A bad pic of the HBAR twins:

The top one is a late 70's top eject sans safety. The bottom is a 2002 angle eject with cross-bolt safety and sling mounts. Both in .30-30.

It's definitely a good AR and there are some good deals going on right now with them, probably because colt is going bankrupt. Some people praise anything colt puts out though like its the end all be all and eveything they make is the best xxx ever. I can't stand that. But the 6920 is a damn fine AR, that is definitely true. I prefer mid length AR's opposed to carbines though, so I'm going for something like a Spikes mid length or a PSA mid length upper with whatever lower I want. I wouldn't mind at all getting a 6920 though. If I had the money and already had a mid length I would certainly be considering one.

Check around online, I've been seeing the 6920 for around $900-$950, maybe even less..

Soooo, I went to the local 'big box,' but they weren't all that helpful. In fact, nobody said a word to me as walked back and fourth in front of the counter for about 30 minutes. Annoyed, I left.

Went to Bud's and ordered a 6920 Magpul. I'll admit that I'm excited for it to arrive.

Ehh, wouldn't be the first time.

The real headline will be when Colt finally closes their doors for good

Yeah, it's the second time I think. And I'm pretty sure it'll be the last time too, I don't see them coming back from it. Who knows, maybe they will. Honestly they aren't offering anything that great anymore. Their AR's are good for sure, but those and everything else they have is vastly over priced compared to the competition and for what you get... In my opinion. The deals on the 6920 and 6720 are pretty good right now I agree, however just a year or two ago and before sandy hook they were all over $1100. Unless I was looking for a WW2 1911, colt is the last manufacturer Id be looking at to get a 1911. Their bolt guns? Hell no. They don't even make the Python anymore. They really were hot shit back in the 90's and early 00 but they're just vastly overrated now in my opinion. They make a great AR Im not saying they don't, but people hold colt up on a podium like they're God still and I just don't see it. Just my thoughts.

It's all good. I wanted something middle of the road. Since I am just getting started (my first firearm), I didn't want to go overboard yet I didn't want to get 'junk.' At $900, I think I hit my mark. The Magpul version is currently cheaper than the standard flattop model. I actually found out about the bankruptcy this morning, lol. A good friend of mine was trying to steer me towards Daniel Defense, however, I could get two Colts for the same price. I couldn't justify it.
 
You got a great rifle by all means, have fun shooting it. If i was going to spend that price point, I would buy one too. I was going to actually, but I'm leaning towards a build around the $600 realm right now. And yeah Daniel Defense and BCM and LMT and all them are great rifles but wayy $$$
 
Just ordered a midlength upper! No BCG. Gonna get that and a complete lower next month I hope. Can't wait.

That's a nice looking upper, I really like that it doesn't have the stupid looking M4 cut in the barrel. Who makes it?

PSA. $260 with free shipping right now. Chrome moly vanadium steel barrel, 1/7 twist, chrome lined bore and chamber. HPT/MPI tested, etc. Forged 7075-T6 A3 AR upper thats hard coat anodized and has m4 feedramps.

It doesn't come with the BCG or charging handle, no rear site as well. Really good deal though, the quality is reputable.

They have "premium" A4 style uppers with FN barrels which are really good, price is a little higher. I don't like the hand gaurds on those though. They're like the a4 non taperd gaurds that dont have a smaller diameter closer to the front sight post. Looks too goofy to me. Could always switch them out though. I'm not going to be doing anything crazy to this rifle. Just iron sights for now and maybe a small light up front. Eventually I'll get a red dot and either run it 1/3rd co witness with the irons, or I'll get a flip up/back up rear sight and keep it down so I only see the front sight through the optic. I don't mind co witness but I don't like the rear sight in the way.

Nice 10/22 takedown, I want one of them as well. Shoot it yet? PSA probably has some CCI .22lr if you need ammo and don't mind ordering
 
Good stuff, guys.

Thanks! I snapped off 10 rounds about an hour ago in the back yard. I had probably 3500 rounds lying around already, but I brought home 655 more w/ the gun. Tried out a couple boxes of these guys to see how they are - that's what I fired today. Not as quiet as I was expecting, but not bad.

710 FPS is pretty wimpy so I have to cycle each round manually. Fun stuff though. A couple thoughts - I almost wish I had gotten the tactical version, which has the threaded barrel. Though I don't need to be buying a suppressor for it, lol. Would be really fun though. Also, the bolt-release is annoying. Cheap/easy fix I plan on doing though, no question.

Comes with this cool little bag though.

^^ Apparently the upper, outside pocket will hold an SR22, and the bottom will hold 6, 25 round mags. Pretty cool.
