I replaced my SureFire fore-end on my Colt 6271 with a Geissele Mk8 13” M-Lok fore-end. Since this is my counter-sniper configuration, I mounted a MagPul M-Lok off-set mount and a 800 lumen TLR-1 HL. Magpul backups and that’s about it. It groups under 1 MOA at 100 yds, so I’m comfortable with that.
My Colt 6920 got the SureFire fore-end (replacing the factory Magpul MOE) and I just added the AFG2 to give me better grip and access to my Surefire light. My 6920 came with the MOE furniture, and the stock rattles. My 6721 has a CTR which doesn’t even rattle when unlocked, so I’m thinking of an upgrade.
I have a Colt original M4 stock on a spare lower, but it’s not even as good as the MOE stock.
Yeah, I have the 6920. I have no problems with the fore-end, but I’d like to know how that AFG2 is working out for you.
Does it interfere with the break-down of the upper to clear jams and the like ?
That’s my last straw moment with the AR 4 years ago. At a 2 gun competition, I forgot the mags for the Mini14 so I borrowed an AR. At the beginning of the stage, the timer starts and I smack the magazine in.... upside down. Well it stuck and I had to pop the top to push it out. (Steel mag, of course)
my surefire is low-lumen. The bright lights close my cornea too quickly and recovery takes a few seconds. The dim light allows for a comprehensive sweep of an interior room but only gets eyes to reflect on animals outside.
And thanks for the opinion on the M4 stock. My search for the perfect stock continues then.
