What is with all the new Colt models?  Any opinions?
 



I have not been in the market for a while and it seems that Colt has really jumped in with lots of models.

Pretty sure they lost a portion of their .mil contracts and now have to actually market rifles to the general public. The general public demands variety.

Different models to serve different needs.  Next question!

Yep. Variety is the spice of life or something like that.

Prices have been coming down also which is awful because my safe is getting hard to close these days

and some Colt's aren't Colt's at all, just badged 3rd party manufactured Colt, like the 6900



(funky roll mark and integral trigger guard's a dead giveaway it's a wannabe.)

and yeah, as the military doesn't ride the waves of fashion, Colt's didn't have to bend and flow with what's "hip", or "hot" this week to sell them.

to sell retail, you gotta give em what they want, no matter what..

6920 LE is the civilian version and the most popular.  As others have said, depends of what you need and planned use is.  Are you looking for a light weight or standard configuration, etc..
