Very nice ..

A Colt never looked so good. This is exactly why I'm looking forward to an OEM2 version of the 6720

[DutyUse]

Agreed. I think the 6720 oem2 would be a home run for colt

Right?! I mean that just seems like a no brainer. Why they decided to go with a 16" M4 Barrel with the OEM2 blows my mind. Maybe they figure people will install long rails and cover up the M4 notch. A 6720 barrel would hit it out of the park like you said.

At least Colt is somewhat finally adjusting to the consumer market.

[DutyUse]

I'm hoping their starting to figure it out over there. I've been worried they might go under with all the poor choices mgt has been making. You can't coast off the success of the 6920 forever, hell the only minor change in a decade was adding moe furniture.

[BoilerUp]

That looks very nice, but it seems like an expensive way to buy a Colt Bolt Carrier Group since that's about the only thing left over from the original rifle that really matters.

...I have to agree...

Still though. Nice rifle.
