COLT LE6940CA or SIG SAUER SIG516 Patrol

[glenn.ma]

I am thinking about selling/trading my COLT LE6940CA for a SIG SAUER SIG516 Patrol.

Do you think I should keep or sell/trade the COLT LE6940CA for the SIG SAUER SIG516 Patrol?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

I would NEVER trade my 6940 for a 516. Talk about a downgrade...

[neomedic]

It's two completely different platforms....DI vs Piston.
From what I hear, those who own the Sig516 love it and don't have any issues (although a quick search showed earlier models had some FTF/FTE issues). But recently, there have been many calguners with the SIG516 and have no issues.

The Colt is nice, but I think people love it because of the history, DoD supplier, etc. and I personally don't necessary believe it to be a downgrade. I think both rifles are a keeper.

Does the one you're thinking about trading for have a mid length profile so the bayonet actually works?

Colt all day.

Sell your elcan and buy another rifle don't sell the Colt to get a Sig.

Keep the Colt, I love my 6940.

If it's not a Colt, it's a copy...

[Arnelcheeze]

i would keep the Colt, and add a 516 or similar piston system.

If it's not a Colt, it's a M4gery goes the saying...I've got a 6920 as well mainly due to reputation. If your saving/making $ on the "downgrade", and you need the $ for something else, don't let others influence your decision.

+1 on the colt!

[Press Check]

Not sure what's motivating this decision, but the Colt Monolithic upper is one of the nicest systems available. Keep the rifle, and get rid of the knife.

Addendum: ^^^^get rid of the knife regardless of what you do.

DROSed a Colt 6940. Been wanting one for a long time, went with a Barrett Rec7 awhile back. Piston runs really clean, so I'm looking foward to my first DI gun, especially since it's a Colt. Looked into the other piston platforms for a lightweight AR, but already have one, and it's nose heavy compared to DI platforms.
