    Walmart find, trouble deciding.

    First off, it's been a very very long time since I have posted on this forum since I can find the answer to almost every question that I have using the search function. But here is my dilemma.

    I was just about to buy a friends "NIB" S&W M&P15TS (14.5 inch barrel) for $1,250.00 but when I was in Walmart today I saw a Colt LE6920 SOCOM in the cage listed for $1,467.

    So what would you all do. Buy the lesser expensive S&W or go for the Colt?

    BTW: It will be mostly used for target use, Coyote and other varmints and I do plan on enrolling in a class or 2 since my Army training from the late 80s and early 90s is getting a bit rusty.

    Thoughts?

    Colt all the way.
    you might be able to get the regular 6920 m4 for $1200 or less if you look around

    when you're done with them
    you can drop them off anywhere

    Colt 6920(x2, soon to be 3), Glock 30s (×2), gen 4: 19,21.

    I would get the SOCOM, without a doubt.

    +1.The SOCOM is nice, but you should be able to find a regular 6920 for about 1,100.Then get an Aimpoint PRO and Larue mount for a little more money than the SOCOM. But if you can't wait and money isn't a problem, get the SOCOM. It's a fine rifle.

    Colt. I think the extra couple hundred nets you more.

    Buy the Colt and don't look back. It will do everything you want it to and then some.

    For the price of a SOCOM you can get yourself a nice lightweight DD or LW BCM and get either in middy if you prefer that (I could care less carbine vs. mid length), so I'd hold out.

    I'm with you on this. Colts are nice, but at that price the DD is a better option IMHO.

    Don't bother with the m&p! I own the Colt M4A1 Socom. Hell of a long gun, I just surpassed 10K rounds with no problems. I replaced the gas rings at 7K rounds for regular maintenance, other than that everything has held together as expected...get the Pony.

    If you have an itch you need to scratch, go for the Colt, otherwise, I'd get the BCM limited run middy from Grant. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=134126
