Question on 6920 LE

[Joe in PNG]

You did very well.

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

I got both of mine lightly used on the AR15.com EE for $300-350. I think the 2nd one I bought was $350 shipped but came with a LaRue mount I sold for $140 less shipping fees. No reason not to buy used IMO.

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.

Nothing wrong with issue fore end for your stated use. The Magpul fore end isn’t a bad choice either.

I prefer the T/H type Aimpoint sights over the PRO, but either works. I’d suggest replacing the carry handle with whichever BUIS you plan on using and shoot with those until you can get the optic you choose.

Keeping an eye out for pre-owned PRO right now. Swapping the plastic Magpul rear out for a steel Magpul pops had laying around.

How would I mount a Scout M600U to the stock handguard? I’m assuming something that can bolt onto the vent holes but that seems iffy.

Thank you all for helpful replies.

There are light mounts that work off the bayonet lug and others that bolt up to the front sight A Frame. I’ve seen others that were basically a hose clamp type apparatus around the stock fore end. The Magpul fore end with a section of Pict rail may be the best option for attaching a WML.

BTW Congrats on a great deal on a solid rifle!

Mounting a M600 on a factory carbine handguard will be a tight fit, but I'm sure it can be done. I have Surefire G2X mounted on a an IWC mlok mount that works well with Magpul MOE handguard.

You can also get a number of mounts that will clamp around the front sight base. I have this one from Midwest Industries:

It works splendidly for accommodating a typical Surefire light that is easily activated with your forward hand.

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 ).

Wow. That's about what I paid for my first Bushmaster at about the same time.

This. Probably the best option for a gun with standard CAR or M4 hand guards.

That looks pretty slick. Thank you for the suggestion.
