Compatibility Tags
Overview
The Colt CR6920 / 6920 Carbine is Colt's classic 6920-pattern commercial carbine. It keeps the familiar M4-style layout: a 16.1-inch 4150 CMV chrome-lined M4-profile barrel, direct-gas operating system, fixed A2 front sight, Magpul MBUS rear sight, Magpul MOE furniture, and 30-round PMAG where legal. Older LE6920 rifles carry collector and military-contract associations, but the current CR6920 is not the same TDP/fire-control package Colt supplied under legacy M4A1 contracts. The LE6920, CR6920, and EPR are distinct variants.
Key Features
- 16.1" 4150 CMV chrome-lined M4-profile barrel, 1:7 twist, 1/2x28 threads
- Carbine-length direct impingement gas system with F-marked front sight base
- M4 feed ramps machined into upper receiver and barrel extension
- Magpul MOE polymer drop-in handguards, MOE grip, MOE carbine stock
- Magpul MBUS folding backup sights front and rear
- Standard A2 birdcage flash hider on threaded muzzle
Pros
- +Colt commercial 6920-pattern carbine with proven M4 lineage
- +Chrome-lined 4150 CMV barrel with familiar M4-profile handling
- +Fixed A2 front sight and MBUS rear sight are usable out of the box
- +Excellent parts availability and 30+ years of aftermarket support

- +Resale value holds well versus generic mil-spec clones
Cons
- −MOE polymer handguards are not free-float and have no M-LOK
- −Heavier (6.9 lbs) than current free-float carbines like BCM RECCE-16
- −A2-style fixed front sight base limits free-float rail length options
- −Legacy LE6920, CR6920, and EPR variants should be tracked separately
- −No ambidextrous controls from the factory
