Well I received my 6920 yesterday. Cleaned it up and went out today and shot a 200 yard standing slow fire and sitting raid fire match. Took third place in both. These guys could not believe I would shoot a stock rifle in competition. One guy had the gull to tell me I would be lucky if I could get it on paper. I smashed his score. All in all I would say I’m pretty happy with the rifle. summer is NRA rifle match season here in Southern Oregon and I will compete in as many as I can. I know the 6920 is not exactly a target rifle, but it just shows all what its capable of shooting. Anyways a good day at the range. The ammo I was using is XM193F. It worked very well!!
It’s the archer, not so much the bow.
Although having a good bow helps a lot. ![]()
The singer, not the song. ![]()
I like to shoot an AK at 3 gun matches and smoke the AR guys. ![]()

I have a buddy who’s AK will drive nails. Bet shooting AK I have ever seen. He paid 200 dollars for it. Not sure when he bought it. Not sure which eastern block country it was from also. I think I’ll stick to my AR!!![]()
Yah …They shoot great…
When I got my 6920 i was at an indoor range which has 2 rifle lanes. In the other lane was a guy had a new Sig556 with an EOTech on it. He was getting some instruction from one of the range employees who I was fairly friendly with. I was doing a BSZ on my new 6920 in bone stock trim… He made a joke that his Sig556 “was just like an AR apart from the 5 grand price difference” … I confirmed that he was talking about a Sig 556 not an HK416 …
Anyway…they never said a word when I brought my target up after firning a couple of mags and it had one ragged hole about the size of a baseball. It was probably less than 50 yds by a little bit…not far I know, but I was happy considering how hard it can be to get a FS/RS picture on the black bullseye in fairly poor indoor incandescent lighting (this range had piss poor lighting on the rifle range as the lights were still set at the pistol lane distances 7, 15 & 25 yds with an extra at the trap behind the end of the target cable max). I told him to sell the Sig buy the Colt and get some ammo and training classes with the $5 grand left over. I actually offered to buy the EOTech even though I don’t need it… Hehehe…
Tuesday is club practice day. Were shooting at 300 yards today. I’ll let you know how it went.
The Colt 6920 is an excellent AR 15 carbine. (I own two for myself, and have bought another two to set aside for my kids).
The rifle will only perform to the level of the shooter. The combination of a Colt 6920, along with a shooter who knows something about basic marksmanship is an outstanding combination.
You can “smoke” many people in a competition who have spent time and money tricking out their rifle, yet don’t have the skill to use it.
The dude at the range might have been talking about about sig552 being 5 grand more than colt, but assume u werent shooting next to a seal so maybe he needs to be informed that stock 556s are 1400$ near me, and IF u find a 6920 u can count on speeding 1800 to 2000 grand on it, thus making your sweet lil bad colt about 600 more than his NON-COLT!
Great shooting Stan. Looking forward to the 300 yard report. ![]()
Yeah,Roger that T82 … that’s why in my typically dry sense of English sarcastic humor I had confirmed that we was asserting that his Sig556 had a price premium of $5K …It was a Sig556 not the 552 unless he put a 16" barrel on it:p…
Didn’t know my old Colt was spendier …I love the 6920…Just can’t get the thought of an HK416/MR556 out of my head though …Although I’d never get rid of the Colt …
… I agree with this 110%. In fact it is probably the most rewarding past time ever!
