The Colt LE6940 Advanced Law Enforcement Carbine is the Tactical Operators answer to demanding situations. The advantage is unmatched. Built to mil-spec standards, no other company combines the quality and craftsmanship that Colt Defense LLC does. The LE6940 demonstrates fresh ingenuity with mil-spec hammer and trigger pivot pins, mil-spec backup iron sight and folding front sight for enhanced optical solutions, straight gas tube, and removable lower rail providing modularity for under-mounting accessories. The patented one-piece monolithic upper receiver incorporates a continuous mil-spec rail from the rear of the upper receiver to the front sight. This feature provides unmatched repeatability for mounting of optical systems, not found with separate handguard rail systems. Designed with accuracy in mind, it provides a true free-floating barrel, giving enhanced accuracy for longer-range acquisition capability.

I've had a Colt LE6920 for about a year and after seeing the increased accuracy of the floating barrel LE6940 at the range, I decided it was time to jump in and try one. In addition to the new rifle, I mounted a Vortex 6-24 x 50 scope, a Timney 3-pound trigger, and tried Black Hills 5.56 77 grain Sierra ammo for the first time. WOW! I shot a 10-shot group all within 1/2 inch of the bullseye at 100 yards after zeroing in. Best I have ever done. I also noticed that the rifle is less inclined to drift shots due to barrel heating. I couldn't be more pleased with my new Colt. I requested overnight delivery of the rifle and Bud's had it here the next day. After a very few minutes at the FFL, I was off to the range. That's a really great and rewarding 24 hours! Thanks, Bud's for a really great rifle!

Update. Ran about 100 rounds through the rifle of xm193 american eagle. Alittle bit more accurate than my 6920 and lighter. Very pleased with this colt.

Havent fired it yet. But all looks good. I have a 6920 also. This rifle is lighter. Looks different but I like it. One thing to note....my 6920 doesnt have a c marked bolt carrier. The 6940 does. The 6920 has an le-xxxxx serial number. The 6940 starts with a cr-xxxxx. I dont know if its out sourced or what but the rifle does look good so far. Had a better finish than my 6920. This rifle is lighter though. All I plan to add is a geiselle super 42 buffer n spring. They work well on d.i. carbines. Buds shipped fast. Ordered on Monday recieved on Friday to Texas.

Absolutely unhappy with this gun !!! Colt is my favorite gun maker period, I have this same monolithic platform in a 308cal . 901-16s , And other le6920s , this is the first rifle I had to stand at FFL and decide to send it back or keep it because of cosmetic flaws scuffs on barrel and lower , it looked USED , and for the price and colt brand I expected a lot more, I’m sure it shoots fine haven’t shot it yet , nothing against buds , colt should have not let this one out the door !!!

Well I love the Colt 6940 it’s a little overpriced, fit and finish is fair nothing remarkable, and it’s not a safe queen. It’s the kind of rifle you throw in the back your truck and you use it I have absolute confidence, because they work. Rest assured, it’s reliable and there’s something very special about owning a Colt. It’s almost a patriotic duty to have one in your collection.

Great rifle. Feels good, shoots good, looks amazing. Only complaint I have is that the description says the rear sight is a matech, this is not the case anymore( though if you research the rifle you will ses this). The rear back ups are magpul instead. Not a problem with me just a heads up to know exactly what you are buying.

A:either will work if you are doing more long range or even 100 yard shooting a scope would work better for fast paced close in work a red dot is much better I run a red dot with a 1 inch riser which make it co-witness with my iron sightsSee 4 more answers | -

A:Sorry about this Zakaria. Buds and other online retailers should put more effort in adequately describing and providing quality pictures of firearms to prevent just such an occurrence. I hope you still enjoy your quality rifle just the same.See 4 more answers | -
