I have a Colt 6921 with the pinned and welded muzzle. I was told that these were sold by Colt as complete rifles for a limited time. I have found a couple older forum discussions on the web where people say they bought these rifles brand new with Magpul handguards, grip, trigger guard, and rear sight. I purchased my rifle used, so I can't confirm if it was indeed a factory complete rifle, but mine is in this exact configuration.
My rifle has an LE prefix serial number, QR code on the lower, cage code on upper and barrel, and no restricted roll marks on the lower. Does anyone else have a rifle like this or can confirm these were sold new in this configuration? |

What muzzle device is pinned on and is it an actual govt profile barrel or a socom profile? Standard m4 carbine roll marks and where is the QR code located?

6921 was a legit factory configuration, but I don't think they were ever P&W for legal 16" barrel length.

It has a longer birdcage style muzzle device.
M4 Carbine rollmark on lower Not sure about the barrel? QR code near the Colt Defense marking. |

I could be wrong but I think the only factory PW carbines were the Socom models with the heavier profile barrels.
those were still labeled as 6920. Don’t recall factory PW using govt profile barrels |

Don’t recall factory PW using govt profile barrels Fairly recently there was also the 6920HBPW, which was a 6920 with a socom barrel and the funky extended a2 that the PW socom uses. There was also a socom barreled expanse that had a pinned smith vortex (if I remember the MD correctly) |

Pull the handguards and see what the profile is. Is the muzzle device longer in the birdcage tines like an A2X or are they standard a2 and have the added length at the threaded portion? |

I don’t remember seeing a rifle like that. My personal opinion, it isn’t a factory rifle. Maybe some kind of dealer/distributor exclusive where they had them P/W???
Maybe someone has some more info to prove me wrong about being factory. |

Does anyone else have a rifle like this or can confirm these were sold new in this configuration? Colt sold 6920s with 14.5" pinned and welded SOCOM barrels (LE6290HBPW) and there were also some Expanse models sold around the same time with similar uppers but different flash hiders (CE2000HB), but like the rest, I don't recall any factory rifles sold like this with a standard gov't profile M4 barrel and pinned flash hider. But just because none of us remember seeing one like this, that doesn't mean it didn't ship from Colt (or a distributor) like this. It might be worth a call to Colt's customer service line and see if they can give you any more details about the model number and configuration when it was shipped. @Minuteman1636 - does this ring any bells with you? |

Unfortunately, I do not have the box. I will also add that the finish on the gun all matches quite well, including the barrel and A2 flash hider.
We all know that when it comes to Colt, anything is possible. Maybe I will give them a call and see if they have any info? |

I am.not familiar with that style of flash hider being used. But, as others have mentioned, I certainly can't say never. OP, if you are willing to message me your serial number, I know someone that may be able to help us learn more. |

It has been confirmed that my rifle started life as a LE6920 OEM2 and someone has replaced the upper at some point.
Thanks to everyone for your input and assistance! |

Thanks to everyone for your input and assistance! Glad you got it figured out. I figured that’s the case. That’s not a bad thing either. A year or so ago some 6921 uppers hit the market for super cheap. Lots of us bought them and added P/W BCM extended A2’s. |

As far as it’s all Colt I’d be fine with it
