Free floated rail, not a drop in. CHF barrel. Better fit, finish and QC, not to mention customer service. The Colt is a fine rifle. The DD is better. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Wow, fantastic deal regardless of the drop in. If it is the older model with a KAC, then it is a hell of a deal. Damn it. I already have a 6920 and am picking up a new DDM4 V11 from my FFL tomorrow. Must resist. Must resist. Quoted:
Old stock? I thought colt moved away from the KAC rail and came with the magpul back ups now? Last that I had heard (admittedly, some time ago), they had switched from KAC to Troy rails. No worries for you. That DDM4 is twice the gun the Colt is. So because the DDM4 has a different handguard and gas port length, it is "twice the gun" as the Colt? 
Free floated rail, not a drop in. CHF barrel. Better fit, finish and QC, not to mention customer service. The Colt is a fine rifle. The DD is better. Because a barrel is made through CHF, doesn't make it a better barrel. Better fit? All the parts are built to the same tolerances and "fit" exactly the same. I'll give you the free float rail can be a nice feature, and the finish might be slightly prettier. That doesn't make it a vastly superior weapon, and customer service doesn't make a gun better either. I've never had to deal with DD's customer service so can't say how it is, though I've never had a problem with Colt's either.

Stop arguing with yourself and go start the thousandth DD vs. Colt thread of the week over in the AR Discussions section if you want to start a pissing match.... |

Sometimes I get hung up on little things... I was noticing on the label in the ad, that the box was labeled "LE6920SCMRK." All the other 6920SOCOM rifles I'd seen up to this point showed the LE6920SOCOM designation. I fully admit that I'm NO EXPERT on these things, but I thought it was noteworthy.
I was starting to get worried, then I noticed that GunBuyer.com was nice enough to explain the model number below the picture, it was just too small for me to see, until I looked REALLY hard! 
I also found it interesting that on the box label that Colt is now designating it as M4 CARBINE, SEMI-AUTO (2013 Config.). I think the box label clarification is a good thing and I'm glad Colt has taken the time to better clarify the product they are selling. By their updated marking, I'd guess it foretells of possible changes in the model line life cycle? |

I think he was telling it to me. I am really worried about it.
Literally, the fit of the upper and lower is tighter and cleaner on the DD. Just feels more solid. The stray paint marks on the Colt stick out like a sore thumb too. But, this thread IS about the good deal posted. |

Thanks for posting that; I was wondering about the SCMRK marking too and didn't notice the little legend. I used their "live chat" and asked about KAC versus Troy. The guy (Joe) said KAC. I also asked if they're still marked M4A1 versus M4 Carbine. He said they are M4A1 so I pulled the trigger. I was kind of hesitant because I've never heard of GunBuyer but I'll give them a shot. Thanks for the heads up OP. |

It really is an insane deal. Regular 6920s rarely sell for $900 shipped. They must really have a surplus of them they're trying to blow out to be selling them that low. You could even take off the knight's rail, if it's not your cup of tea, sell it for around $200 and have a $700 NIB Colt.

Kind of strange they don't accept money orders of any kind. Probably have had a lot of orders submitted in the past that they held product for waiting for the check or money order to show up, only to have the customer never follow through. You can't sell that product for a long time because, as soon as you do, inevitably the customer comes through with payment and wants their product and you better have it available to ship. If you continue to hold out longer and longer for payment to show up, inevitably it never does. It happens far more often than not. I worked in the firearm industry before and dealt with this frustration. I don't blame them for deciding to avoid transactions entirely that can't be completed immediately like a credit card transaction can. It sucks for honest and reliable customers, but it's purely business. |
