Colt 2013 vs 2014?

[Creeky73]

I am seeing on Gunbroker that some Colt products are 2013 versions and some are 2014. Can anyone tell me what the difference is?

thanks in advance

Are you talking about the entire line or a specific model?

Colt in 2013, for the 6920 stopped shipping the guns with the removeable carry handle and now use the Magpul MBUS 2. They also stopped including the cleaning kit and sling. Instead of the two 20rd USGI mags, you now get one PMAG.

Not sure what all the new changes for 2014 are, but this video shows some upcoming models and some changes, such as ambi controls for the 6920.

yep the 6920's are what I was primarily talking about, sorry I did not make that clear. That kinda sux about the rear sight too, I might be the only one but I actually wanted the carry handle :(

You can often find carry handles than are new take-offs, sometimes at a decent price.
