| How about some pics? I just picked one up friday myself, haven't shot it yet. I really like the feel of it, but really need to shoot it to have a honest opinion. I was going to ask you a question. Mine came right out of the box with a lot of brass on the deflector. Did yours come the same way. This is the first Colt I have seen like this right out of the box. I know they test fired them but I would have thought they would have cleaned it off. The grease is extremely heavy on mine. All over the plastic and gun, just everywhere. |
Well I stated that wrong. Mine had lot of oil not really grease. |
|
Nice choice. My 6920 is the only AR I own but I can't see getting an AR that is nicer. They shoot great and are very high quality. Mine was just like yours. Almost zeroed right out of the box. Shoot the heck out of it! They love wolf ammo too. I get 2.5 MOA with 55gr wolf. Can't beat that for the price if you're just shooting paper. CMS |
It's suppose to be a new 6 position tube for the current new models. At least Colt is improving their products. 
|
Yup, that's what I heard from one of the dealers, it might just be a rumor or it could be true, who knows until we see a pic of it. The 6 pos tubes should be on the factory shipment this month. I also just use two positions, closed and the last position but in the winter I use the next shorter position because I'm wearing a thick winter jacket. 
|
I actually have a 6920 inbound on that shipment, so I guess I'll find out. |
Not a big deal at all to me. If you want to keep it in good shape more power to you. If you want to beat the hell out of it that is ok too. To each their own. |

Surplus City in Feasterville, is that the one on Bustleton Ave out around the Classic Pistol area? The metal looking shop with no sign outside? (if there's a sign in the window or something I've never noticed it) If it is then I've only been in there once to check it out, it was usually closed when I went by. It seemed to have a good in-stock position for a store it's size and the people were pretty nice too, encouraging me to take it down and have a look at it. If I'm ever in a position to pick up another rifle they will be on my list. As for the brass deflector, I just let the brass hit it. If cleaning gets some of it off, great, If not, oh well. |
I completely agree, but a scratch is cosmetic and does not affect the function of the rifle. A piece of tape on the brass deflector is comical in my eyes, it's there for a reason and if it has casing marks on it then it's doing it's job. Many people here want everything "Mil-Spec" so that they have a "Go-To" zombie killer of a gun. They have $3,000 in top of the line accessories on their gun so that it's durable when "SHTF". Then in the next thread they make a post bitching that they have a pin scratch on their Aimpoint or that they're sending back the Larue FF Rail that they just bought because of a tiny cosmetic blemish. If they're going to get sand in their mangina over the rifle getting a scratch, they should have just saved themselves some money and buy Airsoft accessories instead of "Mil-Spec". It's just one of my pet peeves... nothing against you. |
Sounds like jealousy to me. So what if someone buys a gun as a toy and not a tool? It's their money, they can do whatever they want with it. If they want to buy a $1.5K carbine, add $3k worth of top of the line accessories for it and then put it in a glass case, that's there business. If somebody buys a part or accessory and they are not happy with it for what ever reason (cosmetic or other), then it is there right as a consumer to contact the dealer\manufacturer to get the item replaced or refunded. I don’t get what some of your guy’s problems are? I realize that there are some people here who need these things as tools for their job. They do not have the money or interest or both in keeping and not using anything that does serve a useful purpose for them. That’s fine, I can understand that and even respect it. What I don’t get or respect is some of those same people who feel the need to come here and trash other people who don’t prescribe to the same doctrine. Why does it bother some of you guys so much that there are people who buy these things simply because they can and want to? The people who really crack me up are the guys here who aren’t professionals in any way, shape or form but want to talk, act and train like they are. Those are the real posers IMO but even still, if that’s what they want to do with their time and money, what do I care? What other people do with their stuff has no bearing on my life. |
Yeah but luckly at least some of those guys followed the king poser over to his new site of which we do not speak. |
 You're kidding.... right?
I never said that people shouldn't be able to buy what they want. I just stated a pet peeve of mine and that is the pansy asses that cry if they get a scratch on their HSLD M4.
