I am looking for my first AR,I prefer spending a few bucks more for the real deal and THIS seems like it would be the best choice for my needs........TY
Ssay a 5.56 flys at 1300+ fps which is almost double the speed of sound! So does that mean the bullet would cause a small sonic boom? And if you were downrange, a bullet would pass you, then you would hear a sonic boom, THEN hear the blast from the rifle?
@iLoveMyGun89 Yeah, the crack you hear when a supersonic bullet passes by is the sonic boom. Basically the same sound you hear when someone cracks a whip and the tip of the whip breaks the sound barrier. If you were down range, you would hear the crack of the bullet then the sound of the muzzle blast.
For $1000 i would get the Spikes Tactical 16" 5.45 Upper and enhanced lower. Everything is made and coated to withstand the extra abuse of thousands of 5.45 rounds without anything breaking, rusting or melting. The extra money for the enhanced nickel boron coating is worth it and its about the toughest AR there is.
5.45 is nearly twice as cheap as .223 and pair it with the SlideFire stock to shoot simulated full auto all day without worrying about costing too much or rifle failing.
For those out there who are uncertain about the AR, at least around here in VA, the Colt is extra good for one reason: rediculous resalability. I've seen these regularly draw several hundred dollars more at auctions than they are worth new. Of course, auction is always a risk, but you arn't going to find a better return in the event that the AR simply isn't right for you. People go crazy for the pony.
I purchased a Stag Arms carbine about 8 months ago, The dealer said it was sort of a prototype rifle, didn't come with Stag box, The dealer wrote on the ticket; 2 Tactical Pro, it has 16' brl. 1-9 twist, marked 5.56 nato, came with Midwest Industries tactical quad rail, rather long one, Magpull milspec collapsible buttstock( doesn't have the adj. cheek piece, but has dual sided battery storage and extra compartment), also has Magpul pistol grip and 1913 rail reciever, Any help confirming this?
@usamachinist continued from comment below; This rifle has the buttstock, pistol grip and some rail covers in flat dark earth color on blk reciever, Also came with Magpull flip up polymer sights, Wasn't fired before I got it! I love the rifle but have been kind of perplexed about how it came about, haven't seen alot on the internet for this model designation.

@SMarti018 Colt should be offering a piston system in the near future. However, I'm not a fan of the piston AR's, I've seen way too many problems with them. I'll stick with DI.
Personally, I like my AR to be as Light as possible, and Gas Piston adds weight compared to Gas-Impingement. However I have no idea how my SCAR 17S is as light as it is considering it shoots 7.62x51 or .308win. Plus it is a Gas Piston Rifle. Regarding this video, IMO the 6920 is the best for the money and the closest thing to an actual M4 out there. I also really like Bushmaster's A3M4 Patrolman Carbine, that would be my number 2, Bushmaster's have great barrels.
I agree, but as popular as "the black rifle" has become, alot of people have them and know very little. I have a friend who recently bought 2, I swear if I just told him to field strip the damn thing he couldn't do it to save his life.
i will never buy a pre assembled ar 15 after you build it with the parts you want i.e. freefloat tubes triggers stocks slings optics buis and a brake/compensator and they still come in under 800 dollars for a complete rifle.
I like Rock Rivers Myself, like to support my local company's. Great rifles and under $1000 you wont be disappointed. No staked gas key and castle nut though lol. Look out all you combat ready couch potato's, you got some mods to do : )
@MrMosinNagant1937 Most of them don't have the gas keys staked. Only models that are Mil spec will because its not needed in civilian shooting. Ask that question in google someone will give you a break down by company I have seen the list before.
@MrMosinNagant1937 Ya maybe that's something new these days manufaturs are doing now because of the demand, it hard to do by any stretch. I can still name about 6 company's off the top of my head that don't so there are plenty of them out there. Always check before you buy if that's something you care about. I have never had a problem even shooting 1000 rounds in a day. You just need to make sure you lock tight it well and check it often.
@kansaskid6969 I don't get paid for reviews. I buy my own firearms and give my honest opinion. I purchased this rifle from my local dealer. I mention Cheaper Than Dirt because at the time they had the absolute best price of any online retailer that I have done business with in the past. Thanks for watching.

