No one could take His life, He laid it down for me,
That twisted wreath of thorns, yea He took that crown for me,
But after three days, out of the ground for me,
He overcame it all, now I live to serve Him

Bummer on both counts. Why are they sticking with carbine gas? I can't imagine its that much cheaper, basically just a slightly longer gas tube. |

I agree. Bummer on the 6940 and 6960. Both are fine weapons. I’m going to pass on the EPR II and PRO and the M5. Nothing fascinating enough for me to get excited about either. To each their own. I’m more than happy with my older Colts. |
