Colt’s LE6920 Rifle
Now Offered Standard
With Eight Mapgul Accessories

(GunReports.com) – Colt Defense LLC will bring to market the LE6920MP, a rifle standard equipped with many of Magpul’s most popular firearm accessories. This rifle is the first product Colt Defense and Magpul have developed together.

At the base of this new AR platform rifle is Colt’s 6920 Law Enforcement Carbine. With a fully retracted buttstock, the carbine measures 30.5 inches and weighs in at 6.8 pounds.

The advantage of the LE6920MP is the addition of Magpul’s American-made accessories as standard equipment. The Magpul Original Equipment (MOE) additions are cost effective products engineered to enhance weapon performance and usability.

Says Drake Clark, Senior Director of OEM sales, Magpul Inds. Corp, “The integration of Magpul’s industry leading designs into Colt’s top quality AR-15s brings tremendous value to the customer.”

Magpul accessories on the new Colt LE6920MP platform include the MOE Vertical Grip (MVG), MOE Hand Guard, Generation 2 Rear Back-Up Sight (MBUS), MOE-K Hand Grip, MOE Trigger Guard, MOE Carbine Stock and two durable 30-round Magpul Polymer Magazines (PMAG).

The Magpul MOE Vertical Grip, which is attached to the mid-length MOE Hand Guard and features an ergonomic design, is optimized for use with the thumb break shooting method. The LE6920MP is the only rifle on the market that offers the MVG as standard equipment.

The Generation 2 Magpul Rear Back-Up Sight is a spring-loaded flip-up sight that stows to just .51 inches above the rail and can be folded with either aperture in position. The MOE-K Hand Grip, with a compact design and a steeper, more vertical grip angle allows for improved comfort and control. Paired with the MOE-K grip is the polymer MOE Trigger Guard that has rounded edges and features a shallow “V” shape, beneficial for shooters wearing gloves in tactical or cold weather operations.

Also issued on the rifle is the MOE Carbine Stock, which has a streamlined A-frame profile. An extra-power lock mechanism with premium chrome-silicon springs helps to prevent auto-collapse failure and resists spring relaxation to deter auto-collapse failure. The rubber buttpad offers prevention from shoulder slippage, even while wearing modular gear or body armor.

All models also come with two durable 30-round Magpul Polymer Magazines which have become the industry standard for reliable, impact resistant and resilient rifle-compatible magazines.

I suppose if you're a Magpul fan this is great news. I'd have preferred to see something about the rifle itself - how it functions, shoots, handles, etc.

Well, anyway you cut it, all indications are that Colt is, once again, devoting some attention to providing firearms to the general population instead of confining their efforts to government sales only. I view this as good news, and I hope that Colt will expand their line of handguns back to what it used to be.

I'd be thrilled to be able to buy some new production Colt products if they have the old-school Colt quality. I'll cross my fingers!

Roger that, david b. In recent years, I have found that gun shows are fertile fields in which to reap some pretty nice Colt products. I have several Colt revolvers that are in near mint condition, but I would love to purchase some of the same in new production condition.

I also would be glad to see some new Colts out there as long as the prices aren't up in the clouds like some makers are doing any more. God Bless America and Our Troops Past Present and Future.

Regrettably, bear 1, I fear that prices are all going to stay up in the clouds for the foreseeable future. It still doesn't dampen one's enthusiasm though.
