Just curious but why is the Colt 6920 seem to be more popular than other Colt models? Is it only because it's the closest a to a M4 or are there other reasons? If you could only own one Colt other than the 6920 what would it be?
-Please don't start any brand wars as I am ONLY curious as it relates to the different Colt models. Thanks! |

I can only tell you my reasons for going with the 6920. 16" barrel, I think is just the right size. 1 in 7 barrel twist improves accuracy. 5.56 (NATO) chamber which also allows use of 223 remington ammo. while the 223 does not allow use of the 5.56. A3 upper. +1 and, to add......IT'S a COLT! |
I like all the Colts, although the 6520 would be my next choice for it's simplicity and light weight. Plus 6520 also has "AR-15 A2 Gov't Carbine" rollmarks and also a 1/7 twist chrome bore barrel with M4 feedramps. I think I'll be using the 6721 I have coming in for predator / coyote type hunting, even though I don't hunt much I wanted to get every Colt LE model before the politicians trample our rights.

Thanks for the responses everyone....looks like my original assumption was right and it seems it's mostly due to it being the closest to an M4. I still wouldn't mind having any of them though
