Personally, I feel like the 6920 quality remained mostly the same until the late teens when you started to see the QR codes and laser engraved markings on the lowers vs the traditional roll marks.The 6940, upper receiver aside, was in the same boat as far as military spec parts and when it was designed, was a really good upgrade with the integrated pic rail. That said, it was discontinued several years ago due to poor sales and (yet another) Colt bankruptcy. It was reintroduced in the last year or two and seems to be hit and miss as far as supply goes. Again, a good design but with the integrated quad rail, a bit dated and IMHO Colt really should look to modify the forging to work with the Mlok to be relevent.The biggest down side to a 6940 is that virtually no one can work on them because of the proprietary barrel nut. My buddy at the Colt custom shop said the factory itself only has a couple barrel nut tools and aside from them, I only know of us and Specialized Armament that has one.</blockquote>
