Outfit a Colt 6920??

[supertac]

Aimpoint M2 on a Larue mount or Eotech 512 will work fine. I suggest trying both out first. The view is quite different.

I would also suggest a single point sling and BUIS.

You'll figure out what you need from there.



My Builds:

1) LE6920 ---------------- I chose the KAC RAS, tdown forward grip, Surefire Scout Light, Magpul MIAD, Magpul CTR, Eotech 512, and ARMS #40L BUIS

2) LE6921 ---------------- Standard Detach Carry handle, standard M4 handguard, Magpul MIAD, Magpul CTR (my KISS build)

3) LE6921SOCOM ------- Troy 10" MRF MX rail, chopped fsb, Aimpoint M2 on a 129 mount, Surefire M951, forward grip, Magpul MIAD, Magpul CTR, ARMS #40 BUIS

Single point sling on all 3. I love Magpul furniture as you can tell.



aaaand about 4k rounds of ammo left.

Ammo is always a good way to compliment a rifle.

All the cool stuff in the world doesn't do you any good unless you are proficient with the rifle. A 22LR conversion kit goes a long way towards this as well.

I checked the Vickers site. The sling is clearly far superior to the stock sling provided with the Colt.

I haven't had the opportunity to use a 2MOA red dot yet. I hadn't considered that it might be difficult to use in bright daylight. The smallest I've used is a 5MOA and it made bullseye paper target hits difficult.

I use the Comp M3 with the 2 MOA dot in the bright sunshine of Colorado with no problems. Usually it is set one click below max brightness for outdoor, and 2below max for indoor. The max brightness setting is VERY bright. I find it to be just as fast at CQB as my 6MOA EOTech was.

I'm not sold on the integrated Comp M4 mount yet as there have been reported problems, and prefer LaRue over any other alternative.

Get the Comp C3 if you don't need night vision or to go more than 15' below the surface if submerged. You will save about a $100 and can use that to buy a Larue LT-150. Heck, just send the upper to Grant and have him outfit you with the Larue rail, Aimpont, mount, Vickers 2 point and light. One stop shopping + he would probably make you a screaming deal on the full set up.

I assume "Grant" is the person or company to talk to if I decide to have the modifications done by someone else.

Who is he and how do I get in contact with him?

I appreciate all the great advice....I'm going to go with a LaRue mount, probably a Comp 3 (2MOA) and I still haven't decided on the front rail. I really like the Knight M4 RAS it just quite expensive. I haven't found a used one. (see sgtlmj's pic above...AWESOME...Thats ultimatley the outfit I'd like to have).

Had a BLAST this morning getting rid of a few left over halloween pumpkins!

By the way, I just purchased 500 rounds of "Black Hills Ammunition Remanufactured .223 Remington 55 Gr. Soft Point" for 179.00 dollars. Is this satisfactory for training with the Colt 6920? Hopefully it's not too dirty and/or won't do any damage to the rifle.

Thanks again everyone!!

Grant is half of http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...i?display=home G&R Tactical. He's the one I buy all my AR stuff from and one of the guys that runs this site.

Black Hills Ammo is excellent.

Comp Cs have no resale value and are not built as tough and I would never own one, even if I didn't have night vision or go in the water.

In that case, do you know where I can find a used one?

Nope and I don't even think they come in matte black.

It may be just the way I'm reading his post, but the Director of Military Biz for Aimpoint seems to disagree with your statement...
