Scored a Colt 6920 Magpul SL edition

I got it "Used"... $650


If it has more than the factory test firing through it, I would be surprised. There is no wear anywhere.

Looks like it was bought new, and then sat in a safe untouched.

Been wanting a Colt... just because "Colt".

It's a good little basic carbine. Not sure if I am going to put on a red dot or not.

Edit... To correct the fat fingering of the model number... It is a 6920.

Nice score!

If not a red dot, I like the look with a carry handle myself

Isn't that a 6920 with the fixed front post sight?

Yes it's a 6920. The 6940 has a monolithic upper and handguard. Still great deal at that price.

You have plenty of rifles with optics. I would have this as your "keep it simple" AR. That's what I was going to do with my 6720. Lightweight ,iron sights only. Lasted about a month then I slapped an eotech on it.
Congrats on your new pony.

Just needs a BAD lever, Noveske STS and a trigger and it's done.

And a BCM charging handle...

I am thinking I will keep this one fairly simple.

Though, I do think I need a better iron sight. The MBUS is fine as a backup, but not the best as a primary sight.

A fixed sight would be cool on that.

The Mbus Pro is also nice. Since there's so much Magpul on there already.

I like the mbus pro sights... But I am thinking a fixed sight if it is to be the only sight on the rifle.

And yeah, I do think it was an awesome deal. I am very happy with it.