@darksamurai73 Armalite makes a good rifle, but the Armalite that exists today isn't the same company that was involved with the development of the AR15. Eugene Stoner, Robert Fremont and Jim Sullivan designed the rifle which was sold to Colt. Colt has been manufacturing the M16 for the US military since the very beginning. But, as I said, the reborn Armalite does make a good rifle too.
@darksamurai73 FN makes M16's (like the A4) but Colt has been the only manufacturer of M4's since it's introduction. Any formal branch of the military (Army, Navy, Marines, Airforce) that have M4's will be Colt. Other government agencies have issued M4 styled rifles, but they aren't technically M4's. Armalite that exists today has no ties to the original company, they only purchased the rights to the name after Armalite had been out of business for many years.
I hear this all the time, simply because a business is under different management doesn't mean they are worse for simply that reason. Armalite may not be my rifle of choice, but, I have a friend in law enforcement that swears by Armalite. Not even a 6920 is a "real" M4 if it's a civilian Rifle,even if it says M4 on the side.
@RPXXPR You hear what argument all the time? I didn't say Armalite built a bad rifle (I said they make a good rifle), I said the company that exists today isn't the Armalite of old. It's a totally new company. As for the Colt M4 not being real, it most certainly is. M4 is a trademarked name that Colt owns and if they call it an M4, it's an M4.
@darksamurai73 Hey man don't get mad he is just saying that FN doesn't make an M4 model and he is right. They are famous for the SCAR Series. and other rifles not the M4.
@Terraformer404 whos mad at anybody? sure as hell not me, and i carried an FN m4 for 5 years in the wonderful active duty life as a 3rd infantry soldier out of ft stewart, i have alot of trigger time on said m4, i know it backwards and forwards, it was an FN whether you like it or not, it was an FN
Well i see alot of talking about mil-spec, but know this guys, ''the best rifles that are made in the industrie aren't mil-spec, they're made by GEEKs'' Such ass JP Enterprises!!
@AlfonsFromAtech Yeah I'd agree with that. JP makes a fabulous rifle, LaRue, as well. They are more expensive, but IMO worth the extra money. For me, the colt name doesn't do it for me. I understand they're good, but to me they're just above a bushy, or RRA. The only time you'll really (again this is IMO) notice a difference is when you start getting these higher end rifles, like Larue (sub 6 pound rifle) or JP rifles.
Great video on the Colt 6920! I was wondering if you could tell me more about the Barrel Specifications? i just purchased one for my AR build and would like more info on the barrel. Thanks
Just picked mine up from "The Island" yesterday lol..broke it down feeder ramps looked great, it is exactly the same thing I tooked to Afghanistan. Great review..
@makeuplover1935 The only difference are the roll marks on the lower receiver. It appears that they are discontinuing the Sporter model (SP) and all roll marks will now say "M4 Carbine". I just picked up an LE6920MP-R and it indeed does say "M4 Carbine" on the side with an SP serial number.
