Live Free,

Thanks for the info.

Ericstac,

Thanks!

I think I'll eventually be putting a 1-4 scope on the Magpul edition I hope to get.

I guess the front iron sight can't be easily removed on any 6920 thus requiring a rather high optic mounting.

If I'm right, I wonder if that higher mounting than most scopes have to be mounted is in any way problematic?

gigag04,

Thanks for the advice - I'll be looking.

I'm embarrassed to admit I have no clue what a BCM middy is?

baldeagle,

Not a problem as to the range - I have one in my back yard.

Ammo is not currently a problem either (yet) as I mentioned I really want the Magpul edition and will be learning about the care and feeding of my AR without actually shooting it first. This will take a bit of time.

If I have to throw in the towel on the Magpul edition, I will then start shooting the one I now have, although my wife is looking at with greedy eyes... She was on her high school rifle team and is still a good shot.

I forgot to mention it also comes with a Magpul MBUS.

I wonder how many folks don't add optics and simply use the iron sights...?

Walmart, this morning, had one in the 2013 LE6920 edition. I thought the price of $1097.00, though a little high, is overall not a bad price in this day and age.

Thanks for the recommendation to gigag04. I did a lot of research on this brand and model and it was tops of everyone's list.

The 2013 iteration comes without a carrying handle, PMag 30 round magazine, a sling attachment, flag, padlock and manual.

No cleaning kit.

So, need a recommendation on a cleaning kit and a chamber protector. And, if anyone knows where I can buy 30 round Pmags, I'd really appreciate that info too.

Will be buying previously recommended bolt carrier cleaning tools.

However, I may never shoot this rifle. Currently, I plan to keep it new in the box. I really want the Magpul edition and will wait awhile (as long as a year) to see if it becomes available as I think it will. If I can't find one, this one will be my shooter or even my wife's as it's about as light weight as you'll find in a stock AR. 5.7 lbs. if I recall correctly.

Can you tell I'm excited?

Thanks!!
