    Colt 6920

    Hey fellas I'm new so I hope I am asking this in the right forum. I currently have a M&P-15T and like the gun very much, however after looking at some of the features that were presented in the posted charts I'm not sure if it is what I am looking for. I am not in LE and will be using the gun for HD and Camp defense.

    I am one of those guys who wants to own the best of the best if I can and would like to be pointed in the right direction. I also see that the Noveske brand seems to be held in high reguard as well. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Can a civilian purchase Colt's any longer?

    Thanks in advance
    MR

    Colt
    Noveske
    LMT

    While your M&P is a fine gun I consider the three listed above as the finest out of the box carbines made. They are all GTG.

    Your AR is fine for your intended use.
    Learn it, Shoot it, enjoy it.... clean, inspect, and replace worn parts as needed.

    There are hundreds if not thousands of police officers around the country that are issued and use S&W, Bushmaster and RRA AR's with good results.

    Since your 15T is no good, I will take it off your hands for $500.

    Leo's are not the best test of rather a gun is good or not. My department issues DPMS guns. I have had to go over them and replace parts to get them to run right. They have had issues. But my point being the average officer only shoots at qualification time which is once a year to 4 times a year depending on the agency. That is not a lot of ammo. So I would not assume a rifle is good just because an leo agency issues that gun. DPMS guns are crap but a lot of agencies issue them because they are cheap. I carry my personally owned Colt 6920 at a patrol rifle.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    Most AR owners don't shoot a lot of ammo each year either and most of that is at the range. The point I was tring to make was that If LEO's must carry an issue item on the street's then I would not be concerned with the differance between an S&W, ect.. and a Colt for range/hunting/home defense use.
    I'm glad that I did not put DPMS in my post... I'm glad that you have the option to carry your own carbine. I'm sure a lot of LEO's don't get that option.

    Now with the current political winds going the way they are I would buy a 6920 today if I had the funds to do so. it maybe the last chance to ever get one and could also be a good investment. My BM would still be my go to weapon.

    I'll still stick by my statement that most of us non-LEO/Contractor type people will be well served by a basic Stag, S&W, BM or RRA. Just keep it inspected, lubed and replace parts as needed.

    I can't speak for other regions of the country but here in Alaska most agencies allow their officers to carry a personal carbine that meets certain specifications.
    I have owned Oly, BM, Colt, Noveseke, Armalite and only the Colt and the Noveseke do I trust out of that list. But to each his own.

    A good friend of mine is a Deputy Sheriff in Georgia (Atlanta area) and they are issued 6920's. They got a buch of cash from several large drug bust and used it to purchase the weapons.
    Before they got those for each road Deputy only the SRT and K-9 guy's had AR's.
