WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (August 17, 2015) – Colt, the firearms industry leader and original producer of both the M16 rifle and M4 carbine for the US Government, has once again partnered with accessory manufacturer Magpul to offer an upgrade to Colt’s popular Magpul Edition series of carbines.

Featuring Magpul’s exciting new MOE Slim Line furniture in your choice of Black or Flat Dark Earth, the LE6920MPS comes equipped with Magpul’s new narrow design MOE SL parts including the handguard which has M-LOK™ mounting slots at the two, six, and ten o’clock positions, the buttstock which features anti-snag dual-side release latch, and the aggressively textured grip. Other accessories include a Magpul M-LOK vertical grip, MOE trigger guard, Magpul MBUS Gen 2 flip-up rear sight and a PMAG® 30 round magazine.

“This is an evolutionary step for our Magpul Series,” said Colt Product Director Justin Baldini. “Magpul continues to offer a truly functional, durable line of products, which we’re able to kit with our standard LE6920 to afford our customers an incredible value. This is a great opportunity to own a quality factory customized rifle, right out of the box.”

Magpul Industries is an accessories leader in the firearms industry. Based in Austin, TX, their products are fielded in high-demand environments throughout the world.

Looks like Aero got 'em a little worried......

[SINNER]

Colt has been selling rifles with Magpul furniture on them long before Aero made a rifle.

I was referring to the fact that they had to make such an announcement about it......ya know since they've been doing it for so long.

... so what makes this "evolutionary"? All they're doing is slapping on Magpul's latest gen stuff.

I wouldn't say it's groundbreaking, but just an update on an existing line. Add an optic, sling, white light, a couple more mags and you have yourself a great patrol carbine setup.

Off the rack, the 6920 is still a great gun, especially since it's about 1/2 of the price of a BCM Jack.

They do really need to get rid of the M4 barrel profile.

Without a doubt haha.

What contour would you like in a 6920?

[voodoo_man]

if they are $500 yeah, that'll work.

Lots of people are fans of the skinny barrel, which could be a seller. Personally, I think a SOCOM barrel is the cat's meow. It's an amazingly accurate barrel for a Field Grade gun. Although I'd want the 14.5" version.
