Colt 6720 + LaRue Tactical build

[Chris17404]

Grant... I've been considering having you do the same thing for me. But I've been tossing around the pros/cons of using a 10", 11" or 12" Larue rail on the Colt 6720. Thoughts on these different lengths for a general purpose defense gun? Right now, I'm thinking of using a DD fixed front sight, and not sure which weapon light. I don't want the gun to be too front heavy, and want it light.

What is the shortest LaRue rail one can use with a carbine length gas system & still fully cover a re-profiled FSB?

9 inches

I would go with a 10" or 11".

A 9" will cover it, but you will see the end of the FSB. So I would go with a 10" if you don't want to see ANY of the FSB.
