Colt 6920 Daily Deal at Palmetto

I just want an extra to freefloat and shoot.

Go 6940.

Might be wrong, but I think the OP was suggesting the PSA might pull all the Colt internals and replace them with China mart parts, a very common gunshow practice that allows you to offer amazing "deals" and then you sell the genuine Colt parts online.

I took the OP’s post as sarcasm, aimed directly at those who are suspicious of everything that PSA sells.
It wasn’t clear.

No it wasn’t. I’ve bought stuff from PSA before but they are not my first choice. A Colt rifle still commands a healthy price and harvesting it doesn’t make much sense.

Exactly correct. If I had a nickel for every bullshit, no evidence claim, by brand haters, that PSA rifles are full of Chinesium parts I'd own Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.

Nah. They are neat, but the handguard is too short. I’d rather a 6920 with a Geissele mk8, mk14, or mk16.

I just prefer the front sight setup. Didn't notice the handguard being any shorter but I believe you. With a VFG it doesn't matter to me. But I've installed ONE free float handguard and while it wasn't horrible, it was a never again moment.

Also 100% Colt pedigree works for me. I know gas port sizes for barrel length (I actually have a 6945) will be correct and all that fun stuff.

Doesn't have to make sense but I've seen it enough times. Soon as the ban sunsetted and 6920s and 6520s hit the gun shows I'd sometimes pop one open to find it full of Model 1 Sales parts. And even if you called the guy on it, it's ALL mil spec so it's the same thing dude.

Same dickheads who used to pull the aluminum stocks off of Colt CAR-15 rifles and replace them with plastic and then tell you how the plastic was more durable if you noticed.

I would tend to think a reputable dealer like PSA would be above such shenanigans. However, I'm not surprised at what you encountered since the level of "Bubba's Live Bait Shop and Basement Gunsmithing" types have always been present at shows, but seems to have exploded in recent years.

I hope (but will not hold my breath) that seeing Colt 6920s out and about and available will shut the bozos up who were screaming bloody murder about Colt's announcement that they were temporarily ceasing civilian AR production, to focus on contract work for the government, etc.

In my opinion, I still think the Colt 6920 is a great choice for a first AR.

I did that with a 6920 I bought a few years back. Put a LP gas block on and added a DD M4 RIS II. Sweet carbine.
