Attached a photo of my Colt 6960, decked out to my preference. No particular reason other than wanting to show it off a little.

VTAC sling with Magpul QD swivels
Vortex Spitfire 1X
Inforce WML gen 2
Magpul rail covers

7 lbs 14 oz as shown (empty mag).

She gets toasty out front, so I'm gonna try the heat resistant rail covers. Hasn't been unbearable, but haven't pushed it too hard yet either.
Should get some shooting gloves anyway, but would rather they stay listed under "optional" gear.

Nice looking weapon. At what rate of fire and how many rounds (or elapsed time) does it get "toasty"?

Get the Centurion Arms rail covers and you will be all set.

If memory serves, really started noticing after three mags (30 rd each), would give a SWAG of 15-20 rounds per minute. Could still handle the rail, but a little faster or longer might've breached uncomfortable territory.

No concern for it's "serious" job (home defense), but it's going to see the range a lot both for HD practice & just plain fun. Would like to use it in carbine course as well, maybe this summer.

Figured the change in weight & handling characteristics would be negligible, and if I don't like them, cost is low enough that I won't fret the money spent.

Thanks for the tip- I should've checked their website first! They look a little nicer than the Magpul. Suppose I could always move the Magpul covers to a different rifle...

Excellent, thanks again! Those look good & think I would like the attachment better than the press fit of the Magpuls.

Got my first AR put together! Still have a couple parts coming in the mail, but it’s mostly done

Main body was a 6920 OEM2. Heading to put the first rounds through tomorrow!
