Airhasz, thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Here is a webiste you should frequent if you live in NY and are into firearms of any kind. www.nyfirearms.com
Here is a good thread: http://www.nyfirearms.com/forums/laws-politics/3295-new-york-state-assault-weapon-ban-faq-part-1-rifles.html
If it has the M16 BCG then there will not be a sear block on the gun. My MT6400 did not have the sear block and has the pinned stock swapped out for the collapsable version. No idea why the half moon BCG, I bought it back in late 04 early 05 so it was probably a post ban relic. Sounds like you will be GTG. Enjoy.
I’m just curious, a search really didn’t tell me what I’m looking for. I want to put a free float quad rail on my carbine(s). Is there much of a difference in quality, durability, reliability between Midwest Industries, Troy Industries, Samson or Yankee Hill Machine free float quad rails? I’ve looked at rails from all four companies. They all have a rail or two I could use on my carbine(s).
I like Yankee Hill Machine’s Customizable Free Float Rail. It’s round (not that that’s a requirement) and I can set it up the way I like with the long 7" piece of picatinny rail on the bottom for my Troy VFG and a short 3" piece of picatinny rail around the 3 o’clock position for a light. The rest of it would be clean with nothing on it. Is it a good rail? How are the others?
Thanks, NYH1.
Why folks get a 6720 and then load it down with rails and a bunch of crap is beyond me. Just get a Micro Red Dot and an X300 mounted on one of these:

Thats all you need.
Btw, a 6920 barrel is no more accurate than the pencil in my experience. Yes a pencil will open up groups with heat quicker, but it will cool down quicker too IMO.
As far as accuracy, the 6920 barrel with the cuts really doesn’t help accuracy and brings it down below what a cold bore pencil will do also my opinion. Lightweight and simple works real good for a CQB <100m AR platform.
Otherwise just get a damn SOCOM Colt Barrel, Full Rails with full mall ninja junk and a heavy 1X6 optic and don’t forget a friggen heavy ass SOPMOD Stock and just forget all about the whole lightweight thing.
Actually, I have 4 M4’s configured each way because they both serve a purpose, but I like my two bone stock 6720’s the best and so does the spousal unit.
johnnywitt, sorry. As I posted above, I’m getting a new Colt MT6400 Carbine. My dealer ordered it for me two weeks ago. It’s the “post-ban” compliant version of the Colt LE6920 Carbine.
I wanted to get the AR6720 Lightweight. However, here in the great state of New Yorkistan (that really is a joke!), we can’t buy new AR15 style rifles/carbines with Colt AR15 roll marks on them. We have to get them without those roll marks as well as no working collapsible stock (has to be pinned), no bayonet lugs and no flash hiders.
I also like the LE6920 Carbine so I figured it’s a lot easier to get a “post-ban” compliant carbine from the get go. Hopefully it’s here soon. They said they shipped it out.
I also have a Stag Model 1 Carbine w/Plus Package. I’m giving it to my son. He’s still pretty young, but I’m going to set it up the way he wants it. He likes quad rails and the A4 carry handle on it. Just getting info on quad rails so when I’m ready to get them I’ll know which ones are good and which ones aren’t in that price range. I didn’t want to start a new thread so I asked here on my current one.
Thanks for your reply, NYH1.
Thanks for the link. I’ll have to think about that setup.

We need to trust the NRA and call our Senators and Reps. White house too. Now is not the time for panic.

I emailed our worthless POS Governor, our State Assembly Man as well as a few others. Still have to email our State Senator as well. Then I’m going to call them and send them all letters.

I’ve been reading stuff about ARs for days. I wanted an M-4 type SHTF walk-around carbine. Finally decided a 6920 was the ticket. Then I read the 6720 was better. I then found out about the BCM and LMT. Out of all the choices, only 2 have removable handles/sights. Most have flip-up rear and fixed or flip-up front.
What happened? Has everyone gone to optics? If you mount an optic, wouldn’t the fixed front post be in the way? Are the flip-up rears better than a removable handle sight? A couple don’t even have rear sights. If I got one with both flip-ups, could I still add a handle/sight and it would work with the front one?
I’v never used an optic I think I read that there are 1 power sights for pistols that give a quick sight picture. It seems that these ARs are being set up for long range hunting or paper cutting, not combat or
carrying or protection.
For those who prefer the 6720 over the 6920, how do you set it up for daily use?
This all assumes I can still get any of them:-)) Merry Christmas & Semper Fi!
I wouldn’t say the 6720 is better then the 6920. The 6720 is lighter then the 6920. That’s about it as far as I recall.
A lot of us use optics. The fixed sights can either be in the same position as the dot in the optic. Or the the fixed sights can be in the lower 1/3 of the optic. It depends on how it is set up. I use a fixed iron sights. Both my front and rear sights are in the lower 1/3 of my Aimpoint PRO Optic.
AR’s can be setup a million different ways. It depends what they’re going to be used for. A lot of optics have no magnification which is good for close engagements
Can’t answer that.
That might be a problem right now.
Good luck, NYH1.
To answer the question and provide some comparison, read away. I’ll choose the 6720 anyday because if does the same mission as well as a heavier rifle.
6720 - Aimpoint Micro red dot optic, Magpul CTR stock, Magpul MOE handguards and a 2x CR123 flashlight
6940 - Eotech holographic + 3x magnifer, Magpul CTR stock and a 2x CR123 flashlight
My wife and my FFL played a good game on me. My new Colt MT6400 was never out of stock or on any kind of backorder. My wife called him and told him to tell me that. She went and picked it up Dec. 6th. It’s been right here in front of me in a big box that she said was for our daughter.
I was sitting at the table this morning while the kids were opening their gifts from Santa. My wife hands me a package. I opened it. It was a very nice picture of her in a seductive Santa Suite, that her friend took of her holding my new Colt. . . . .she looked hot as he!! in it. Anyway’s, it’s in the safe ready for me to configure it how I want it, i.e. Aimpoint PRO, quad rail, VFG, single point sling mount & sling, mount for light and light. I final own a Colt AR15. :happy:
Maybe I’ll be lucky and a new Colt 1911 (01980XSE) will be here for Christmas next year! :dance3:
NYH1!
Con grads! You sir have an AWESOME WIFE…
Thanks, Airhasz. . . . .Yes I do, she’s great!
Especially considering that I bought my Stag Model 1 w/Plus Package & Aimpoint PRO (it’s going on my Colt), two Glock’s a G26 and G34 all new this year.
Maybe I’ll be lucky and she’ll get me a Colt 1911 45 ACP (01980XSE) next Christmas. . . . .I can hope can’t I!
NYH1! :dance3:
