[ARCHIVED THREAD] - THE OFFICAL COLT 6940 PICS THREAD / A close-up look at the Colt 6940 ! More pics w/ 6920 comparison (Page 2 of 4)

What is the going price for one of these right now ???? I have an opportunity to get one, just wondering if I'm getting a good deal...... 
Thanks The average seems to be about $2000 right now. If it's more than that don't buy it and just get one off gunbroker. |

Went to the range on Wed to sight in a 6920 and 6940(iron sights). Both fired 3x10 (wide 10 ring) shot groups at a standard SR-1 200 yd target
in rapid fire sit shooting M193 TW 73 ammunition. I was very happy, not to say surprised, with the results. Both worked flawlessly with 30 rd PMAGs which needed to be function tested too. |

Hell yeah! You'd be crazy if you could find one for that price and didn't pick it up. You'd basically be getting it for cheaper than what people are paying for a 6920 right now. |

So this is the Colt monolith upper AR? Didn't they say they're also working on a piston driven upper? It seems it would work perfect with the rails here. +1 Would seem to be a strategically timed released. When Colt releases a piston driven MRP type AR , i'll proudly bathe in the Kool-Aid, SOPMOD stock, MIAD grip and all! I'm not a fan of FSB/Gas Blocks that aren't protected underneath the HG. Especially for a duty weapon! But what do I know? I just know what I like and i'm a consumer. One single consumer.

Hmmm, I've been turned off in the past by the "koolaid drinker" mentality (which I think is a term that is quite overused BTW), but after seeing these pics and review, I kinda felt myself wanting one. ARRRGGGGG. I'll add a colt 6940 to the list of things to buy before I die, but I think if I ever do buy one, I'll just leave it in its completely original state. Leave everything the way it is, just to pay my homage to the all time provider of weapons to our american military men.
Nice rifle, nice pics, thanx for your time. |

I wonder if that notch in the rear lug of the upper was going to be some part of making the guns proprietary? You could have a matching raised area in the lower, and your lower would not be able to accept other brands of uppers. Hmm. . . Any thoughts? I dont believe so. |

Here's mine...........

Just picked up my 6940 on Wednesday. Happened to walk into Scottsdale Gun Club at the right time when I was on vacation. 
My two 6920's are jealous of their new roomate 
http://media.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=9437 I'd be jealous too! Close that dust cover, these things have a tendency to multiply. Dont want the 6920's getting in there and trying to breed.

When I picked up my new Colt in January I was surprised to see how much brass was on the bolt face. Bottom line is that smacks of quality control, a positive for Colt. Welcome to your new Pony, well done post Sabre. Noob, that is rust not brass. ITS RUST!!!1!!!! OH NOES!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!

| How solid is that bottom rail with a VFG mounted? If there's play in it, I'll be very irritated. This is the one issue that is making me hesitate. I don't care for the rear BUIS or the FSB, but those are both easily replaced. Movement in the 6 o'clock rail, not so much. |

Locks up rock solid. |
| shot a few of them last week. Nice rifle but nothing super special. Rail was solid as hell and so is the folding front sight. Id buy one but definitely not for $2000. MSRP sounds fair. Had a chance to switch from aimpoints to a few different acogs back and forth between them and they were suprisingly close to zeroed on both rifles. Thumbs up to colt for sure. Just need them to put a QD sling swivel on the rear now too. |

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pictures. ETA : Just noticed no front side swivel sling mount - would be better to mount on the rail anyway since the bbl is FF. Use a QD swivel in the front hole. Or use a rail mounted sling mount. Comes in a little plastic bag in the big brown box. Chamber and bore brush, too! All that and more ABSOLUTELY FREE . . . if you pop for the rifle.

Fold 'em down and use yer optics. |

Man, how could you blow so much money on that piece of shit. I mean, that bolt looks like it's had a couple thousand rounds through it and there is rust on it! Should have bought a DPMS. Could have bought TWO DPMS's––and maybe even enough replacement bolts and other parts to keep one of them running through a five day class. Maybe. |

15 minutes after cutting the tape, completely stock and unmolested...
