Colt Defense Supports The Third Annual Quantico Combat Shooting Match With Rifle Donation

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Colt Defense LLC, one of the world’s leading designers, developers, and manufacturers of rifles and carbines, proudly supported the Third Annual Quantico Combat Shooting Match. The match is a 3-Gun competition open to all Marines, and is held at MCB Quantico’s Weapons Training Battalion in Quantico,Va. The stages are designed to test shooters’ abilities to transition from rifle, shotgun and pistol while maintaining a combat mindset. Colt Defense donated the popular LE6920 rifle to be awarded to the winner of the weekend’s competition.

“Colt Defense was honored to once again be part of this premier event that showcases the phenomenal shooting and critical thinking abilities of our U.S. Marine Corps,” said Jeffrey Radziwon, Director of Sales and Marketing Operations for Colt Defense. “We are proud of all those who participated and honored to have supplied a Colt rifle as the grand prize.”

Sergeant Nicholas Carson was the winner of this year’s Quantico Combat Shooting Match, and will be awarded the Colt LE6920. This was Sgt. Carson’s first 3-Gun shooting competition. He had previously only competed in two United States Practical Shooting Association matches.

Colt Defense also took part in the two-day exhibit of weapons, optics, gun cleaning and gear. The time Colt spent at the exhibit allowed Marines to see current and future capabilities.
