    So what parts of a Colt 6920 does Colt actually manufacture these days?

    Same. I've got a 6960 NIB that I bought around the same time as my Sionics a few years ago and the Sionics gets all of the range time. I'm not actively trying to get rid of it, but if I can double my money on it after the election, I'd probably sell it. I still have a Colt lower and Colt SOCOM for ponies.

    I have only installed one too but it was trivially easy. Midwest Industries Combat Rail Lightweight.

    Centurion Arms rail systems are the way to go. Easy peasy.

    Did you have to pull the front sight and remove the Delta ring?
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    No, I assembled this upper from parts. Now I understand your reluctance. There are two piece FF rails that do not require pulling the front sight but still require removal of the delta ring and weld spring. https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com...loat-s/327.htm

    Yeah it was probably 10 years ago and I think it was a Viking rail. Seemed simple but man what an actual PITA. But once complete, it was really nice.

    I have a carbine built around a Colt SOCOM 14.5" barrel (with an 80% lower ). I like the BCM MCMR (M-LOK) Handguard. It's FF, lightweight, and a comfortably smaller diameter than quad rails. I have several of them.

    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.
    Here's where using your head helps. Never spend more than you're willing to loose. Since I'm not willing to loose anything there are very few things I buy at a gun show and absolutely nothing from anyone without a LOCAL business address unless it's something under $25.

    Been going to gun shows for decades and only ever bought 2 guns. One new DD M4V and one NIB with all accessories MAS 49/56.

    I see people always go crazy over guns and ammo. Loose their damn minds. Never made sense to me

    LOL. In the late 90's I had one that I sent off to a guy in Shotgun News who did .308 conversions so they'd take FN-FAL mags. No issues in the limited shooting I did with it. Ended up selling it to a friend of mine.

    As far as unscrupulous sellers swapping parts.....that is one reason why when Colt stopped marking BCG's it made me wary. Someone at a gun shop who was actually gun-savvy (but a crooked dirtbag) could easily pull the Colt out and slap a friggin' DPMS in there.
