My local gun shop has Colt M4 Carbine (on the rollmark) Sporter for $699. No MAGPUL furnite. Standard fare. The barrel is marked C 1/7 Nato 5.56 or something

What's the difference between these and 6920LE?

That's the new Expanse. It's not chrome lined, no forward assist or dust cover, no carry handle.

Sounds like the 6920, for $700 bucks, your not going to lose money if you decide you dont like the rifle. If you dont want to spend that kind of cash, build a PSA rifle, get a lower from CG&P for about $170 out the door, and order any upper you want, and you could be in the rifle for around $500 bucks, so you have that option as well...

But its hard to beat a Colt for $700 bucks, If you have the cash, I'd pick it up, if your looking to get into the AR game.

I've seen these on slickguns for $600 if I recall. Once shipping and transfer fees are included, you're at around the same price.

Personally, I would through in around another $200 or so and get the 6920 model. But that's just me.

I did not buy one. Rather have a M&P Sport 2 for $550, or Armalite Eagle Arms 15.

thanks guys
