Colt 6933 Semi-auto LE "Commando": Pics and News (Page 18 of 19)
|
In case anyone wanted to know the gas port size it’s .074 on new production barrels. Attached File |
| Interesting, I bought in 2016 from G&R Tactical a Colt M4 LE6933CK Commando Upper Receiver Assembly - 11.5" Barrel Chrome Lined, A2 F market Front Sight, M16 Bolt Assembly , Double M4 HG - MaTech Rear Sight (all in a genuine Colt box) and the gas port was given at 0.070". Never checked it though. Paid $650.00 (corrected) |

Never checked it though. Paid $550.00. I would be very surprised if it was .070, older 6933’s were even bigger .76-.078. I bought this barrel from G&R last month nib. My FBI 11.5 measured .0695 |

I don't doubt your measurement. Other suppliers (AP, Brownells) of 11.5" barrels are more in the 0.073" realm I think this is how I concluded 0.070" https://www.ar15.com/forums/Industry/Colt-LE6933-11-5-inch-Commando-Barrel-Gas-Port-Diameter-/29-287955/ |

Here are some interesting links - looks like 0.074" is right on! https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?197085-Gas-Port-Data and real data https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tXunBDX5Gaz87BqxwNxDUlWNK9nEv-cZEQoLq2JXXrk/edit#gid=766121382 |

Just received a Colt 6933 upper receiver from Brownells today. They had the upper on sale for $459 I believe a few weeks back. No BCG or CH. No C stamp on barrel or upper. It has the Square forge mark and a cage code. But no C. You guys see New ones these yet? Sorry if this has been discussed already. |
|
Got my 6933 out today. And made me think. M4 or CAR handguards? And where can I get CAR hand guards that feel smooth and look semi shiny. The ones I got look and fit well, but don't feel smooth and not shiny like the handguards from my XM177E2 reissue. Thanks all. |

Finally going Full Commando. Swapping all the goodies over to the commando and painting. Attached File |

The wait begins. CR serial lower with QR on magwell, CAGE code marked stock and upper receiver (couldn't see if on the CH), C marked BCG with very faint stamped MPC on bolt. Attached File |

I even bought a new CR6920 the other day and am not a fan of the new marking. Also my contribution. What’s better than a Colt 11.5” carbine? Two of them! Switched my 10.3” upper out for another 11.5 colt upper from Brownells. $500ish and they sent me a $50 gift card with it.

Its to late for the boots, save your watch!
I think I finally have my 6933 dialed in.  The biggest negative to a carbine with the FSB is handguard space. Using the M-LOK slots to mount the light and QD socket really cramped the handguard. I installed an IWC TMC scout light mount and IWC QD socket in the handguard. It’s a night and day difference. The light is an Arisaka 300 with a Malkoff E1HT head. Perfect setup for an SBR. |

| Keeping it alive…6933 best yet, but working on a MK18 upper swap. Thoughts 😁 |

For posterity before everything gets thrown on it. Within a week of a full year for approval on my trust. This was the last paper file I will do. A SOCOM556 RC2 was approved on my trust via efile in 88 days last month.  Attached File |

Or better yet, a carry handle. |
My LE6933 is out of jail. Swapped out the magpul for a KAC sight I had laying around. Probably going to put a T2 on it and let it be for a long time. I have 2 other SBRs with all the gadgets going to keep this one light and basic looking.

Got my 6933 approved last week. Dropped a Holosun AEMS on it. Attached File Made a few changes, almost feel bad swapping parts around. ASR flash hider mount, Hyperfire trigger, Radian charging handle and TLR VIR light/laser. Attached File Hopefully I'll get it sighted in tonight. |
