    I want one. I have absolutely no need for it. I already have two ARs that I barely shoot anyway since what time I do find to shoot, I use for my handgun. And yet, I'm looking at a Colt 6920 with a free float MLock rail for $700. I don't need it and I don't think I should buy it, but I think I'll kick myself if I decide not to when the market corrects itself and all the just-in-case-Clinton-won inventory is sold off.

    Help me Pistol-Forum, you're my only hope. I'm not sure if I want your help taking me into a purchase or out of one though.

    Nope. I owe you guys for the two PX4CC pistols and the 1301 I now own. Now your bank accounts will feel the pain of my bank account.

    DO IT! DO IT NOW!

    Seriously, I have a couple of personal ARs already, and issued Mk18 and MP5, don't NEED that rifle at all. But, at that price, I'm having a really hard time keeping my wallet in my pocket...

    I'll try and talk you out of it.

    Get an oem2 for $650 instead!

    You don't need the furniture for its intended use (which is ensuring you don't kick yourself in two years), and you can get whatever rail/stock/grip is ideal for you later.

    Extra $75 for the Centurion MLOK is the most appealing part of the package.

    I wish they would have just gone with regular MLOK Centurion rail instead of this unique version. I get why they didn't, but I can't imagine this new handguard actually saves them more than $25-50.

    Seeing how people buy Colt rifles and part them out constantly, maybe Centurion didn't want their premier rail being flipped on the part-out market for dirt cheap?

    I don't disagree, unless you really want a different rail for some reason. And if the rifle is just going to sit in the back of a safe anyway you could save some money and swing the purchase vs not getting anything.

    Mainly, I'm just glad we are having a discussion between buying a 6920 eom for $650, vs a 6920 with a free float rail for $700. Did not see that coming last year.

    Speculating here but Colt released a rifle called the "Trooper" at the same time TX DPS is testing replacements for their current issue Bushhampsters. If you are bidding on a contract for a few thousand rifles that $25 to $50 adds up.

    I replaced mine with a CMR that uses the MLOK barrel nut that I had in the parts bin. There's a difference in barrel nuts between the first generations of CMR rail and the newer keymod and MLOK. The CMR-OEM rail uses the standard MLOK barrel nut but deletes the center screw, instead it uses a plate sandwiched between the two sides of the rail. The plate has a nub which engages the groove in the barrel nut, preventing it from slipping off. The whole time I was making the switch I couldn't help but think how much cheaper the one extra screw would have been versus how they changed it.
