COLT LE6920 SOCOM M4A1 Carbine 5.56 AR15 U.S. 

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks-Doug

Very Cool

Enjoy!

Appreciate your feedback, and thank you!🤘🤘

That Ruger 556 looks pretty good. I saw a tactical gray and black 556 model that looked really nice. This is my first Colt but pleased overall. I bought a Magpul MS3 sling and a B5 Systems Enhanced Sopmod stock for it. The waffle stock on it now seems sketchy.

Thank you for the feedback.👌👌

@@11binfantryfollowmeus.army95 Thank you for your service!

Appreciate the feedback. Good luck getting your new rifle. Thanks-Doug

bizzlebeedizzle3910 - I purchased at Atlantic Firearms. I see Arms Unlimited has them available under MSRP so that is great. This is my first Colt product but happy with quality and fit and finish. I'm Know the older Colts are more sought after especially if they came off the same assembly line as the military and law enforcement rifles. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the feedback

yeah, they are hit and miss in the market. When I started looking, they were $2,500 to $2,700. Sites like gun Broker usually have them. I waited a while to purchase because some videos showed the 2021 production models were missing some of the Colt markings. I got lucky and got a newly made 2022 production run. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the feedback! 404 Tactical

NICE- the LE6921 has the factory built short barrel- Sounds like you have a nice rifle there @willoneill7897. Thanks for the comments.

I think so too and I'm happy with it- that is all that matters. Thanks for the feedback!

Just appreciate the video!

Yeah, it seems odd for sure. I had covered it up on the box and some of the photos, but I couldn't find the electrical tape to use so on the rifle, so I just rolled with it plus I had already released a shorts video of the rifle and didn't have it covered there. Thanks for the comments!

@@lpz6564 thanks for the comments!

So what?

Both are great looking rifles. I added Carolina Laser Works custom UID tag to the lower receiver. Both the FN and Colt are overpriced IMO but I picked the right one. Thanks for the feedback.

@lasermaker5- no it has no markings but other years the SOCOM rifles did. Go figure. Thanks for the comments.

Well, it's been a few months. Did you make that decision yet on the new rifle? Sorry I missed your comments a while back and did not reply timely. Appreciate your feedback.👍👍

@@404tactical7 I ended up getting a rifle from Sons Of Liberty gun works. They’re in my home town so it just felt right. But I do want to still pick one of these up

Thanks for the feedback!

Well that isn't normal operation for any rifle new out of the box. I've never used the forward assist. Try this-remove the magazine, pull the charging handlle back, and lock bolt in open position. With the dust cover down, shine a light in there and see if everything looks right and no obstruction either. Next-try a new magazine and see if everything is good after that. If not try some different ammo. AR rifles like to be lubed, so make sure you drop some oil in and around the chamber and make sure the bolt carrier group is well oiled but not dripping. That is where I would begin.

@404tactical7 I tried using 55 grain fmj's. I can get them out but I REALLY have to pull back the charging handle. I mean HARD. It's to the point were on one occasion I had to fire the round in the chamber to get the round to eject. Im gonna get in contact with Colt on Monday. I would like to get my rifle shipped back to the factory to be looked at. I absolutely love the rifle but I want this looked at.

@404tactical7 oh and the rifle seems to fire just fine. It's just when I try to manually eject a live round from the chamber is when I have an issue. I've only shot it a few times.

BIG UPDATE!! I sent my rifle back to Colt. They polished the chamber and replaced my bolt carrier. It's seems to be a prancing pony of a rifle now and I'm happy! Mistakes were made, but Colt seems to have made it right.

@@Patriot1776American well that is good to hear- glad you finally got what you paid for

That's pretty cool. I don't have any of the older Colt rifles but the new ones I have are dope- shoot great, reliable and QC seems very good. I have never had a jam and I run through steel and brass without issue. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the feedback- 404 Tactical

Saw them advertised on Atlantic Firearms yesterday in stock for MSRP

nice

Good eyes. I checked and the forging is rough right there but there was also dog hair from our hairy 4-legged beast in that spot. Cleared now! thanks for the comments.

@@404tactical7 you're welcome!

Gracias, mi amigo. Thanks for the comments.

Not sure of the question but if the optic or iron signs are sighted in anything holding the barrel still during firing will improve point of aim and point of impact

@@404tactical7 I'm asking about the point of impact shifting away from the point of aim if you lean the rifle against a barricade. The handguard is not free floating, so I would expect pressure applied to it would influence the muzzle.

