colt 6920 vs other colt ar-15's

[jgo296]

ok ive been reading up planning on an ar
its apparent most people think the colt 6920 is the best ar-15 out of box
because of all the military standards
my question is what about all the other colt ar-15 models? do they "cut corners?

do they "cut corners?

Not to my knowledge. Part of the reason their cost is what it is.

The Colt LEO models are made to higher standards then the Colt "commercial" models. Basically colt makes the LEO guns to very close to mil-spec standard including the testing, etc. I don't believe they do the same thing on the commercial side. That's why the LEO line is held in higher regard.

so if you get a standard colt you are in the same boat as any other ar?

I'd look at the S&W M&P AR's as well. I've got a Colt 6920 which is a great rifle...but my S&W M&P 15 is a better rifle. Better fit/finish and it's run about 4000 rounds now without a single issue.

Also make sure you budget in a Ciener .22 conversion...one case of .223 ammo will pay for a Ciener & a bunch of mags.
