The Colt 6920 is a measuring stick for AR's. Out of the box it is a bear bones ready to go AR. A few distributors offer " enhanced version"But as far as Colt goes this is it. Nothing fancy just effective.
What makes the AR platform great is how flexible it is. Tire of the carrying handle no problem take it off you have a rail insatll aftermarket rear A2 type sight good to go
Few months latter ready for something different 7 1/4 inch free float 4 sided rail ( picture 1 of many option)
now you are ready to hang anything you want on. You may want rail covers them things are sharp. Front pistol grip not great for range shooting but if you need to smack someone great.
A more personalized grip makes some shooter happy as this one has. And while you are at it why not a tactical bolt release, just because you can.
If you want to a swap of the gas block will allow full length rails. Again easy to do.
Best part none of this is overly expensive if you shop right, it allows you even more flexibility with your weapon, and none of it requires gun smith work no permanent changes are made to it and you can do it your self with basic tool and an AR armors wrench. The second shot shows it with a non free float hard mount rail. That was taken off and replaced it was then given to someone that needs it. It pays to hang out with AR owners.
Take from this there is little wrong when it comes to an AR. Your canvas your cash.
