Does Colt make any rifles with mid length gas systems?  Mainly, I'm looking for a 16" barrel with a mid length system - basically a 6920 but with a mid length system?

To the best of my knowledge they do not make any midlength systems.

Colt does not make a midlength gas system AR-15.

If you want a quality middy gas system then get a BCM upper.

No doubt, as soon as my BCM lower arrives I will have a complete BCM mid-length rifle to accompany my 6920.

Do BCMs have M16 carriers?

The uppers don't come with BCGs, you buy them separately. But yes, all BCM carriers are M16.

Ah, that's fine then. I just didn't want to get an upper and turn around and buy a second carrier cuz the upper had an AR15 carrier.

...or a Noveske (Recce).  Most will say that best bang for your buck is Bravo Company but Noveske is known for great barrels (and a little more $$).

Paul doesn't cut any corners or do anything "incorrectly." BCM is just as good as Colt.

Normally, I would object strenuously to "XXX is just as good as Colt."  BCM gear is very good and while I wouldn't say that it's "as good as Colt", it is an outstanding product that is very reliable and well put-together.  You can't go wrong with BCM and that is what I'm going to use on the S&W lowers I have.

Indeed. I would put BCM ahead of LMT, but not equal to Colt. I don't mean that as a slight to BCM in any way.
