    Alternative to Colt 6920

    After some research,I decided that I wanted a Colt 6920, primarily due to my perception that the Colt has a qualitative advantage in construction and materials. Today I learned that my state of residence, Connecticut, has banned this weapon. My understanding is that it's because of the flash suppressor and folding stock. What's my best alternative ?
    Can I purchase Quality parts without the egregious features and assemble something nice that will be legal in Connecticut ? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I would look into the used gun market to see if you could find a colt that was manufactured during the assault weapons ban. I remember they came without a flash supressor or any threads on the end of the barrel. One other thought would be to assemble your rifle from parts. I built a nice rifle using mostly Lewis Machine and Tool parts using a rock river arms lower reciever. If you can go this direction it might take a little longer to have a rifle. Building the rifle helps to ensure you can repair it if need be.

    Colt 6920 stocks do not fold, they telescope. The best option if you want an AR is to get one with a fixed stock and a barrel with no flash hider. I am pretty sure that Colt makes such a model.

    I believe that is called an HBAR Target model.

    They make or used to make a "match target" model of the 6920 known as the MT6400C, which was their PC term for neutered rifles and carbines during the federal ban (or what I refer to as "The Darkness").

    The MT6400C is actually a good gun that includes many of the important Colt build quality features, including a chrome lined bore that is lacking in the other "MT" line guns.

    Here is another thread on the comparison:

    Also, you might want to do some more research on the CT ban. I seem to remember that it has some enormous loopholes that allow you to get non-Colt guns or guns not labeled as "AR-15," but that are functionally identical. If so, get a lower from a reputable company and then put a Colt upper, bolt and carrier on it.

    I believe that the closest thing to a Colt 6920 that would be legal in CT would be the Colt MT6400C, which is made to resemble an M4 style weapon but has a muzzle brake rather than flash hider and has a fixed stock (though its made to LOOK like a normal collapsing M4 stock) and no bayonet lug.

    Like this, though you should certainly be able to find one cheaper than this:

    So you're telling me you would sell your home and uproot your family, say goodbye to your friends and seek new employment just so that you could own a particular gun. That's lunacy !