Is this rifle complete military spec.I want to get closest to military spec of the m4 that I can. I think I am going to buy it this month. Also do you know if a upper reciver 20" goverment profile from bcm fit on the colt lower receiver????
@LiveFreeOrDie1985 Yes, it is as close as you can get to being a true military M4 rifle. Current Colt rifles can also be had with the markings "M4 Carbine" on them as well. All parts meet military specifications with the exception of the semi-auto components.
@Sturmgewehre Can this gun (Le and SP) shoot both 5.56 and .223 also does this (again both) have a chrome lined barrel. PLEASE ANSWER THIS IS THE DECIDING QUESTION
@Sturmgewehre i have nothing against colt, but for around $800 or a little more the Smith & Wesson MP-15 OR is an outstanding rifle in terms of accuracy, durability and value. Colts are great firearms, but you can never so wrong with a Smithy, I hope in the future you will do a review on their MP line of ar-15s! thanks!
Colt was originally making the LE6920 and that is the one in this video. Last year they started making the Sporter model which is exactly the same except that the rollmark says "Sporter M4 Carbine." This model has been discontinued and the newest 6920s have a rollmark that only says "M4 Carbine"
Was wondering why Colt has so much bashing from other ar15 producers and their customers? Is buying a colt really worth the extra 3 to 4 hundred dollars your going to spend. They say Bushmaster, Stag, S&W, and DPMS are better and cheaper. Also why did colt stop selling to civilians years ago? Sorry just trying to buy and ar15 when I come home from deployment and wanted to get your advise.
@ajbrown0117 I wouldn't say Bushmaster, Stag or DPMS are better - or even as well built - as Colt rifles. BCM, Daniels Defense, Noveske, LMT, etc. are as good and in some cases even better than Colt though. But their prices reflect that. Lots of people hate on various things. However, if you venture over to discussion boards like M4Carbine*net you'll find most agree Colt builds a solid rifle.
@ajbrown0117 buying an AR is like shopping for insurance, it can make your head spin. Read up, shop around but in the end best to buy a Colt and sleep well. They are the standard for a reason. The little Pony means nothing until it's time to sell but the design and QC that Colt delivers is worth every damn penny.
Thanks for the video, I like all of them...I am looking at thi rifle at the local gunshop, magpul equipment, $1249...I am really leaning towards that but also the M&P looks pretty good too. Do you have any xp with the Smith?
It's a bare bone M forgery. It's not a good value even at the current sale price. For the $1150.00 a 6920 costs I can build a rifle that would be better than a 6920 in every way. You Colt fanboys love to drink the Kool-Aid!!!! I own Colt products also, but you guys claiming you are getting a great deal buy buying a Colt are too much.
doesn't matter if its colt, Bushmaster, Rock River Arms, DPMS, FN USA....an M4 is an M4. Basic AR-15s standard models (not customized/pimped out), I can't tell a difference.
Nothing wrong with a Colt, but I wouldn't pay extra for the Colt logo rollmark.

