Just put in the order for one of these. How'd I do? Shit on my choice or tell me I dun good.

They are solid guns, it will serve you well. All the cool kids are going to mid-length gas now, tho.
Car gas with a 16 inch

>that gay front sight
But you probably don't give a shit and made this thread for a hopeful pat on the back. If you have any semblance of a brain in you, cancel the order and do some fucking research before you buy a gun and not after.
>>29472986
what the fuck are these sights
>>29473014
The rear sight is kinda neat though.
>>29473049
Newsflash, you can buy them on ebay for cheap.
Fucking retard. Don't you remember? You used one back in the army my short bus friend!
>>29473076
Ouch, why so mean? I'm not the one that bought this rifle. (' ; w ; ')
Oh, by the way OP, if you are reading this please try to get your money back as soon as possible.
It's basically a 6920, which is pretty good as far as AR15s go.
I don't like the idea of the monolithic upper. The biggest selling point.of the AR is that you can change shit out at will.
Thus I would have gone with the 6920/SOCOM.
So why the hate for 16inch gas? Is they a negative effect?
>>29472870
depends on the price, frankly. Since it's a 6940 I'm assuming you overpaid
>>29473536
midlength gas on a 16" has less recoil and less parts wear. does that mean 16" carbine is bad? no. can you do better? yes.
>>29473536
Midlength is much better for 16 inch.
If you want a carbine gas system, get a 14.5
I feel like everyone on this thread is trolling
I was here a few months ago and everyone was shitting on midlength gas systems.
>>29473638
couldn't you just buy an adjustable gas block and mitigate all of those issues?
>>29473638
While true, its not really something that isnt solvable. I mean, cant you just drop in a heavier buffer?
>>29472986
>a folding front sight is gay
Seems like all the benefits of the regular front sight without the drawback of it interfering with optics. How is that gay?
>>29472870
> monolithic upper
not ever
>>29474938
>>
not that guy but what is wrong with a monolithic upper i though t they were better because they flex less, and help accuracy and strength of the gun and all that happy horse shit
>>29474772
You should have been here long enough to know that /k/ will always shit on whatever topic is on hand and support the opposite.
>>29474956
> non-standard barrel extension and barrel nut
don't confuse this with a free float rail. I have an LE6920 and two rifles that are free floated, but they all have a standard upper receiver with barrels that have standard extension.
>>29473499
You are so fucking dumb
Stop posting

>Not making your rifle with parts kits and uncut lower.
I bet you own a mac as well you faggot.
>>29472870
You'll enjoy it. Contrary to popular belief you don't have to build a rifle every fucking time you want a rifle.
I had a Daniel Defense V11 and traded it for an M&P sport. Went from a Trijicon Acog to a Barska Red dot off Amazon. Couldn't be happier.
OP here. Bump goddamnit /K/ answer my fucking questions
>>29474811
>>29474893
You could do these but it will probably lead to reliability issues.
>>29476543
people have said good job, and others have said it's shit - which is pretty par for the course on /k/. what more did you expect?
>>29476489
Why'd you trade in the DD for the Sport?
>>29477063
DD quality is shit
>>29476489
Subtle home builds are shit bants is subtle.
Love it.
>>29478436
You're...an idiot
>>29473014
>what the fuck are these sights
always loose.
but they do make a good start for dremeling into a lo-pro gas block.
>>29472870
Personally, I think the 6920 is probably the best deal Colt has right now. but the 6940 doesn't really seem too much different other than being more expensive.
>>29473536
they are dumbfucks who drank the koolaid.
carbine works just fine, and ensures your shellcases are flung out rather than just extracted. Just put a H2 buffer in it if they are flying forward (ie 12-2 o'clock)
>>29474956
monolithic is best. poorfags complain cause proprietary tools, sour grapes and they are naturally clumsy idiots who dont put rail protectors on their PSA discount mystery aluminum rails.
>>29476489
>I had a Daniel Defense V11 and traded it for an M&P sport. Went from a Trijicon Acog to a Barska Red dot off Amazon.
sounds like you lost your job but still wanted to shoot....
Why the fuck is everyone giving the guy shit for ordering a quality firearm when you have other people trading in Daniel defense rifles for M&P sports? What the fuck?
>>29479193
All internet gun boards are full of faggots who shit on 16in carbine gas guns or quadrails or whatever else isn't in "vogue" at the moment because they're way too invested in their up-to-date snowflakes ARs or whatever.
