I'm glad I didn't wait when those CM762 were selling for $1400+/- over the summer!

I considered it for awhile but at that price point I just couldn't say no. I wish I had bought two of them now!

I just got a conversion block from Brownells so I can use a 5.56 upper on it.

Yeah, the best I saw was $1385. I’m kicking myself now. Oh well.

Anyone looking for a Colt upper, Brownells has the Colt LE6960 CCU 16" upper on sale for $512, plus you can get 11 or 12% off today, bringing the price down to $450-460 with free shipping.

That gets you a Colt lightweight middie 16" barrel with dual pinned low pro gas block, Centurion Arms 13" MLOK handguard, with a Colt upper receiver. No BCG or CH, but when you compare high quality lightweight barreled free-floated uppers like BCM, DD, Centurion Arms, etc; $450 is a heck of a deal for one of these. My comparable BCM Upper, a 16" ELW mid-length gas barrel with KMR rail, no BCG or CH was $675 and this is pretty much its equal.

Some of the early reviews had assembly issues, but mine is flawless with correct rail installation, etc.

A pic from 2016 of my 2012 production Colt 6920LE. I've made some changes to this rifle since this was taken. The rifle still wears the Blue Force Gear VCAS. I've changed the Magpul MOE grip to an MOE+. I switched the Troy rear sight to a nicer (IMO) Daniel Defense A1.5 rear sight. The Surefire Scout Light head was changed from a 300B to a 300C for higher light output. The ALG QMS trigger has been replaced with a Geissele SSA.

BCM Model 5 charging handle, H2 buffer, AAC Blackout flash hider for my AAC M4-2008 suppressor. LaRue clips cover the exposed section of receiver rail. Magpul furniture. IWC mount for the Scout Light. Lancer magazine loaded with 28 rounds of Federal M193. This rifle stays with me at all times possible, along with a Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed 6 Pack bandolier holding 5 Okay Surefeed phosphate magazines, each loaded with 28 rounds of Federal M193. It's about five feet from me right now.

Well, I was inspired by this thread and my house alarm going off at 4:00 am to set up a dedicated HD go to carbine. I dug out a Colt 6720 with FDE magpul furniture and added an x300 light. I’ll order a DD fixed rear sight. Maybe a T1? Maybe a sling? Not sure. I want to keep it light and simple. I’ll try and post a pic soon.

My usual HD rifle is a BCM SBR with Saker-K and T-2, but after my Saker launched downrange the other week that rifle is sidelined until I can change the MAAD Trifecta muzzle device out for a 51T 2.0 Brakeout.

It was comforting to pull the next rifle on deck, my LE6920 Trooper and put the HD magazine in the well. It's simple, with a Surefire M300 light, Aimpoint H-2 , Magpul Pro rear sight, BCM PNT Trigger, and BFG VCAS sling. It doesn't have a suppressor mount yet but I scored a couple more 51T mounts on Black Friday and it'll be getting one of them.

Quick question though on the optional 5.56 upper conversion kit. It shows "14.5" barrel. I know the flash hider is NOT welded and pinned. So, does that makes it an "SBR" upper? Can the flash hider be "welded and pinned" to make it ATF compliant as 16 inch?

I probably need to use my DD Mk 18 With suppressor in the house. I hate having a 2 stamp gun just sitting around the house though and it’s pretty heavy. Need a gas buster charging handle too.

Thank you!

It was a better deal with 10% off, but they have $35 off $300+, which brings it to $552 with 39MM mount.

I got the same H-2 from Natchez for $525 last year, sold the LRP mount for $50 and bought an ADM mount for $70.

I almost bought another over Black Friday when they were 10% off this price, but was able to resist (I already have accumulated a T-2/H-2/Pro/M4S over the years).
