    All I'm seeing is that "the S&W is good, but the Colt is better," without any talk of accuracy, maintenance schedule or life span of major components to explain it.

    I do however agree that the 6940 is a lot of $$$ for a little bit of gain when compared to the 6920 and 6720.

    Cool, those are all moot points.

    When you look at the rifle's QA/QC, materials, and track record, then that's all you really need to go by.

    Ok. Colt does more testing and has more QA, as well as better parts. At least that was the case last I checked. I'm not going to list details as it's been done in previous threads.

    Accuracy is not usually the main selling point of an m4. Almost any ar with a tight bbl will post acceptable groups, and plenty of shitty ars post tight groups.

    How about better QA/QC, accuracy, etc...? Guess how many times myself and others have seen S&W barrel nuts, not torqued properly? The 6940 is a tack driver and will outshoot an S&W any day of the week.

    Alas, it will fall on deaf ears since you will poo poo anything Colt.

    Actual usage is a moot point? That's an interesting perspective.

    That's exactly my point, how many?

    No, it's an empirical perspective.

    How about the last 3? Or the oversized gas ports, etc...

    In the context of this conversation, that boils down to no experience required as long as you say the right things.

    Nobody wants to talk about real world differences, just stuff they can read and repeat online. I've got about 14k through my two ARs, which cost me about $40 in preventative maintenance. That gives a different perspective than someone who has spent years reading about most of the stuff brought up in this thread.

    And that's a worthwhile point of discussion. I'm rarely "poo pooing" (your words, not mine) any specific gun. I just don't see the value in people saying things without some type of experience behind it.
