As I previously posted I am probably going to get a CR6720 for coyote hunting.  I have read on other forums (varmit hunting forums ) that they are not worth the money since the new Colts parts cannot be interchanged with other type AR platforms.  Only Colt parts.  Also, I have read Colt has gone to larger holes for pins and such...is this true ? Currenty I have a LE6940 and really enjoy it.  It is my first AR and the reason I picked Colt was their quality and resale value.  Could someone educate me on the newer Colts that a layman on Colts can understand.  Thanks in advance !

False.  New Colts, 2009ish to present, have standard fire control group pins, and pivot pins have been standard for a while.

almost everything you heard is wrong.   the cr6720 uses all standard parts. only the older models  before 09 used  a few larger parts, and that was some fire control parts and a very long time ago, the front pivot pin

everything else can be swapped around, though you  would not reallt need to unless you wanted a new barrel or matc trigger


I have a cr6724 and its awesome.  1/2 moa   reliably and i use it to shoot to 1000 yards occasionally with 77 grain sierra  match kinds handloads,   but i think i would like the model you metion better if i was carrying it around hunting with it,  and i will get one after i pick up a sp901
