Rather than stomp on Skintop's post: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=2408
I figured I'd post my range report here. I picked up a Colt 6520 Gov't Carbine yesterday. I had a nib Colt 6920 upper waiting for it.
It was a cool (mid 50's) misty/drizzly Turkey day....it was nice having it all to myself today!
Anyway, 340 rounds later and I'm really liking this little carbine.
I sighted in both the original 6520 Carbine upper and the 6920 M4 upper I have for it. The 6520 was centered, but shot about 8" low at the 25 meter sight in target. The 6920 shot about 4" low and 2" to the left.
Brought the sights into alignment and we were good to go.
Used Wolf/Prvi Partizan M193 and Radway Green SS-109 with a '92 headstamp.
I don't have way to clock velocity, but I'll tell you that in very unscientific terms the Radway Green "felt" much hotter. Both shot to basically the same point of aim out to about 100 meters.
I used a mix of newer USGI mags with green followers and British SA-80 parkerized steel mags with the blue-black followers.
No reliablity issues with the carbine, but had one failure to feed using a LaBelle magazine with the green "anti-tilt" follower that, well, tilted..... No other issues.
I was reliably hitting a 6" steel plate at 100 meters off hand with iron sights.
I like the ballance of both uppers, although I'll keep the 6520 upper on there until I get an Aimpoint Comp ML3, in which case I'll probably run the 6920 upper on it.
Man, I like this little carbine a lot!
