"Average" seems to be doing just fine for the last 50 years or so.
I can't thing of anything a $1600+ AR does in the same configuration that is "exceptional".

I don't know of a rifle in the same configuration as a LE6920 that costs that much. But I know of plenty that cost less than the $1100 that has been the normal for Colts for the last few years. And they do the same thing just fine.

Wonder how they would stand up to a torture test? I had a Carbon 15 that was OK for plinking but I really doubt it would stand up to sustained use. I know 99% of AR owners will never need that high performance but it's a lot like a gun itself: Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

JMHO

Full disclosure: I own a 6920

Colt AR's - don't see a S&W or PSA or whatever else in this mix. I bet there is a reason.

The reason is because they had the contract. That's it. You know, the one that FNH has now?

and maybe the fact that they work.

I'm pretty sure they still have to build them using the TDP standard.

Colt is the best quality rifle for the money. Quality Control is better and features are better than most.

Here is a link to a google doc and source comparing many features of many AR's. Educate yourself and then make the decision that fits best for YOU. I only have Colts, BCMs, and Daniel Defense Rifles.

That chart shows that BCM and DD are the best rifles on the market. Colt's one year warranty should settle all of this.

That one year warranty means nothing. I have personally returned a firearm that was older than a year to colt that was repaired and REFINISHED for free. BCM and DD are top notch too
