Howto post a photo? Thanks yet again to the people who posted suggestions. Went and bought an AR6721 from SAW. Am in the process of buying a gun safe, and want to know what kinds of accessories I can buy for this rifle. I need some good examples and where I can go look at them. What works, and what does not. My rifle has the following markings on the barell: C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR and the lower receiver: RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT/EXPORT USE ONLY Can anyone give me any history on these markings? One person told me they indicate this rifle is a pre-ban creation. Is this true? |

C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9HBAR C=Colt M=Magnaflux particle tested (barrel and bolt) P=Proof load fired (barrel and bolt) 5.56 NATO=5.56 milspec chamber (rather than a 223 "match" chamber) 1/9=Rate of turn in barrel (ROT) a bullet makes one complete revolution for every 9 inches of barrel HBAR=Heavy barrel All Colt LEO weapons (6920, 6721, 6520 etc) have the restricted markings on the lower receiver. It has nothing to do with preban status. My 6920 has the restricted markings, but it was made 09/04 The best "accessory" you can buy is a good carbine class. You've got a kickass carbine-you should also get some kickasss training if you haven't already  As far as other accessories go, you can mount optics, taclights, lasers, bipods, freefloat forends-the sky is the limit. A few of my "must have" accessories are plenty of mags, lots of ammo, a good sling, and a good cleaning kit. I also like the Hogue grip and the PRI charging handle latch. Here is my Colt LE6920 M4. As you can see it's very basic compared to the two carbines behind it. I'm probably going to keep it as "pure" and basic as possible:  Here's a great thread and a wealth of information regarding the "perfect tactical carbine" LINK |