I highlighted a key word here. If they do that, I would rather have them next to me than 99% of the people on ARFCOM. To me they are not the real posers, they are out there actually USING their gear and weapons for what they were designed to do. The people that you speak of aren't scared to scratch their Larue rail, or get dirt on their Eagle Ciras and are actually learning tactics that would be useful in the real world. Now, the guy with a $5,000 dollar gun w/o a scratch and has a plate carrier, drop holster etc etc just to go to the range is a poser. That would be at least 75% of ARFCOM. Punching paper is NOT training, nor is standing in the mirror looking at yourself in said gear. What tactics does guy with $5,000 rifle know that would help me in a real world situation? I would rather have a guy with a Ruger 10/22 that knows standard TTP's than a guy with a tricked out MK12 SPR that doesn't know shit. |
 You're on a roll this morning aren't ya. I suggest you go talk to Pat Rogers, Kevin B and a host of other BTDT's about why they don't come around here to often anymore. |
Nope, not one bit. Sounds like you can't stand the fact that there are people who can afford to buy whatever the hell they want to because they feel like it. They have no need to “train”. This is just a hobby for many of us and the AR is just another toy. If it’s not jealousy then what short coming is it about you that won’t let you leave other people to enjoy this hobby anyway they see fit without you feeling the need to judge them for it? 
I'd say that's BS considering your reply below.
What makes you think anybody else cares what you think or who you want standing by your side? Why does a person have to "train" with their AR in order to not be a poser in your book? What's wrong with owning an AR just because it's a fun gun to build, modify and shoot? Believe it or not, not everybody on this forum has EOTWAWKI or SHTF fantasies. For most of us it’s a hobby, not life or death. I don't own any chest rigs, drop leg holsters, bob's or any other "tactical gear". I just like guns. I guess that doesn't make me cool enough to shoot by you? Then I guess it's a good thing that I couldn't care less what you think. I’ll shoot what, where, when and how I feel like it. If that bothers you I suggest you either find a way to get over it or move on down the line.
Well thank you! 
I see you use the phrase “host of others” a little loosely but either way, don’t be twisting my words around. I never said nor implied that everybody over there was a poser. Sure there are guys there that have been there, done that and\or are still doing that. Same is true here. Sure there are a few people who left here that I was sad to see go but I also know that some of the loudest, never were, never will be’s that never contributed anything of value here, also call that place home now. It’s a trade off I can learn to live with. Sorry but I’ve never read anything from you memorable enough to recall which group you fit into? If you have been there\done that then I thank you for your service but as far as I’m concerned, that does not give you the right to come here and attempt to belittle people who do not share your background or viewpoints. |
What makes you think that I'm jealous of anyone's firearms? I have what I need, everything from a MK18 to a S&W 686, I have and use for a specific reason. I'm not a collector, weapons are tools to me and I enjoy shooting. I don't care what other people own. So get off your "jealousy" kick.
I was replying to your above statement. So, you can make snide comments about people who train with firearms but I can't make a comment about someone who cares about a scratch? Sounds like I hit a soft spot. Stop being a hypocrite.
I never said that, but you may learn a few things if you did shoot by me.
I used "host of others" because I wasn't going to ask for every ones credentials to reply to you. I think I know who you're talking about. IIRC, he helped "out" the shills that plagued this place a few months back. He does "train" with his firearms, has a lot of knowledge about the industry and knows a few people that know what they're talking about. He actually brought FACTS do discussions instead of the usual ARFCOM BS that seems to be passed as the truth.
I wasn't "belittling" anyone. Get over yourself. |

Funny coming from the guy with a superiority complex
Talk about hitting a nerve! It’s alright man, I feel bad for you. I can’t imagine not owning even one gun that’s only purpose was to enjoy and have fun with.  I love tools but toys can be even more fun. 
To clarify, I wasn’t making snide comments about people who train. Training can be fun and educational. Learning to become a better shooter is always a good thing. What I was making snide comments about were people who train like the EOTW is coming or like they’re SF operators and then talk down to other people because they think that their training some how makes them special and people who don’t train are somehow beneath them. Sound like anybody you know?
From your description I’d say no you don’t. The person I was referring to is only concerned with protecting his interests, lining his pockets and inflating his ego. This site is much better off without him. Well I think we’ve both managed to shit on this thread enough already. If you’ve got anything else to say to me, take it off line. |
