Assuming the price was equal which would you recommend as a first AR, a Colt 6720 or 6920? If you have experience with both please let me know why you prefer one over the other.
With the release of the 6720, I’d buy one of them before I bought a 6920 simply for the weight savings.
There’s nothing “wrong” with the 6920, and it does remain the Gold Standard in AR carbines.
I have owned neither, so feel free to ignore my opinion. I do, however, have two Govt. profile ARs, both middies(one is a dissipator style), and one LW profile middy AR. In my extremely limited experience, I would go with LW for a carbine. I don’t have a registered lower, and ammo not being free, I don’t particularly need a heavier profile for a carbine. The extra mass might give you more inertia, but you could always throw a brake on the 6720 if the recoil bothers you.
Either way, you will not be disappointed. You could always sell the upper on the EE and by the opposite upper from Grant without having to ship a firearm, since he now carries them. The roll marks may not match, but that up to you.
Agree.
I do not own either, but before the 6720 was available many people bought the 6520 and did a flattop conversion. I was one of them. I’ve had it for 6+ years and thousands of rounds, and it’s still the personally owned gun/upper I use the most.
Really? Thanks for the warm welcome. The first thing I did was a google search and found three or so discussions with only a few opinions. That led me to this message board which has been a great source of information from reading past posts. Do you have any useful information to contribute?
Yeah, he did, by leading you to search results that provide a metric assload of fodder that speaks directly to your question. You COULD have bumped an older thread of the same topic, IF you had a new question or new info to add, or even to simply ask for an update from the participants.
You have publicly proven that you have neither new info nor a unique question to contribute, so the topic does not rate a new thread.
Check out the forum’s posting rules, so that, next time, you’ll be breaking them intentionally, instead of through ignorance and the excess pride of thinking that you’re the first person to have ever thought up this topic.
