Side mount Yes. Though it might not end up being used. My last issued M4, I was unable to use the front sling swivel due to M203, PEQ18, PEQ2, that I had to use a single point sling set up. |

Why not just buy a Colt 6920 and cut/crown/thread the barrel to appropriate length and pin/weld your A2 to make it legal?

I don't believe the new production Colts come with a side mount any longer and that they are now supplied with the six o'clock mount. Your idea is not a bad one, although some would not be happy with losing some of the barrel stampings with the cutdown. |

I always see 14.5 Colt barrels in the EE for $250 or so. Swap them out and sell the 16". http://www.brownells.com/shooting-accessories/slings-sling-swivels/tactical-sling-mounts/tactical-sling-mount-front-prod4521.aspx?avs|Manufacturer_1=COLT |

The LMT/B5 was also issued through RFI.
M4s (RO920) manufactured between 1994 and ~2002-ish will have the "fiberlite" "CAR"-style stock with the straight butt and short toe. After about 2002-ish, the current production "M4-style" stock would have been used. ~Augee |

Cut, thread and re-contour in the M4 step. Adco will turn down the area that has partial barrel markings like they were never there. |
