    Recommended. Its a Colt, it will run, I don't own one, but I would pick one up if I could find one.

Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

    Welcome to M4C. The Colt 6920 is considered the "standard" civilian carbine. The 6940 is the same weapon with a folding front sight vs fixed FSB for the 6920. So yeah, it is good to go.
    Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.

    They are a bit nose heavy, but otherwise a solid choice.

    The 6940 is not the same as a 6920.

    6940 is a monolithic, free floated upper. The 6920 is not.

    Get the rifle, get 2 if you can. I kick myself in the ass knowing I traded mine away. That was an absolutely scary accurate rifle.

    If the price isn’t stupid, get it. Like now. The bulky quadrail foreend is personally a turnoff for me but that’s just a personal preference.

    One of the best Colts ever built, and this from a 6920 fanboy.

    Its GTG, why do you have concern over purchasing one?
