Need an opinion. COLT LE6920 BCG. How does this look? Wanting to trade a brand new Daniel Defense BCG for a factory COLT unit and the offer I got for this one.

Swapping all of my stuff over to full on COLT so I really don't want to the big DD laser engravings. If it wasn't marked, I wouldn't care but I'm being a picky bitch. Trying to decide if I should just sell my DD BCG and buy a new COLT or if a trade for this one would be decent. I know bolts are a wearable item over time so I wanted an opinion of the guys who know COLT parts! :) http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz135/556man1/0405151300a_zpseaczcshx.jpg http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz135/556man1/0405151300_zpsjtxnibro.jpg I would want to see the cam pin bolt lugs and exctractor to better give an opinion. The carrier contact surfaces look ok except the rear end of the lower looks either worn to piss or just a bad pic. Would love to see a close up of the all the contact surfaces though. Either way you would want to replace rings and the extractor goodies on any used BCG unless they are like new, right.

Probably the most important part in determining wear IMO. |

OK! I will ask! :)
I've never owned an AR long enough that any of this has been an issue so I don't know what to look for. Owner says 900~1000 rounds on it though. Asked to see the above mentioned things. |

Do I win anything yet? Might not be as cool that that ones guys FA COLT BLOCK II but damnit, I'm getting there! Also we are going to ignore the fact that EXPS3-0 is Black because I got it for $375.00 dollars, it was brand new. I get a free pass because I have an EXPS3-0TAN and G33 TAN on another rifle, I just didn't want to loose the zero on that rifle yet. Going to flip-flop the optics here shortly.
I've got another SOPMOD on the way. I ordered a B5 in Coyote Brown as it's closer to the color of the LMT than the B5 FDE stock. I do plan to track down an actual LMT though. Even though these come with Gen 1's, I would like another LMT Gen 2 in FDE. I had one for a while I should have never sold.  |

How are the Elcan SpecterDR owners enjoying their optics? Anyone get one and then end up selling? If so what were your reasons for selling. For people that like it, how is it as a do everything sight, and is there anything that you feel you are missing out on compared to other optics? Thanks a lot. I'm finally picking up my DD M4A1 this week, I got my KAC sights standing by, and looking at optics...

I've seen multiple people in this thread mention selling them to fund another whole rifle build! :) |

I have not shot with it yet just putting my eyeballs through it and I really like the insta x4 magnification. I have two other setups, one with a Mark 4 and the other with the Aimpoint T1. This one kinda fits the in between as far as purposes go. |

I haven't got to actually shoot with my Elcan yet, as it came in just before I had to go offshore again(along with my suppressors), but just messing with it around the house, I like it. It is hard to spend that kind of money, but you get what you pay for, from what I can tell.

The near "bombproof" durability, excellent glass, useful reticle, extremely bright illumination, and relatively small package cannot be rivaled by just about anything out there for less. If I were to start selling optics, my Elcan would be one of the last to go. |

If I were to start selling optics, my Elcan would be one of the last to go. In its class, the ELCAN is hard to beat. An ACOG with a piggy backed RMR or reflex is a nice compromise if you want magnification and a BDC. If your shooting is going to keep you inside of 300-400 meters, I think an exps-3/g33 combo is the best bang for your buck to do it all. I love mine, and it won't break the bank. Removing the magnifier is also a big win if I want to save some weight. All that being said, if the world ended and I had to choose one optic, the ELCAN would be it. Kill the battery, destroy the mrds on top (if you have one) by throwing it off a mountain, pick it back up and still have an etched BDC reticle. Hard to beat. Just sell one of your extra ARs to fund one.... ;) the more I shoot, the more I want less rifles and more of a "kit" of optics and parts to run on a single gun... A la mk18/block 2 combo |

I would have kept it but I wanted to put new suspension and tires on my truck. Speaking of which, I need an optic for my rifle now. Torn between a T2 in an ADM tall mount, and the EXPS3-0. Thoughts? Never owned an Eotech but from what I've read the new XPS models are very good. Loved my Aimpoint PRO and H1 2 moa. |

I was just sitting here thinking and I have a question. Why do the COLT SOCOM and SOCOM II rifles come with a 4 position buffer tube and not one of the 6 position units?
The 4 position unit with the LE stock isn't so bad but with the SOPMOD stock the first position is too far back for me. I assume some of the other COLT rifles use 6 position tube correct? |

I can't be entirely sure, but my issue (standard) M4 has a 4 position tube. I'm assuming the M4A1's (.mil issue) come the same way. Hell, does Colt even manufacture 6 position tubes? |

I'm going to end up sending this upper in to ADCO to have the SOCOM profile barrel installed with a pinned gas block and pinned/welded FH. Not sure which FH I'll go with yet. I'm going to try to find a DD bolt up barrel nut first. I'd like to keep the DD barrel assembly from the upper intact in order to sell it off. If anybody here has a barrel nut they're willing to sell or knows of anywhere I can find one let me know. So far it's just a DD M4A1 URG with a plan to have the BCM SOCOM barrel installed. The stock will change to a B5 at some point. The cheapo red dot will be replaced. |

We put this together this afternoon. 14.5" SOCOM heavy bbl and DD M4A1 RIS II FSB rail. Thing is definitely muzzle heavy and that's without adding the SF FMBSC flash hinder. I like the balance better with the standard barrel.

Not sure which FH I'll go with yet. I'm going to try to find a DD bolt up barrel nut first. I'd like to keep the DD barrel assembly from the upper intact in order to sell it off. If anybody here has a barrel nut they're willing to sell or knows of anywhere I can find one let me know. So far it's just a DD M4A1 URG with a plan to have the BCM SOCOM barrel installed. The stock will change to a B5 at some point. The cheapo red dot will be replaced. Contact DD's support themselves. They can either sell or hook you up with one! |

I do know there is no difference between Colt carbine buffer tubes that come on service rifles or civilian rifles. I remember Augee telling somebody this, he worded it much better than I can, but in a nutshell he said there is zero difference, and it is just by chance if a Colt tube ends up on either a civi or mil rifle. Of course Colt tubes come on Colt M4's, but as for what certain branches would use for replacements I'm not positive. It would also be interesting to see who's tubes end up on an FN M4A1 |

Someone mentioned in this thread that CMT makes COLT tubes and someone else said that was wrong and that COLT does there own in-house from forgings so who knows.
I would just like to get the stock one notch more forward and keep the M4A1 lower is close to "clone" correct as possible. I think I'm finally doing it right!  |

No no, KillerB6 just said they got in a batch of Black SU-231a's! It's clone correct now! Also mounted it per NYPD SWAT spec. ;) I'm just surprised you didn't mention the forward sling point that I made out of a D-Ring from a dog collar and 3 zip-ties. I was in a rush, I was going hog hunting and I can't find my CQD.  |

Laser radiation directly into your eyeball! Even though it would be pretty well diffused by the time it gets there. I wonder how long it would take to fry an eyeball if the protective housing was removed. Probably 0.752 seconds

I'm guessing he means the 215a or whatever it's called. I mistakenly put one on my fsp build thinking it was correct  .
