    While making your decision, here is the best $ 20 investment

    I am new to the AR world, so if I may offer a suggestion, buy the Brownells DVD that shows how to build an AR series rifle. The presenter is a former military armorer that explains the entire process. He shows the tools and procedures required.

    The DVD is on sale now for $ 20 plus small package shipping from Brownells. The title is "How to Build an AR". The item number is 080-000-587. It is 130 minutes long.

    After watching it a few times, I ordered a complete factory assembled rifle from one of the recommended brands mentioned often here.

    Good Luck.

    Hey everyone, sorry for reviving an old thread, but since it was my thread and this is possibly the next step in my journey, I figured I would add it here.

    I've still been doing my research and sitting by reading all of the posts here. I decided after more research from my first post that I was going to purchase my AR instead of build as I was advised by some of the members here. I was pretty set on a Daniel Defense. I like their product, it seems reliable around the forum here, and they offer a pretty nice military price. Today a deal popped up for a Colt MOE (LE6720MP-FDE) on (not sure if I can link to it from here or if it is a welcome site) KY gun co. It's a deal of the week so I don't want to miss out on it, but I don't want to jump the gun and not be 100% satisfied. It would be about $300 cheaper than the DD M4 I am looking at here, but that doesn't come with any sights.

    Just wondering if anyone has any opinion. If I am allowed to link to the other one, I'll link for more info.

    I know both of these manufacturers are highly regarded here, so wanted to see if anyone has any experience that would sway from one to the other. Thanks in advance for any input.


    EDIT:
    Forgot to mention that I would like to future proof it for a possible sight down the road and don't know how well that will mount with the colt set up the way it is with the fixed front sight post and small rail section.

    I'd buy the Colt and use the saved $300 on a case of ammo.

    I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Colt.
    BTW, is I a model 6920MP? You stated that it is a 6720MP, which I am not aware that they make.
    Either way, snap it up while it is on sale.

    Yeah, I was confused by that as well. The site definitely says 6720, which was part of my reluctance. Not sure if that is a lower model rifle or not. That was one of the questions I forgot to ask. This is the model number it shows: (And I have never seen "LT" either)
    Manufacturer Number LT6720MPFDE

    But it looks identical to the LE6920MP-FDE that is listed on the colt webpage I linked to previously.

    If you can get a deal on the colt jump on it, buy the ammo like Polymorpheous said and shoot the piss out of it! Then shoot it some more........

    The 6720 is also a high quality gun, its just the lightweight version of the standard Colt LEM4. It can easily be identified by its thin ( pencil ) barrel vs the 6920 with the M4 profile barrel and M203 cut. AFAIK they do not make a Magpul version of the 6720 ( as stated above ) so you are probably looking at buying the 6920.

    Here is a link to G&R tactical 6720 so you can compare. Grant has a good price and this carbine also comes highly recommended.......

    Maybe that dealer put Magpul furniture on a 6720 and then gave it their own name? In any case it's been 4 months and I would pull the trigger now before the real shenanigans breaks loose.

    That's what I'm beginning to think. And starting to wonder if it is as good of a deal as if it was the standard LE6920mp.

    Is that a 6720 in that picture?

    So apparently it is a 6720 that the deal is for (if this is the right thing I found. It's in their 2012 catalog on page 38)....



    Seeing as they are both colt and that I am not very sure of their differences amongst the models, If you guys were to buy one, would you go with this "Limited Edition" Talo 6720 with the Magpul furniture, or would you pay $50 more for a true LE6920MP(actually the same price since I don't care about the furniture color and can go all black for cheaper)? Sorry for all of the questions, I just don't want to go wrong here. The only differences I can find are that the 6720 is a LW barrel whereas the 6920 is not.

    That's the 6720 alright.
    Buy it if you can.
    I wish I could!
