Lmt mrp vs colt 6940

I love my LMT, and shoots great.

You have to pay a premium for the COLT name, I don't get it , but that's how life is.

You will never regret it.
 
As a dyed in the wool Colt Junkie I would get the MRP. Better bang for your buck and LMT does more than enough destructive testing on their guns to satisfy most military users let alone those of us deploying on OP-Starbucks...plus that $900.00 will buy a lot of ammo, .22lr kits etc etc...

10-4 to that
the only remorse is that I got to wait for it to get here :(
well aint this place just a geographical oddity 2 weeks from anywhere
 
Never owned a 6940, but I've owned 3 6920's and an LMT CQB MRP, and I'd take the LMT over the 6940 for the simple reason that the LMT gives you infinite possibilities for mounting whatever front BUIS you want and lights at 12:00, which the 6940 won't permit.

Actually, after having owned the CQB, if I got another LMT MRP, it'd be the rifle length, just because I prefer a longer forend.
 
Your LMT is priced right now for $2199 you just can't build a better rifle for that kinda money. Back when I built mine parts and options were scarce so the reality is I paid more then that and I would give your LMT the edge, in terms of barrel.... I guess you win some you lose some...

Good choice
 
Have you Read the Mag "SWAT" lately, they broke a Colt 6940 after firing over 17,000 rounds without cleaning it. I am not taking sides, and I have own Colt's, but this might add strength or less strength for who ever is on the side of Colt. For the average person, thats great, not so good if your a SF operator, and they go through over 17k in rounds on one assaulter course one would assume. Food for thought, LMT and Colt are both great units I think, no sense in hashing it out. However the facts stand from that article from this past month, just food for thought, take it as you will. I was a little dissapointed in Colt though.

What broke?
 
One interesting point that I did not hear anyone even mention was LMT's quick change barrel capability on the MRP.

Fact is that LMT offers a variety of barrel lenghts, calibre changes and even Gas Piston options for that LMT MRP rifle he bought and all of those swaps can be done in the field and in under 120 seconds.

That one MRP platform he has can go from a 10.5" up to an 18" SS barrel in moments... can change from .223/5.56 to 6.8 or 9mm or .22lr or even .204RUGER... it can go from a 16" Direct Impingement barrel to a 12" or 16" Gas Piston in the same time period. Of course every change can be reversed in the same time period.

Not quite so easy with the COLT :)
