I did a quick side-by-side and was wondering, besides the lack of a bayonet lug on the MT, what are the differences?
Thanks,

If I remember correctly the MT6400C has a fixed buttstock and a muzzle brake instead of flash suppressor to comply with ban requirements. The rollmarks, of course are different as well.
Looking at the pictures from the Colt web sights, it would appear the muzzles devices are different. I wonder what differences there are in components, if any. Ultimately, I'm trying to decide which one to order.

Right now it really depends on what you can find. If you are offered both and at the same price, go with the 9620. You may be able to find a better deal on the 6400 though and if you're going to change out the stock and/or muzzle device anyway you might as well go with the cheaper model.
The 6400c comes with the cut down, neutered style bolt carrier whereas the 6920 will come with an M16 carrier.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that.Quote:

Good info, thanks!
get the 6920
The 6400 will have a stock that will not adjust. It would have to be completely replaced (approx $80 - $175), depending on the mfg.
The 6400 will have that silly muzzle devise. To replace would cost $50-$100
The 6400 will not have a regular size mag (value $15)
The 6400 will not have the M16 carrier.
The 6400 will have lower resale value.
If the features listed above don't mean much for your use, than the 6400 is a high quality option.
I have owned both models. My understanding is the last batch of MT6400s came with a M16 bolt carrier. The switchover was Colt wide, older 6920s didn't have the M16 carriers, IIRC. I didn't think Colt made the Match Target series any more, are they still producing 6400s?
The difference is the rollmarks, pinned muzzle brake versus threaded on flashhider, fixed faux collapsible stock versus real collapsible, bayonet lug missing on the 6400.
I'd get the 6920 unless you are legally bound to get 6400, or it costs enough less that de-bannifying it would be less than getting a 6920. They do have "M4 Carbine" rollmarks, which are kind of cool, but I didn't like the "Match Target".
