The best thing the 6940 has going for it is the removable bottom rail for exterior barrel cleaning when compared to other monoliths.
Other than that, I really can't get excited about it.

Other than the short length of the rail, I don't see why this is a bad option. It's Colt quality. The rifle would serve just about everyone fine. In fact, hats off to Colt for even producing a new monolithic rail platform gun since Colt has always been known to have been stubborn to not make what the consumer wants. Now if they'll only make a 6720 with an extended rail with a mid-length gas system......
I'm with Rob on this one. I'd love to have a 6940 with say a 11.5" barrel.

how solid is the front sight? how is it deployed? thanks!
They had the chance to completely take over the monolith market and blew it.
The rail only comes in one length . It has no anti rotation female sling sockets at the rear of the handguard. It also isn't compatible with KAC panels.
They need to make it in 7", 9", 10", and 12" lengths and have the tools available to change the barrel. Make barrel lengths available in 10.3", 11.5", 14.5", 16", and 20".
Then they would have total control over the monolith market as this set up would have no competition.
