    Ken would be the person to do it. The work I saw at the shop is incredibly clean. There ain't no Sons of Guns hill-billy shit happening there.

    Just couldn't cut on the barrel of such an accurate gun.

    No doubt they'd do it good... but the gun is just such a shooter, he couldn't mess with it... barrel harmonics or whatever...

    And the sad part about it is they have a monolith in a 12" length for a full size rifle.

    They just need to cut it down for the 10" and 9" rails.

    It is pretty solid I think.

    Mine locks up pretty solid. No complaints.

    I have glass on it, and just use the FS for what it is designed as, a BUIS. It stays in the folded position, out of the way. It does not look that cool in the 'limp" position though... I will admit to this. I did not buy this for looks though.

    This Colt seems to be pretty controversial. People either seem to love it, or hate it. I love mine, and would buy again in a heartbeat had I a do over. Dang, Grant... I wish that special was around when I picked mine up.

    At the end of the day, whether it's the -20 or -40, they are both Colt. 'Nuff said. Get the one that you think suits YOU best.

    They could be offering this right now in 12" and with intermediate lengths (9" and 10")

    Use government and LW profile barrels with DD/USGI/MK18MOD1 gas blocks.

    Get your ass back here. I still have that Bravo lower you built up for me on the gun with the UBR. The Colt lower is on one of my SBR's because the weight balances better. We've just been running to the range and shooting because its 115 degrees and setting up targets and the whole deal is too much. By Sept, it should be Maricopa blasting time again.

    Front sight is rock solid. It folds down but not as low as other folding sights. I have a Surefire on it that is partially blocked, but still works fine.

    1.5 inch groups with an EOtech, makes sense. We can shoot sub-moa with a 4X ACOG at 100 yards. A RDS vs 4X Crosshairs is no comparison.

    If I was looking to change stuff around, the 6940 is too proprietary, but if you want a solid Monolithic AR, its quite a nice gun.

    Agree 100% with Mr. Ryan, EXCEPT that I don't mind the 6940 flip up front sight as an option for folks who prefer barrel mounted front sights to rail mounted ones.
