S&W M&P 15 Sport 2 or Colt 6720?

[BillOReitz_II]

Long/ short: Colt 6720 is a far superior carbine to even the hallowed 1st gen S&W Sport. Nothing WRONG with Sport as a "sport" gun.

I recommend M4carbine.net for answers on AR topics. No opinions, no sport-oriented BS, just the sometimes hard truth from top professionals.

Seems like some pretty good information.  I don't think there's a clear winner between the two barrel linings.

Looks nice, what's the best Nashville area place/price for a 6720 ?

 

FWIW, the Colt was worth it and it is a legit 6720.   :)

I got mine for $800 out the door (including taxes, background, everything) at Goodlettsville Gun Shop.  Not sure if they have any left, but it would be worth checking with them on Tuesday I think.  They're closed on Mondays.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a solid deal!

No problem! Definitely is!

Question please. What's the difference between the 6720 and the 6920?

[NeveSSL]

The 6720 is nearly a pound lighter.  It is the "lightweight" version, and is marked as such on the lower.  Most of this weight is from a thinner-profiled barrel.

Thanks, I thought so, but always good to ask...especially for me. My 6920 is the older Magpul edition. Hasn't seen much use, but it's still here. lol

lol... Nice.  They're great guns.  I am loving mine.  :)

Barrel treatment/ lining is the least consequential of the differences. And even that supposed we are talking about the original 5R melonite S&W. Highly unlikely.

Check M4C threads for S&W Sport vs Colt 6720. Those threads will be MOST conclusive.
