If you say so.
christcorp,
If you disagree please elaborate? FWIW- I saw a CMMG upper complete at the gun show this weekend. It was about 90.00 cheaper than the Colt above.
Are you seriously going to say that the CMMG is better?
If you say so.
Wow. Those 6920 upper prices are really just about inline with an equivalent BCM.
Would love to see them add LPKs too.
That seems to be the best price around for their bcg. That I've found at least.
Those prices are roughly in line with Daniel Defense uppers that are sold locally here in Vegas. Not too bad imo.
must be a joke...I was told that colt dont care about civilian market/costumers :jester:
glad to see quality bolts and BCG available at decent price

About time. Colt is still the gold standard
That seems to be the best price around for their bcg. That I've found at least.
Yeah, I think my next upper will definitely have a Colt BCG and charging handle.
......Would love to see them add LPKs too.
This +1
This just raised the bar.
As much as I like BCM/DD & other vendors, Colt is the standard everyone(well maybe not everyone) strives to reach and/or exceed.
Good news for buyers
Now if they would only make a 14.5 light wt. middie & a 20" light wt.
and a light wt. in 6.8 with a Spec II chamber a 1:11 twist and chrome
line the bore & chamber
;)
good price, Colt 6920 and 6940 are good solid uppers.
Well at least they're getting on the right track.
What make/model is the rear BUIS? See link below.

Matech
it's the same BUIS issued to the troops
Was surprised at how low the prices on the uppers were then I noticed they were the recently announced SP variants rather than the LE ones. As I recall it's been confirmed that there are no real differences...just thought it was interesting and in that context the pricing was less surprising. If nothing else, it's nice to see Colt start becoming more competitive (at least price wise) with other vendors.
Wow, this is good news! And I'm in the market for a BCG. Thanks!

Member on another forum posted this ,so I cant take credit for finding it.I had just signed up here and was waiting for the mods to approve me,when they did I posted about this first.I'm just a Colt fan boy waving the flag,I hope everybody likes this info as much as I do !
Now I'm just waiting for the SP901 price to be announced ,weee heee !
This is pretty cool, but I can't help but prefer the options that Bravo Company offers that Colt does not. Hammer forged lightweight barrels, mid-length gas systems, etc.
Good move by Colt, but they need another move or two to catch up.
That being said, I still love my 6920.

Very neat! Thanks for posting.
This is great news. I would love to get my hands on a couple LPK's for the larger trigger/hammer pin lowers.
I could swear at one time Colt announced that they would be making the right pin sized upper to allow the fitting of 6920 and 6940 uppers for older Colts.
just curious....
are the Colt bolts and bcgs made by CMT or in house?
if made by CMT, would they be the same as the CMT bolt/bcg found in say a noveske? minus batch vs individual testing of the bolt.
thx.
Well I got all excited there for a moment, but sadly no 6933 uppers. :(
This is a great start.... The notion of not having to get ASS raped by S.A.W.'s insane pricing is heaven!
They need to add a 6720 upper for me to slap on top of my 6920!

Pair these up with an LMT lower and one can build one hell of a rifle for about $1000.
There truly is no excuse any more to skimp on quality.
Outstanding ! Good to see Colt Has Not forgot about us civilians .with all the Ar Companies popping up.I guess they thought it was time to go back and cash in on the market

I hope they bring those to market and I hope they sell a metric crapload of them.

How about some complete lowers as well! I would slap an SR15e3 upper on top of a colt lower and I have my self one kick ass department approved carbine!
It only hurts the first time.

There are really two Colt companies now, Colt's Manufacturing and Colt Defence. Are they equal? 6920LE comes from Colt Defense. These come from Colt's Manufacturing. Does it matter?

I've been telling y'all this for awhile now. Colt Manufacturing gets the MT line, and now the Sp line from Colt Defense.
According to a rep, I emailed a few years ago, they are all the same, except for the obvious differences, like 1/9 barrel(where listed) or ban compliant parts. Every bolt in every weapon is MPI/HPT
They are the same.

Colt Defense was split off from Colt's Manufacturing Company in 2002 in order to focus on the military, law enforcement and security markets. so Not really they have the same QC
My MT Lower Is marked Colt Defense It came off a MT 6400 which I put a Colt 6921 upper on it

Interesting. Just for reference:
$400 BCM M4 Upper Receiver Group (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-M4-16-Upper-Receiver-Group-p/bcm-urg-m4-16.htm)
$140 BCM Auto BCG (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-Bolt-Carrier-Group-MPI-Auto-M16-p/bcm%20bolt%20carrier%20group%20auto%20mp.htm)
$23 BCM M4 handguard (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/M4-Handguards-Black-p/bcm%20handguards%20m4%20black.htm)
$23 CMT charging handle (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR15-Charging-Handle-p/charging%20handle%20ar15.htm)
That's a $586 subtotal, and the 6920 upper appears to come with a Matech BUIS. Factor in that the Colt BCG is also $40 more expensive (which is also a good price considering they're typically north of $200) and you're right in the ballpark.
Obviously those wishing for a mid-length are not served by this offering, but it's a nicer reversal to see from Colt.
This is great news. I would love to get my hands on a couple LPK's for the larger trigger/hammer pin lowers.
Yes please. and at other-than-SAW pricing would be nice.
It's about time that Colt started worrying about selling to civilians more. Probably worried that the government money will eventually run out.
Like others have said though, Colt needs to play catch up and then come out with something that will knock one out of the ballpark so to speak.
Maybe this will lower prices on some other companies offerings!

Don't forget about Colt Canada (formerly Diemaco, in Ontario).
I wish the 6920 came with a carry handle, I want a real Colt carry handle lol. Great for aligning rails! I may just have to buy one soon for another build.

Colt and CMT have NOTHING to do with one another (FYI). So the answer to your question is NO.

You aren't going to see NFA uppers out of Colt. Their legal dept. thinks that uppers under 16" in length are illegal to own.

All the same.

The blue Custom Shop boxes, similar to the boxes that 70 series 1911's come in, are a nice touch.

I have a couple of colt carry handles that have never seen the light of day, if you are interested shoot me a PM

maybe i'm getting mixed up here with Cerro forge and CMT.
Cerro forge, forges for Colt right? or does colt have their own forge? i thought i remembered seeing the cerro keyhole forge mark on colt uppers.
thx for the info.
