Hi All,
About two hours ago I was in my LGS, one of the largest in central Florida. He showed me a brand new Colt factory 6920 with a pinned on larger than normal A2 flash hider. He said Colt was using up some 14.5 barrels and they did this to comply with the Feds.
Is this a legit new model from Hartford? I’ve never seen them pin on a flash hider.
Thanks and I hope you all had a reverent Memorial Day Weekend
It was likely not a 6920. It was probably a CE2000 w/Socom barrel and pinned Vortex FH.
Thank you All, it does have the side sling adapter under the FSB and is a nice looking 6920 with the normal round handguards. I just wanted to make sure this was not an after market work up.
Well, I’ll be…thanks for info:smile:
That link is to my topic. I still have it but haven’t had time to shoot it still. According to what was posted there they only put out 300 of these but have something similar coming out later this summer. Im thinking that maybe they’re rereleasing the SOCOM I, just a guess.
Here’s a link to my topic, Colt Expanse CE2000HB:
If that’s a chrome lined SOCOM (M4A1) barrel that’d be cool. I would rather have an extended A2-style FH like the one BCM makes than a Vortec, but that’s just me.
I was told by a colt rep around a month ago, that we may (no guarantee) see something similar to that configuration in a regular production rifle. Possibly in a couple months.
I’m interested in Grants thoughts on this one. He seems to have a good handle on the Colt stuff. Is this Davidsons only, or can others get in on it? I’m a bit particular on who I give money to…
There is a factory Colt rifle model LE6920HBPW
It uses a 14.5" SOCOM barrel with an extended flash hider somewhat resembling an A2 flash hider.
There is one on gunbroker here:
I remember seeing something like this from weapons world about 2 years ago advertised as a contract overrun. They started at $1499 and continued to drop in price until just under $1000.
Edit: Found it in an old email.
It was an M4 SOPMOD with a 14.5" machine gun barrel with a pinned A2. So not the same as in OP.
Hey scottryan, the GunBroker link looks just like the model I handled. The flash hider is an exact match, being pinned at the six o’clock position. I did not know enough at the time to ask if it was a SOCOM barrel. The price tag was $1199. Maybe I should rethink this or is their asking a bit high?
Thanks to All
Found the LE6920HB for $940 & up yesterday, during a net search…
If this has a true colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel it’s probably the best deal you could get on the market today
Would really like to know if the upper receiver and BCG are true Colt parts…cant imagine that they’d really save enough to outsource those parts…even if it doesn’t come with a dust cover or forward assist (although they are pictured) those are easy enough to add if wanted (I’d probably just add an SI dust cover if they don’t come with one as they can be installed without removing the barrel/nut).
Just bought that Carbine, see my link on first page of this thread.
It is a true Colt 14.5" SOCOM barrel.
Upper & bolt not Colt. Has dust cover & forward assist…
It’s worth whatever somebody wants to pay.
Personally I do not have one because I do not buy guns with permanent flash hiders.
I also do not buy stock carbines with 16" barrels.
Believe it or not, I dont own a regular LE6920 or AR6720 carbine.
All the Colt carbines I own are factory SBRs and non-catalog models.
