About to order

[C4IGrant]

For one i never said i researched this site for months. No need for rude remarks...just a new guy so relax. I spoke to a military buddy of mine about colts, and he told me to not go that route because the military only uses them due to their cheap cost to manufacture. I have no clue if this holds any truth, just a thought id add in for you guys.

So the colt 6920 is what I should be looking at? Just making sure.

Most people in the Military know nothing the weapon they are issued.

I would shop around if I were you and pick up a 6920. Check out the stickys they have some good info.

OP, read the sticky threads in the technical subforums.
There is much that you can learn there.
Make your decision based on the knowledge you've absorbed there, not by a military guy's opinion, (who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about).

my understanding is they are the same just different roll marks.

They are exactly the same sans the rollmark.

I bought a SP6920 and a ST15 and I'll tell you, I like them both about equally. Maybe after I fire them both a lot more then one will stand out above the other but I don't have any problems with my Spike's. My only regret is that I didn't get a mid-length.

Thanks guys! Appreciate all the help. Glad i didn't rush into anything without asking you all!

After many many many months of research, I have decided to order a upper and lower from Spikes tactical later today. I am new to this platform as a whole, would anyone mind letting me know if this is a good decision? I will be getting the lower: (Spider (Fire/Safe) Lower w/ Enhanced Kit - Black CTR Stock & MOE Grip) and the upper will be: (ST- Enhanced Upper- 16" Mid-Length w/ Handguard and FSB). The total will be $1,198.29 for those two as well as 2 pmags (30rds), a magpul MBUS rear folding sight, as well as an afg2. Once again, after much research i am strongly leaning to this. I know Colt has a lot of hype, however i feel i would be buying a name. Thanks!

FWIW, the AFG is intended for a further forward mount even than what you can get on a mid-length. No matter what gun you choose I'd skip the AFG to start with and see if you need it or not.
