    I've shot some great 5 shot groups, consistently wit certain ammo, but 10s always open up significantly. I don't think anyone is (shouldnt) take this as the gun is capable of sub moa all day long, but it's good, and you can be good if you practice and stop worrying about hardware "upgrades".

    At least that's my take.

    Buy right, know what you're doing, and life is boring and uneventful in the most delightful of ways

    You shouldn't view it as a negative. You are the only person who knows the groups, equipment and situations under which you were shooting.

If you fired that group, it is remarkable shooting, especially as I previously noted. If you do the match with what the barrel is known to be good for, as well as what the ammo is known to be good for, what you stated is possible. Barely, but it is possible.

    I have fired drills that people have said were impossible based on number of rounds and some other mandatory manipulations and times. I haven't bothered trying to argue the point with people, I let them get schooled by other people who witnessed my shootings and drills. I recently posted in my forum here about Project Reject, which is about a barrel returned due to lack of accuracy. People are free to come argue how well the barrel does or doesn't shoot, I'm not worried about it either way.

    FWIW, I edited my post. I didn't realize how preachy it sounded. I need to stop posting on M4C after happy hours! I do enjoy the criticism that M4C brings to be frank. No sweat.

    Thanks for the reply Stick.

    Aye!

    The Colt 6920 was my first foray into the AR wonderland thanks in part to the knowledgable scalawags.

    I have zero pictures/evidence, but a friend of mine shot sub MOA groups with an inherited 1960s Marlin lever action, that we both felt should have been impossible.

    If I wasn't there to personally witness it, I would have never believed it.

    We were zeroing up for a hog hunting trip, and he, on a wild hair, decided he was going to take the Marlin along instead of his AR.

    What was even more impressive was the fact that after establishing zero, he loaded up some cheap Core Lokt and the previously acceptable ~2MOA he was getting from "match ammo" proceeded to shrink significantly.

    On paper, none, absolutely none of the above should have happened.

    I don't need to see a video to know what a Colt 6920, in the hands of a competent shooter can do from a bench at 100 yds.

    I have a few of the latest and greatest mid length guns with m-lok (currently using a DD V7LW as a Patrol Rifle). But each of my kids and step-kids are/were given a Colt 6920. The only difference between the OP's gun and the set up for my kids is the hand guard. I tried one of MagPUl's MOE SL hand guards when they came out. I liked them so much that I put them on all of the 6920's. Pain to install, but really changes the feel and looks of the gun. While I was at it, I put the MagPul MOE SL stocks on them also.

    It's easy for gun enthusiasts talking to each other on the internet to look at a gun such as the 6920 as outdated. A fixed front sight? Carbine length gas system paired with a 16" barrel? But for a non-enthusiast, the 6920 when properly outfitted like the OP did with his, makes a lot of sense.

    All of my kids/step-kids can shoot. Not all of them are interested in shooting as a hobby and not all of them have jobs requiring them to be armed. For them, a Colt 6920 makes a lot of sense.
