But i DO NOT want to question my weapon when the SHTF. Any and all input will be greatly appricated

6920, lots of ammo, lots of shooting, lots of reading the stickies at the top of the forum, lots of using the orange search button at the top of the page.

Good luck.

6920 or BCM.

[SpankMonkey]

6920. Grant has them in stock IIRC. You can't go wrong with a 6920.

Here is a list...

Colt 6920 from Grant @ G&R Tactical: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?display=home

D&H magazines from Bravo Company: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR-15-Magazines-p/magazines%20dh%20bt30mf.htm

Ammunition of your choice.

Training class of your choice, but I would suggest that you look hard at the courses offered by some the the SMEs on this site.

thanks guys for the info i have been looking hard at the 6920 . I have done some searching for classes but none offered close to me that i have found my job wont allow me to be off for several days to travel for a 3 day class and my local gun clubs dont offer any kind of carbine classes just 3 gun matches

I'm personally saving for a Cold 6720. You might like the weight saving. Grant's recommendation on several threads has talked me into wanting one.

Run the Bolt and Bolt Carrier wet with lube.

You really can't go wrong with a 6920. That's lifetime weapon.
