16A1 with Geissele SSF trigger. It wears the E-Mod for the 6933 upper and the CTR for the dedicated .22 upper.

I have only had mine for 3 monthes and love it. This was my first NFA item. I think that you will enjoy it if you go the way of the 6933.
5.62 pounds empty in a KISS configuration. It's a great SBR.
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...6/DSC01210.jpg
How do these run suppressed? Are they reliable with 5.56? Or are they overgassed? It should have an H1 buffer just like the 6920 right?
When I got mine I was too stupid to know that I was supposed to need a different buffer, adjustable gas block, and lord knows what other tweaks to make an SBR run both with and without a can. Strange thing is, the gun(s) just run and run, suppressed and non-, with the H buffer that came in them. I guess Colt is too stupid too.
I'm not really down with the various buffer/gas tweaks that seem to be all the rage of late, but my setup works without issue for me. Bolt locks back on empty mags both ways too. Something else I was too stupid to know was optional.
I only run mine suppressed. Ejection was violent with the stock setup. I switched to an H2 and a Sprinco red spring, which softened things up considerably. The gun still functioned fully & correctly through 900+ rounds without cleaning OR lube, about half of which was full auto using various types of ammunition.
Will it work with the stock setup? Absolutely. I just want my parts to last longer. :)
Buy the Colt SBR. You will be happy and that us a fair price.
Here is a Colt A1 lower, Colt upper and BCM 11.5" bbl.

my 6933 has been bullet proof. It runs 100% all ammo, suppresssed and unsuppressed
Opinions are like you-know-what, but IMO the LE6933 is as close to ideal a base carbine for civilian use as anything out there.
I want one of these.
I have an NFA trust in place already but have not purchased any NFA goodies. What is the process for purchasing this? Is the form 4 done by Clyde Armory or is it transferred to a local dealer via form 3 then the form 4 stuff done here?
You (or more accurately your trust) pays Clyde's. Clyde's transfers to your dealer; you pay the dealer a transfer fee; your dealer transfers to you.
Awesome photos makes me wish I could have one.
After seeing this thread I wonder what rob_s thinks of the 6933 after building his DD 10.3" five pound wondergun:D
https://sites.google.com/site/tactic...=235&width=400
I do like the idea of a factory SBR for NFA purposes.
Still prefer the 6933 in general (and that's a 6933 lower there).
the ultralight PDW I built for a specific purpose, and the project morphed a bit into seeing what I could get out of it in terms of weight, but the stock 6933 with MOE furniture, or a shaved FSB and 9.0 TRX with Ops can, or shaved FSB and 11.0 TRX with Surefire FH, would all be "better" guns IMO. You could even put a brake on the last example instead of the FH if you were so inclined.
Reminds me I should mount up an 11.0 TRX on my HD gun upper just to show what it looks like. Pretty sure I have one around here somewhere...
Not quite that sold on the 300 just yet.
HD gun is a 6933 with shaved FSB, TRX Extreme 9.0, Aimpoint, X300, no sling, no irons, Ops 15th model, Redimag.
Wow that can sits right in there.
Nobody talks much about reflex cans...or not putting irons on there HD gun. New thread material for sure.
god help the dumb bastard that breaks into your house.
just to be clear, the handguard stops right where the can starts. They don't touch, but the ID of the handguard is not large enough to accept the OD of the can.
I'm sure if you search around you can find the ration of shit I've already gotten over the sights and sling, or lack thereof. :cool:Quote:

My plans are to purchase a Colt 6933 11.5". I would like to have the front sight base either removed or shaved such that I could install a Troy TRX Extreme Battle rail and run an AAC Blackout or Breakout muzzle device, and AAC Mk4 2000 suppressor. Questions:
FSB: removed or shaved? Custom pinned/ screw mount gas block?
Troy TRX Extreme Battle rail: 9 or 11 inch?
I am going with the 9 inch with a low pro block. Had the 7.2 with plans of using the stock gas block but like the looks of the 9. I just wanted to make sure that I had enough room to remove the flash hider for future can. I am + you will be happy with however it turns out it is a great AR.
If you were planning on putting an 11" TRX rail with AAC can and muzzle device we figured out it won't work with an 11.5" barrel. I asked about doing the same thing a few months ago. There is not enough space between the end of the TRX rail to mount the can.
An 11" TRX Extreme rail will work just barely with a YHM can and muzzle device.
Here is the thread.
http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=70486
FYI Guy, here is a picture of one of my 6933s with 11" troy rail and AAC mount for a M42000. They both both work 100%. The FSB is shaved, I prefer the pinned FSB to one held by screws. Sorry the picture is not great, it was all I had on my computer at the moment.Quote:

That pic makes it look more like it's a mount for a YHM can. I've always operated under the concept of needing ~1" between stated barrel length and stated rail length to get an AAC or Surefire can to mount, and this was the rule of thumb that Noveske used when designing their switchblock rail as well as choosing 300 BLK barrel lengths.
looks more like this

than this
http://advanced-armament.com/reposit...uct/fh_51t.jpg
definatly not 1" clearance. Maybe a couple of mm clearance? I have several different AAC mounts and my recollection is some would work some would not. I have used a YHM can/mount on this gun and it gives slightly more clearance. I have not tried mounting a Surefire can on this upper but I have another 6933 with a KAC rail and surfire supressor mount (shaved FSB, was a bitch to put this upper together). I can take other pictures if someone really needs to see?
