I would like to read some objective comparisons of the 'old' vs the 'new' cage code Colt's.
I purchased on of the new SOCOM models and as far as I'm concerned from an optical standpoint, I see no difference.
Pictures side by side showing quality differences would be helpful rather than blanket statements.
It's acknowledged that the Vietnam Retro Collection rifles were not manufactured by Colt but the manufacture did a nice job.
These rifles fly off GB in the $2+K range but the 6920 rifles trade for around $1K or less.
