Why does a Colt 6920 weigh 5.95lbs
 and a Bushmaster Patrolman's Carbine weigh 6.8lbs  I didn't include the RRA Entry because of the weight difference of the carry handles. Why does one 16" m4 cut weight that much more? What am I missing? Thanks |

Colt probally has a half-round BC, where as the Bushy has one that is cut back. Heavier buffer in the bushy?
Colt likes to screw the consumer market so it's probally made with half-assed workmanship. Although I'm not a Bushmaster or Colt fan by any means, I would get the Bushmaster. |

weights come from the respective web sites:
Colt: www.colt.com/law/lecarbine.asp Bushmaster: www.bushmaster.com/le/weapons/bushmaster_xm15_e2s_patrolman_16.htm Trying to compare apples to apples. |