@@jacksquat2067 I sighted the rifle in using a bench and handguard rest with various sandbags all coming in contact with the upper receiver and barrel or RAS. I generally get the same accuracy but only shoot at 74 feet distance at the indoor range or on occasion an outdoor range that I can get out to 100 yards. Surely at longer distances accuracy would be affected more. A rifle with free float hand guards (some term as free float barrel) will give better accuracy but other things affect accuracy as well such as barrel length or the barrel being thicker or thinner. Barrel whip is different with longer barrels or thinner barrels etcetera. I will be trying out a BCM upper with 13 or 15" free float MLOK or KMOD. I haven't decided yet. Chrome lining on a barrel and cold hammer forging also affect accuracy as well as right grain weight projectile for your specific rifle and barrel twist rate. It's all a bit of trial and error. Thanks for your feedback.

This rifle did not have a cage code on the trigger guard. 13629 is on the receiver, the sling loop and the top of the barrel. I have seen other videos where the cage code was on the trigger guard though.

10-4 Thanks Bill

Charlie's custom clones has some in stock now I just got mine with cage code on it brand new in sealed bag

@@williamlong2360 Congrats on your purchase

Being in the army and doing tours in Iraq, my m4s had wobble between the upper and lower. With this rifle, you are paying for a clone of a grunts military rifle, not fit and finish of a high end commercial rifle.

@@brandonlesgo9563 I see your point. I served in the Army too from 1988 to 1994. My beat up M16 had a big wobble. My point is if Colt is going to charge me a high end commercial rifle price of $1500, then shouldn't I get a high end rifle quality? If I paid between $500 to $800 for an AR15 then I'd expect imperfection.

@@AE-hi9uj I get ya. But no wobble = not clone correct 🤣. The FN military collector m4s have better fit and finish. Just fyi

Don’t worry about the wobble. Every colt I’ve ever shot or inspected had some. It’s kinda like slide rattle on pistol. Really not a big deal and will not affect accuracy. In fact will most likely enhance reliability. My 2 cents, lol.

A E, there is some wobble between upper and lower. May be due to the size of take down pins or just loose tolerances as the cause. Can be corrected with a wedge that can be fitted in the rifle. These rifles are mil-spec and not ballroom Cinderellas so if it does not affect the safety or accuracy of the rifle I would not worry about it. That is my opinion. Thanks for the comments.

You have an Eagle eye. I tried using the golf course, but they kept asking me to leave-something about a membership or something. LOL. Thanks for the feedback.

This one is marked 4U486 which is the cage code for P&S. There are some with 13629 and 4U486 on the same stock. This one was has the generic round medallion on the side. It is very plasticky feeling. I replaced it with a B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD stock.

16.1" overall length with 14.5" SOCOM barrel with the extended flash hider pinned and then welded together.

@asad61065 - the rifle is a clone of the M4A1 sold commercially for civilian use. It is not a US Government issued M4A1 but has similar markings. It is marketed as LE6920.

Cerro Fabricated Products makes the raw forging with this keyhole mark. This raw forging is supplied to companies, like Colt, RRA, DPMS and Bushmaster who actually finish the receiver. There are generally 3 companies that create the raw forging. They all do quality work. The upper receiver forgings are all essentially the same, they simply come from different forging houses. The quality of the upper receiver ultimately comes from the manufacturer that CNC machines the raw forging into the upper. The company that applies the anodizing is then responsible for how well the finish of the upper becomes. Hope this helps

The civilian model 6920 is the civilian version of the Colt M4 Carbine used by modern militaries. The 6920 is semi-auto.

Maryland has many restrictive laws regarding firearms and accessories. You would have to check the wording of those laws. Sorry, I'm not much help on the question.

Yep I am of the differences in mil-spec, quality control, outsourced parts and all of that. The older rifles produced prior to 2012 were all manufactured by Colt with Colt parts. Not saying anything about the quality now just know they are different but a lot of changes occurred after the M4 contract went to FN. I knew what I was buying before I made the purchase, and I liked the rifle because it had parts and markings other rifles didn't have. Check out some videos from a former engineer at Colt here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CNXD_LUT61M.html. Thanks for the feedback.

@@404tactical7 The new CZ Colts are still top quality. I have the gauges, knowledge and TDP specs and these Colts are still some of the finest AR rifles being made today. The new Colt Bolt carrier groups are right smack in the middle in the TDP tolerance, which is outstanding quality. The Colt barrels always pass the function gauge and true go head space gauge of 1.4646.. Out of spec chambers are not uncommon in the market today, but I have yet to find any Colt barrel out of spec.. The upper and lower receivers are always in tolerance, which many other popular manufacturers receivers fail.. Colt is still the standard others need to be judge by..