@Sturmgewehre. Unless you carry it for Uncle Sam I can assure you that it is not mil-spec. I believe the main difference is batch tested bolt carrier groups, and barrels. I love the channel and don't want to have a pissing match. You have probably forgot more about the AK and AR platforms than I know. Keep the great videos coming!
@Sturmgewehre. I think for all practical purposes they are great for the average user. Colt is not the only maker of AR parts for government contracts. Mil spec is a standard. Not a brand. I agree that they are not 100% mil spec. Neither is that Colt.
@plumberjoe80 I never said mil-spec was a brand. I never said Colt was the only government contractor. Colt is in fact mil-spec. What I said is that PSA and Spikes aren't completely mil-spec, and they're not. I didn't say they were bad rifles, because they're not. They cut costs in production to keep prices low. They appeal to a certain market segment and offer a fine product at their price point.
As far as M4s go they are the only company on contract.
Right now the sales that have been going on with the 6920 do in fact make it one of the best values currently. For the features offered they are priced really well.
I also think that Spikes Tactical and Palmetto State Armory make excellent rifles for less money than a Colt. Around $750 for a Spikes, and $550.00 for a Palmetto.
@plumberjoe80 They make decent AR's, but neither of them are true military spec rifles. Many budget AR's makers claim to have true mil-spec guns, but in reality they don't. This doesn't mean they aren't good rifles, it just means a few corners are cut to keep costs down.
I have an uncle that used to have one of these rifles... it was a great gun... sadly he had to sell it along with a full auto UZI 9mm due to divorce fees.... *cries*
@O7ROADKING screw you a-hole, you don't know me. I did indeed get rid of that pos colt for something superior (daniel defense). I'm sorry if my opinion of colt bothers you. Maybe you've spent a lot of money with them and only want to hear good things. Either way I don't give a shit.
I like your reviews and normally tend to agree with your assement. The Colt is a "good" AR however they have fallen behind IMO. Their offerings are much too narrow these days and there are better ARs available for the same money. I won't seek a carbine Colt again unless it was a smoking deal I could make money on. Old outdated AR configuration that is less than desirable to many that have been there, done that. They need to catch up and quit surviving on Pony hype. JMO though.
If you had the money would you prefer this firearm or the Olympic Arms K3B-M4 AR-15 you did a review on? I'm sure theres a number of factors to consider but dependablity and accuracy are the most important to me.
Do you think less expensive variants such as Rock River, Bushmaster and other manufacturers can match the the quality of Colt, or Colt is King? Also if other companies make M4's for the US DOD does that mean Colt can't provide enough for the DOD?
@NovaScotiaNewfie There are other compaines that make guns as good and BETTER than Colt, LWRC, LMT, Barret, ect. Bushmaster and Rock Rivers arent as nice as the Colt, but they work just as well for 99% of people. Even the "low end" ARs Spikes Tactical, Del-Ton, DSArms are still high quality and will serve you well, dont get to hung up on the name.
@Sturmgewehre Just to clarify, it's not a rail system, in that it can be removed. I'm sure you know that, but someone reading this may not. The 6940 has a monolithic upper, it's all one solid piece, the rails are part of the upper. The upper is proprietary as is the barrel. I agree the 6920 is the best buy carbine right now, but the 6940 is definitely more accurate, has a flat top with folding sights, so adding an optic doesn't mean you need to buy BUIS too. I love mine.
Ugh carbine length gas system. Buy a BCM middy and lower and you will have a weapon with equal or better quality than colt and a mid length gas system. Only maybe $50-$100 more.
@HunterKiller308 It's not beyond you it's your opinion, none is better than the other. I already have an AK and am really looking into getting this AR. But this is America, nothing is beyond us, why not by AK and AR? I sure as hell will.
@HunterKiller308 You are probably an AR fan boy judging by what you just said. So you are saying that AKs are purchased by nothing but poor people? That the AR is more reliable than the AK under all conditions? That the .22 caliber round the ARs fire have more barrier penetration than the 30 caliber round the AK fires? Not to mention they were designed for different purposes so shouldn't even be compared to each other in the first place.
@TheMango121 yes the AK74 has great accuracy at 100 yards, but if ever get into a range war or counter sniper type of combat your at a serious disadvantage 250+ yards
you can go aheaed and bank on the idea you wont be getting attacked past 100 yards, me i like range and accuracy on my side, i want to reach out and touch them before they even know im there
HAHA realistically about 500 meters is pushing the 5.56 round. It has poor performance past 250 yards(using 55.gr nato). It becomes a glorified 22 LR at around 300 meters.
@TheMango121 55grain 5.56 ball ammo can hit at 1000 yards.. search it if you dont believe me.check out tnoutdoors9 page as well he has some 700 yard hits with 5.56 which is well over 500 meters..stop hating
oh nothing really, I just get a bit of a laugh at all the chest thumping. Let me ask you something. Do you think the jihadi's sit down and discuss whether they would rather use a polish or romanian underfolder.
You guys really make me laugh, it's the guy holding the thing that makes 99% of the problem.
I am looking for my first AR,I prefer spending a few bucks more for the real deal and THIS seems like it would be the best choice for my needs........TY

