In 2021, the majority of CR6920 rifles are using Cerro forged upper receiver (with the keyhole forge mark), but, unlike the 2020 models, which were Brass Aluminum (square forge mark), the uppers are not marked 'M4' above the gas tube entry also lack the military CAGE Code engraving, although the barrels are the same military grade and CAGE code roll marked. The Colt CR6920 is the latest design, released in 2020, and identical in all ways to the LE6920, but now engraved as a Carbine, and features a chrome-lined barrel with a 1:7' twist an adjustable-post front sight a rear Magpul Gen2 Back-Up Sight (MBUS) and a 30-round Magpul PMAG.

Colt's CR6920 series carbines share many features with their combat-proven brother, the Colt M4A1. This solid stock has a hard rubber buttpad, a sling swivel instead of a fixed loop, and no provision for storing a cleaning kit.Colt M4 / AR-15 Carbine 223/5.56 16.1' barrelВ CR6920 2020 law enforcement carbine, available to Law Enforcement and civilians featuring 30 round P-Mag and Magpul MBUIS backup rear sightД¬olt's reliability performance and accuracy provide our Armed Forces the confidence required to accomplish any mission. The fixed stock appears to be the same as seen on later variants, but itвЂ™s still different. The rear sights are only adjustable for windage. Gone are the forward assist and shell deflector making this a slick side upper receiver.

Outwardly, the rifle looks like most AR-15s, but as one comes closer the differences are apparent. In the handsДЄlthough this is an AR-15 rifle, it is a bit different from what most shooters are familiar with these days. Though it may sound strange, the AR-15 was not once the universally accepted rifle that is today. Armalite also offered itвЂ™s AR-180 as an alternative. Additionally gun buyers were more than content to purchase new or surplus M1 Carbines or Bill RugerвЂ™s newly introduced Mini-14 instead. Others were more familiar with the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine and the ARвЂ™s appearance turned off many shooters - the rifle was simply too different and ugly to add it to their collection. Yet many still remembered the rifleвЂ™s poor initial showing and shunned the AR-15. The markings also indicate the upper was forged for Colt by Kaiser Aluminum. Yet many collectors want the real thing - and will pony up the cash for a genuine example of the original вЂњblackвЂќ rifle. Perhaps they already have a tactical carbine? Perhaps simplicity appeals to them? Or perhaps theyвЂ™re simply driven by nostalgia they find their answer in the past.ДЇor these folks itвЂ™s not uncommon to build a replica of an early generation AR-15 out of a variety of new and/or surplus parts.

Today we have a dizzying array of вЂњblack riflesвЂќ to choose from and still, there are shooters who shout (sometimes angrily) that people should вЂњjust build their own AR.вЂќ This underlines a point - a discerning group of shooters have decided that this current crop of AR rifles simply arenвЂ™t for them. Forty-one years later and this Colt is now considered a collectorвЂ™s piece. Jimmy Carter was elected president and my Colt SP1 AR-15 left the factory in Hartford, Connecticut.