Actually no difference

Cr serial number does not indicate expanse model. There were cr serials on these guns before colt sold.

@@Sl-oj2bb True- after reading more think the CR serial numbers started on certain Colt models in 2018

Still going for about $1k. One of the most popular AK platform rifle.

It is not even as good as a Palmetto State Armory premium rifle or kit with FN CHF barrel. It is only valuable because of Colt fanboys. It will definitely hold value because of fanboys but the performance and specs are quite average.

The price I would say is mostly Supply versus Demand. I wanted it for the Property of U.S. Government markings on the receiver. The KAC rail is a $300 option, the SOCOM barrel is more $$ but not needed for civilian shooting. Thanks for the comments!

@@mattmurphy7030the rail is $300 alone, the socom barrel goes for about $300 and is one of the most accurate service rifle barrels out there, markings are there.

@@4150CHF No, if you had the gauges, knowledge and TDP specs you would understand why Colt is still the rifle others are judged by.. I love to put other peoples AR rifles on my bench and then give them my report card after gauging their master pieces..There is more to an AR rifle than a roll mark..

@@4150CHF BAHAHHAHAHAAAAHAHAAA😂😂😂😂

If you shop around they go for about 1200

Yes. I found this one at MSRP. Good score. The same website has them listed at same price but hasn't had them in stock for 5 months. I've seen them for $2300-$2700 now

Considering what a knights rail, front grip and the matech flip up rear sight would be going for (its been extremely hard to find knights rails recently) you're not really getting that bad of a deal for $1500, Considering that it is a colt. Once you go up from there, you're paying too much

I’ve built a CHF 20in from PSA for less than $700. I like the history with colt, but not for $2000+

Agree on the marketing and branding. They need to learn some lessons. I haven't seen the PSA box but the FN SOCOM box looks really nice and the FN SOCOM looks like it has better fit and finish but in the end I just wanted to pay for the Colt name. Thanks for the feedback!

Its the same style box that would be shipped to military units which goes with what purchasers of this rifle are wanting. When i was a seabee and we got new FN M16s they were in plain brown cardboard boxes in a clear plastic bag just like this.

@@americanmilitiaman88 True on everything you stated. My purchase was based off what was in the box and not what the box looked like. I'm pleased. thanks for the comments!

Congrats on your Urgie Purchase. Doesn't that rifle have colt part like the Upper and BCG?

@aldo-228-For sure they cannabalized their rifle manufacturing line in the last decade. I have had ZERO issues with older Colts when everything was made in-house and ZERO issues with ones made in the recent era with everything contracted out. Agree that there are higher quality rifles out there for the $$. S&W, Ruger or FN rifles are no better or worse for the price. I have a PSA15 that won't cycle Steel case ammo and an IWI X95 that gets really inaccurate after 50 rounds (but only sometimes). I have no concerns on the Colts I run. May not be all put together by the Old Pony Rifle maker but they aren't asking $2-3k for their rifles anymore. Time will tell. Thanks for the comments.

You are wrong.

Love Colt rifles

Enjoy! Thanks for the feedback

Why??

Why is it trash? Let's hear your 'expert' opinion.

@@dhornb1 Crickets..Colt troll haters are always pathetic..

Good to know Jeff Szakacs- thank you for the feedback

@jonathansheeder5153- what is your brand preference if I may ask? thanks for the feedback!

Colt still holds closer to the TDP better than any other rifle on the market, considering they own the TDP spec in the first place..

@@hairydogstailHaters

Well , first thing , this is not a Colt M4 , second thing , you really should do your research before you comment .

@@stevenkatz679 oh ok… it’s a “LE6920 SOCOM M4A1”. Still a mediocre rifle at best. I can tell you’re one of the dumbasses that paid top tier AR prices for a average rifle lmao. Tell me what makes the rifle worth that money…..I’ll wait. It’s basic as shit. You paid for the name Colt, which is not worth their weight in shit. Go try to convince your airsoft buddies it’s worth that much, kid.

It only makes me feel sorry for you.

The forging marks will only tell you the forging house that produced it. Cerro Forge = Keyhole. Other widely produced receivers have the Square or A. There are many other forging houses with various letters or symbols. The serial number is the way to identify the year that receiver /rifle was produced. If full auto, it was later variation and an upgrade from 3 round burst variant.