@darksamurai73 FN makes M16's (like the A4) but Colt has been the only manufacturer of M4's since it's introduction. Any formal branch of the military (Army, Navy, Marines, Airforce) that have M4's will be Colt. Other government agencies have issued M4 styled rifles, but they aren't technically M4's. Armalite that exists today has no ties to the original company, they only purchased the rights to the name after Armalite had been out of business for many years.

@Sturmgewehre
I hear this all the time, simply because a business is under different management doesn't mean they are worse for simply that reason. Armalite may not be my rifle of choice, but, I have a friend in law enforcement that swears by Armalite. Not even a 6920 is a "real" M4 if it's a civilian Rifle,even if it says M4 on the side.
RPXXPR 4 days ago
@RPXXPR You hear what argument all the time? I didn't say Armalite built a bad rifle (I said they make a good rifle), I said the company that exists today isn't the Armalite of old. It's a totally new company. As for the Colt M4 not being real, it most certainly is. M4 is a trademarked name that Colt owns and if they call it an M4, it's an M4.

The only time you'll really (again this is IMO) notice a difference is when you start getting these higher end rifles, like Larue (sub 6 pound rifle) or JP rifles.

Was wondering why Colt has so much bashing from other ar15 producers and their customers? Is buying a colt really worth the extra 3 to 4 hundred dollars your going to spend. They say Bushmaster, Stag, S&W, and DPMS are better and cheaper. Also why did colt stop selling to civilians years ago? Sorry just trying to buy and ar15 when I come home from deployment and wanted to get your advise.
ajbrown0117 4 weeks ago
@ajbrown0117 I wouldn't say Bushmaster, Stag or DPMS are better - or even as well built - as Colt rifles. BCM, Daniels Defense, Noveske, LMT, etc. are as good and in some cases even better than Colt though. But their prices reflect that. Lots of people hate on various things. However, if you venture over to discussion boards like M4Carbine*net you'll find most agree Colt builds a solid rifle.
Sturmgewehre 4 weeks ago
@ajbrown0117 buying an AR is like shopping for insurance, it can make your head spin. Read up, shop around but in the end best to buy a Colt and sleep well. They are the standard for a reason. The little Pony means nothing until it's time to sell but the design and QC that Colt delivers is worth every damn penny.

It's a bare bone M forgery. It's not a good value even at the current sale price. For the $1150.00 a 6920 costs I can build a rifle that would be better than a 6920 in every way. You Colt fanboys love to drink the Kool-Aid!!!! I own Colt products also, but you guys claiming you are getting a great deal buy buying a Colt are too much.

@Sturmgewehre. I think for all practical purposes they are great for the average user. Colt is not the only maker of AR parts for government contracts. Mil spec is a standard. Not a brand. I agree that they are not 100% mil spec. Neither is that Colt.
plumberjoe80 1 month ago
@plumberjoe80 I never said mil-spec was a brand. I never said Colt was the only government contractor. Colt is in fact mil-spec. What I said is that PSA and Spikes aren't completely mil-spec, and they're not. I didn't say they were bad rifles, because they're not. They cut costs in production to keep prices low. They appeal to a certain market segment and offer a fine product at their price point.

As far as M4s go they are the only company on contract.
Right now the sales that have been going on with the 6920 do in fact make it one of the best values currently. For the features offered they are priced really well.

I also think that Spikes Tactical and Palmetto State Armory make excellent rifles for less money than a Colt. Around $750 for a Spikes, and $550.00 for a Palmetto.

@plumberjoe80 They make decent AR's, but neither of them are true military spec rifles. Many budget AR's makers claim to have true mil-spec guns, but in reality they don't. This doesn't mean they aren't good rifles, it just means a few corners are cut to keep costs down.

I like your reviews and normally tend to agree with your assement. The Colt is a "good" AR however they have fallen behind IMO. Their offerings are much too narrow these days and there are better ARs available for the same money. I won't seek a carbine Colt again unless it was a smoking deal I could make money on. Old outdated AR configuration that is less than desirable to many that have been there, done that. They need to catch up and quit surviving on Pony hype. JMO though.

@Sturmgewehre Just to clarify, it's not a rail system, in that it can be removed. I'm sure you know that, but someone reading this may not. The 6940 has a monolithic upper, it's all one solid piece, the rails are part of the upper. The upper is proprietary as is the barrel. I agree the 6920 is the best buy carbine right now, but the 6940 is definitely more accurate, has a flat top with folding sights, so adding an optic doesn't mean you need to buy BUIS too. I love mine.
