Colt 6920 Trooper

[cl2]

I actually just joined this forum to post here.
I'd been waiting to find a great price on the mps-b, but kept missing the best sales. I found this on grab a gun for $725 shipped. I pulled the trigger without really thinking.
So, I know it's new, but on the advertisements, I keep seeing posts that it's awful and overpriced. Not sure why. Does anyone here have one yet? Mine should be here mid week.

I have one and don't think it sucks. The rail mounting is different that a normal CMR, but mine seems quite secure in the 2 weeks I've had it.

You're basically getting a 6920 with the pinned shaved front sight base and a free-float rail for less than the price of a standard 6920. The only knock against mine is the mil-spec trigger, which is a heavy-quasi two-stage affair that is better than some of the others I've wound up with.

That's interesting because that center screw interfaces with the barrel nut, making it near impossible for the rail to move forward. Is that compensated for in some other way? Maybe a torque plate like what MI uses?

Yeah there is a plate where the screws clamp the rail together. I'm curious if it has a standard CMR barrel nut under there, but haven't brought myself to take the rail off. I guess if it gives me issues, I'll swap it out.

I can confirm that it uses a standard CMR barrel nut, the plate has a nub which engages the groove in the barrel nut to prevent the rail from sliding forward. I had a Gen 1 CMR rail that Weapon Outfitters sells that has the newer updated mounting that the M-lok and Gen 2 rail use and it mounted right up without issue.

Whoever was telling you this weapon is garbage is an ignoramus, and worth noting so you don't make the mistake of ever taking their posting serious. I'm going to guess you got that info off another board which has a bunch of clowns on it.


We will expect good pics, we have standards around here once you post about glamour shots....

You know you get jealous of my kitchen counter cell phone pics.

Whoever said that flat out doesn't know what they are talking about. Im on multiple gun forums and every one has the anti Colt people. They like to spew their nonsense but when you actually call them out on it, their problems with Colt rifles are either their personal opinion based on no facts, or they don't like a carbine gassed rifle. Just because someone prefers a midlength doesnt mean the carbine now doesnt work.

I am no photographer by any means, but I do have one on order as of last night, I look forward to having this model Colt in the stable. This is a glorious time when such fine, quality firearms can be had for so very little money. I am glad to see that Colt is starting to come out with other options for the civilian/Law Enforcement markets. Good on Them!

I was surprised several weeks ago, when I stumbled upon the Colt LE6920-R Trooper while doing an internet search for pricing on a 6920, as Colt had yet to start to promote this product. The Trooper is using a 13" rail made specifically for this project by Centurion (According to Centurion). This rail differs from the normal Centurion M-Lok rail in that there are no QD attachments made into the rail, and the mounting screws don't go into steel. Like most, this gun ships without BUIS. It also ships with the traditional Mil Spec type of stock. Functional, but could be improved upon.

I've seen the LE6920-R Trooper on line for as low as $715. For this price point, I think that the Trooper is a bargain.

I recently stumbled upon another internet search which reviewed a new Colt variant. The Colt LE6920-EPR. This comes with the Centurion rail with the QD slots. It also ships with the MagPul PRO MBUS, Bambi selector switch and the B5 stock. The best on line price I found for this variant was $1215.

I really have a hard time justifying spending an additional $500 to go from the LE6920-R Trooper to the LE6920-EPR Enhanced Patrol.

At $715, the Trooper would make an excellent spare rifle, travel gun, ect. and I'm very tempted to pick one up just for those reasons.

At $1215, the EPR is at a price point that would make me look hard at other options that may come with a mid length gas system ect.

Am I missing something...?
