Colt is the better M4, although they’re more or less identical. I bought both for a Block II build and ended up keeping the FN as is in the M4A1 configuration.
Can’t really go wrong with either, but if you can choose I would take the Colt over the FN since the FN has some inaccuracies like a 14.7” barrel, no m203 cuts, not am F height front sight, etc.
The Colt SOCOM barrel is also surprisingly accurate once floated, just under 1moa. The FN barrel hovered around 2moa or a little over, still fantastic for a stock barrel.
Im interested to hear the answer to this. I've been eying the FN M4. I know there are much better options then dropping 1700 for a 14.5 FN, but a simple M4 would make a great go to gun.
It's true. After Colt lost the contract, they started outsourcing more parts. While they had the contract, the 6920s would use the same exact parts, less the FA stuff. If the goal is M4 clone, it doesn't get closer than that.
Fn won the contract
Colt seethed and went bankrupt (several times)
Okay, but which makes the better civilian clone
Aren't FN not allowed to usr their M4 TDP for their civlian versions?
Cant imagine that's a problem now. Colt don't own the M4 anymore, the army does.
Yeah but they were and still are allowed their military TDP for civilian version.

The answer is always Colt brother.
buying a clone is like buying a rubber pussy instead of a real pussy
