Latest Generation of the Colt LE6920 (2013)

Got a handful of these in the other day. Colt has changed how the LE6920 is configured and what comes with it quite a bit.

They have stopped shipping the guns with the removeable carry handle and now use the Magpul MBUS 2.

They have stopped including the cleaning kit and sling. Instead of the two 20rd USGI mags, you now get one (black) M3 PMAG.

Thank God we still have BCM. :frowning:

Sign me up for one. It shows you’re out of stock.

LOL, I can understand your sentiment assuming that you like the carry handle (biggest change). For me, the carry handle is worthless and would always have to be removed for a different BUIS so that I could mount an optic to it.

So I think a lot of people will like this option (along with the 30rd PMAG).

Did they remove the side sling by the fsb?

Yes. They have been doing this for awhile on the Magpul MOE models.

Makes sense.

I’m not an MBUS fan but it is more useful than a carry handle and I pretty much hate 20 round mags for anything other than an AR with a bipod or sighting in off a bench…

don’t see them on the site

Would be neat if colt put out a chopped carry handle like LMT’s, but I bet they are trying to stay cheap with the mbus.

That set up looks more practical than the LE6920 I purchased back in 1995. Most people buy their own cleaning kit and sling and store the ones Colt was offering with their rifles in the past, so I don’t disagree with not including them with the current rifle.

Which annoys me heavily as that is the attachment point I use on my KISS rifles.

Understand. I would always remove them as I would put a rail and a light at the 9 position.

I like it, but I’m glad I got my LE6920 with the two 20-round USGI mags, the carry handle, and the other butt stock.

I just noticed that. That’s a real bummer. One nice thing about a 6920 is that you could take it out of the box, throw a sling on it and go do whatever…

And they put that *** **** ******* parade sling mount on the bottom of the FSB. I hate those things with a passion…

Good to go I have two on back order.

Shit can the MBUIS but I’ll keep the Pmags.

You don’t happen to still have those takeoffs in a box somewhere do you? I could use two.

Are these still selling for 1200 bucks?

Before this latest panic…I thought about picking up a second 6920 but with the crazy prices and lack of ammo…I decided to wait it out.

I don’t think so.

The question is Grant, do you have any in stock? :slight_smile:

The one I picked up actually has it at the 9:00/Left side of the FSB and that’s all and good I guess but, doesn’t help me since I’m a lefty.
