I believe the 6721 is a 1/9 twist barrel, and the 6920 is a 1/7 twist barrel.

I can never keep track of Colt model numbers so I could be wrong, but as a general rule Colt's barrels with military profiles have 1/7 barrels with a chrome lined barrel and chamber while the heavier profiles have a 1/9 twist with a chome chamber but not a chrome bore. Confirm that info before you make any decisions, but that should give you an idea of what to look at. |

The 6721 is HBAR with 1/9 twist. The 6920 is gov't profile with 1/7 twist. Both are 16", F marked FSB, and both have M4 ramps..

So a 6721 barrel does not have a chrome lined bore?
ETA - I just looked at mine; damned if I can tell, but it is shiny. |

+1. All my 6721 barrels are fully chrome lined.

With the twist being so close, I would imagine for general plinking/target shooting out to 200 yards I will not see much of a difference in performance in the two barrels with the same weight bullet. The difference might occur between heavier grain and lighter grain bullets though? But even at that range, wouldn't the difference be nominal?

On Colt's site the 6721 is listed as being a little over a full pound heavier than the 6920.

Got near perfect balance with my 6721LE by switching to an A2 butt with the
corresponding receiver extension, buffer, etc. Also added M4 wide oval handies, and a Magpul MIAD grip. Just got rid of the gigantic carry handle knobs with poly lock 10-32 nuts.....and this massive carbine is rapidly becoming my favorite EBR !  That outrageous tube is like having a SOCOMon steroids ! |
