No, it is semi auto and has a 16" barrel unlike the M4/M4A1.
If you are looking for a very close clone, that is different, and the 6920 fits that slot very nicely. |

Quoted:
I am in Afghanistan now, as a civilian, and according to Wiki, a M4 and M4A1 both have 14.5" barrels. But all the soldiers I see here have Colt M4's, not sure the barrel length. But my question is would a Colt 6920 with a 16" barrel be a true M4 or M4gery? Thanks for your help, trying to figure this stuff out. No it's not. M4/M4A1 are both select fire. 6920s are semi auto only with a 16'' barrel. |

The difference between the M4 and M4A1 is the trigger (BURST vs AUTO) and the thickness of the barrel under the handguards.
A 6920 is as close as you can get with the Colt for a M4gery (Semi auto with 16" barrel) without going the SBR /NFA route... |

No. But the 6920 may in deed be as close as you can get to a real M4 without it being a real M4.

Thanks all, I guess I now know I need to get a 14.5" barrel with the SOCOM profile for my first build. Thanks again.

If you are going that route, remember you are going to be going through a lot more paperwork to do it legally. Minimum legal barrel length is 16", to go shorter requires you to SBR your weapon and register it with the feds. Figure that to be an additional $200, lots of paperwork, and 6-12 months in waiting. Another option would be to go with an extended A2 muzzle device and have it drilled and pinned in place to create an overall 16" length. With it pinned in place, a 14.5 can become a legal 16". |

If you go the 14.5 route ypu have the go the NFA route as Stickman noted, or get a 14.5" barrel AND PERMANENTLY ATTACH a muzzle device that is long enough to bring the barrel length to 16" |

I believe that MI is not yet an SBR state. Or did that recently change?

It's exactly the same thing. Dianne Feinstein said so.

Buy one of the newer 6920's with the "M4 CARBINE" roll mark. Get a take off Colt 14.5" barrel from the EE and a A2X flash hider from BCM. Pay someone to swap the barrels and pin the hider on. That's what I did for my M4 repro build... probably the closest I'll ever be able to get to my original:
Original one I had in Iraq:
