Posted: 7/3/2005 6:30:01 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Does anyone have a pic of the insides of a new LE6920? I wanna know if it has that sear block thingy. Also, does the LE 6920 have the goofy front takedown pin that looks like a screw, or is it like the ones on the M16 (I only want the lower and don't know what type of upper i want to get and wanna make sure it will be compatible.) I want a NEW colt lower. What are my options other than the LE6920, if that's even an option considering what i'm looking for? Thanks!

It has the mil-spec small captive pivot pin.

Posted: 7/3/2005 10:06:05 PM how much bigger are these fire control pins? Are we talkin only colt makes these size pins? is it hard to find replacement pins if one breaks? What else on the rifle cannot be interchanged with other brand parts? Thanks for the pics! Not exactly what I was hoping to see, but i can live with the way it looks. the middle pic is what i was wanting to avoid... This will be my first and prolly only Colt. I just want it for the name. I've shot plenty in the USMC, and they seem like fine weapons, but nothing i haven't seen out of cheaper copies... Thanks again!

Colt factory pins are easy to find and other manufacturers make them as well. Even Bushmaster carries the .170 pins. Every other part on the rifle is interchangeable.

They are big enough where nothing else off the shelf will fit, and while Bushie and Colt make the size, they are not anywhere as easy to pick up if you are at the range or stuck someone where and something goes down. If this is a concern, keep a spare Lower Parts Kit in with your equipment. These pieces do not break or wear out often, but it doesn't mean they are immune from issues. As far as other parts that don't interchange, the Fire Control Group is about it. Overall, its a very good weapon.
