Yes. Or MRO.
Personally, I would also add this rail and buy ammo, use up, repeat.

Definitely a good deal and I'd snag it right now.
Better is a matter of opinion when it comes to ergos and whatnot.
When it comes to function, a 6920 can't be beat. Equaled? Sure.
I've been playing with ARs for 20 years and I've had 'em ALL. The ONLY one out there that is really, functionally improved is the KAC E3. They were awesome when they first came out, but have long since been somewhat over-gassed and I really just don't think they shoot any better than a carbine Colt anymore. Same for most all mid-lengths built in the past decade. They build 'em around Tula steel case or PMC bronze ammo and they're reliable, but they killed the advantage of the mid-length port location.
This made me go find the paperwork to see what I paid for mine...ordered it in '98 when the 6920's first came out (serial #0022xx ).
Yes on the Aimpoint Pro.
IMHO, before putting a 300.00 rail on a 900.00 gun, you could spend that same 300 on some magpul goodnees re "rails", light mount, light, vertical foregrip, sling etc and still have money left over toward a class.
Handguards 35
VFG/mounts 45
Light Mount 40
Light SF G2
@600 Lumens 60
Sling/mounts 70 =250
My prices presume full retail on magpul stuff. You can get it or functional equivs cheaper if you shop around.
FWIW/YMMV

I was just cleaning house and came upon the Dept proposal I was involved with and the individual officer purchase price was $1600 through our usual distributor. I jumped at a gun for $1250 shipped. Then promptly hung another $1500 worth of Larue, Magpul, Vltor, Aimpoint, Boonie Packer, and Tango Down stuff on it. No birthdays, Christmas, or Valentines Days until the She Who Must Be Obeyed settled down.
Pat Rogers was such an enabler....

Update here, finally closed this deal right before the madness hit a couple weeks ago. This is what I ended up getting for $1000.

I was not expecting to receive 3 windowed gen 3 PMAGs and 80 rounds of the Federal T223L ammo. Nor was I expecting the Blue Force padded sling and carry handle. The ammo seems good to go based on DocGKR's list but feedback is welcome. I'm not going to be trying to take bad guys down through windows and walls on a regular basis.
The intent of this purchase was to acquire a general purpose rifle for an average citizen. I don't intend to compete or attend a large number of training classes. It obviously will be shot at the range, in a couple of classes, and remain close at hand in a quick access safe in the master bedroom. With that being said, would it be worth swapping the carry handle out now for an Aimpoint PRO or would I be better served running it as is for awhile first. My inclination is to get the PRO on there ASAP and begin learning it. But I do like how light and rugged it seems stock right now. Also wondering about replacing handguard with the KAC RAS or a Magpul to make it easier to attach a light.
Again, I appreciate any thoughts and opinions. Thank you.
Congrats! Looks to be a helluva deal!
I just got an email from Centurion Arms. I have the Troy Delta on my 6920. But I’d go with this if I was doing it today.

Concur very strongly re adding the Aimpoint Pro to the rifle. $450 ish shipped from a number of places.
