    The new ones are marked CR6920. From what I can tell so far is that maybe the markings are different but quality the same.

    Yeah I was just making sure these aren’t a cheaper or *bargain* version

    There are some out right now marked CR 6920

    Apparently the difference is the lower markings. Older LE6920’s had rollmarks while the CR6920’s have laser engraved markings like the expanse series. Honestly, I was unaware of the CR series. Colt still lists the LE6920.

    I see that there website doesn’t even list that they are selling these right now. Wasn’t the expanse a cheaper rifle? I guess that is my concern is wether or not this is in the same league as the LE6920.

    The Expanse series was made outside of the US and is very much so a cheaper rifle. They have had numerous issues over the years. It’s basically a low grade rifle with Colt’s name on it.

    Watch MAC on YouTube regarding the new Colts. Depending on the weapon maybe not really a Colt.

    He's speaking about the Expanse line.

    I wouldn't touch anything new from Colt right now. If CZ acquires them, it will be interesting to see how things change.

    Unless I was considering a KAC, a 69XX series Colt would be my first choice.
    There are other considerations out there such as FN and LMT but I have, and still do, prefer and own Colts.

    The Expanse line is, in may opinion, not really a "Colt."
