Re-built this otherwise unobtainable (in California) Colt 6520 from various parts, all of it being Colt originals. Lower also Colt original, just not the one that used to come with 6520's as that would be banned by name here in California. Absurd what I have to go through just to own something that'd be easy to buy elsewhere.

I love this little rifle and added vintage light

I also switched my barrel out to the 14.5" DD middy that are coming on the URGi uppers and it is a great shooter.

Stepson thought he was going to get this & maliciously messed up the finish. Isn't pretty, but shoots well. Manufactured in 1941. I want to get the archive letter & see where it was shipped.

This started out as a standard Colt 6920 which I picked up used several years ago for $699.00 - The previous owner evidently barely shot it, as when I took possession it was immaculate. Paint mark still on the bolt, miminal to no wear at the cam pin slot, bolt carrier and bolt in excellent shape. Great gun over all. I shot it very little, and put it up. Later on I decided to use it as an SBR candidate, and sent in a Form 1.

Initially my goal was to use a DD 10.3" barrel, the vendor that shall not be named got in a bunch of Colt 10.3" barrels with .070 gas ports, so I went that route. I had a Geiselle MK16 rail and charging handle which I ordered on Black Friday and the rest as they say is history. The rifle is every evolving, but presently it's going to stay in this form. I would like to change the EOTech to a EXPS3.0, but that's down the road at this point.

I'm very impressed with the overall accuracy of the 10.3" Colt barrel.
