    Back into the AR life again

    I had gotten away from it for awhile. During the Obama scare in '08 I sold mine for some healthy profits and hadnt really given any thought to another one. Until I seen this Colt 6920 MPFDE, some call it ugly, but I love it, and what do you know, it followed me home.

    I'm still no AR expert, and the only thing I see wrong with it (atleast seems wrong to me), is there is quite a bit of play between the upper and lower, where my Bushy and two M&P's never had it. Doesn't seem to bother accuracy much though, this thing shoots well. With a Tasco 3-9x40 on it for fun, and some 62gr PMC X-Tac's it put 5 shots 0.992" center to center at 100 yds.

    Anyway, Ive been told by a couple of people that it is a limited edition, but I don't know if thats true or not. Is there any truth to that ?

    This is my first Colt, so I'm pretty excited about it. One thing is for sure, there is no doubting that the carrier key on this one is staked well. I love the Magpul furniture and the PMAG's. With the 1/7 twist barrel, I'm expecting the 75gr TAP ammo to be no issue at all for it.

    No worries about the play.

    No word I've seen on them limiting the run for the FDE or OD anodized weapons. Looks like Colt is going in the direction of color anodizing with their modular weapon system too, so they may offer it for a while or add other colors/camo patterns to the lineup.

    Play between the upper and lower means absolutely nothing. As for the Bushy and M&P. They have bigger things to worry about other than just a little play.

    Almost makes you wonder when someone will come out with a solid copper lower just because they can.

    Nice, I got the same one recently and I like it alot. I think the FDE looks really good. Unlike yours the fit on mine is perfect with no wobble, no big deal if it did as I have a couple BCM's and LMT's, all those haver a little wobble but shoot great.

    I suggest you buy ammo, and take a class or two. Glad you like your new Colt.

    Colt is top quality. They are the brand that all are compared to for good reason. Colt OWNS the TDP, this means they are allowed to build civilian rifles to the TDP, something no other manuf. can do.
