Let check the supreme law of the land (rifling through his constitution)..."the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
Yup, looks good to me. |

I STILL am positively baffeld why anyone would want to buy a Colt. Mid-range quality, high price, sell out manufacturer.
If you need a horsey symbol that bad, go out to the Walmart parking lot, find a Ford Mustang, steal the emblem off of it, and glue it to your AR. [}:D] |

I do know that there were LEO weapons built just after the ban without the LEO markings. But if it was built after the ban with the evil features, its LEO.

You might want to post this down in the Colt forum.
But, there were some Gov't Carbines made after the ban that Colt failed to mark as LEO. I believe the only way you could own this is put all post-ban features on it. Pretty sure I'm right here. |

There is an old saying: "When in doubt, don't do it..."
I am no lawyer, but I don't think you can. If it is a post ban then it shouldn't have any of those evil features. |

Call Colt at 800-962-COLT(2658). They will tell you the date of manufacture at no charge.

As stated in the '94 ban; if the weapon/magazine [i]is not marked for LEO or Gov't use, the the item is [b]assumed[/b] to be pre-ban by authorities. [/i]
I would buy it without worry, Confederate. |

Confederate,
Same thing happened to me recently. I inquired to colt. They stated it left the factory as a "LEO only" weapon whether or not marked made no difference. So then I inquired to BATF. Same Same from them. Basically you will have a firearm with a post ban ser# in a preban config. I wouldn't do it. |

I think he wore his jock strap just a leeeeeeeeeetle too tight when he was in high school. Or maybe he still is in high school. And wearing his jock strap too tight while he posts on this board. Anywho, you are right. It WAS a joke, but my fault for posting a joke in a forum where some are too thick headed to appreciate it. Pardon moi, ar50troll. AR50troll - Why don't you honor your OWN word and just go away???? You said you were never coming back. you didn't want to "associate" with "our kind" I believe you said.

In an economic based society, this is the absolute best way to get the point across (legally) to someone. Your sarcastic reply actually reinforces this ideas as you seem to think it is somehow stupid to get rid of my LEGP. Exactly my point. I took a loss to not get into that conversation at the range... Hey nice AR15.com rifle. Are you a religious bigot too?" Sure it may seem out of bounds. Well it isn't. I have actually had people I never met in my life talk about Garandmans religious ramblings on AR15.com. He knows he over does it. hell he even started a thread recently asking if it was time for him to go as Moderator. So yes. In the best of ways I showed him. I sure hope you can come to understand that. AR50Troll!~! I just love the new handle. |

Confederate,
To answer you question, NO. Since it’s out of the serial number range, it’s most likely postban. Manufactures were not required to mark “LEO/GOVT” until about 6 months after the ban. You could contact Colt for the date of mfg on the rifle in question. But I wouldn’t purchase the rifle until you are sure. RK |

Now, back to the topic at hand -
Righteous Kill - I just don't find Colt's quality to be ANY more outstanding than Rock River Arms, or Armalite. I DO find thei prices to be higher. And I DO find Colt to be a political sellout. Other manf's (such as the ones I named) are more deserving of our business. You know - ones that FULLY support our RKBA. |

The topic at hand is this guys question on purchasing a Govt Carbine.
You changed the topic into a Colt bash. Politics and quality are not related, you need to separate the two. I have not purchased a new Colt product since they “sold out” in 89. However, I still can, and do appreciate Colt quality. Honestly, I think the Big Three AR-15 rifles produced today are about the same quality. Not because Bushmaster and Armalite have caught up, but rather Colt has fallen a couple of notches. But when it comes to AR-15s built before 1994, Colt is lengths ahead of the others. If it’s not a Colt it’s just a Copy. Rk |

Relax man. Like I said, we exchanged 2 sentences then returned to killing paper. That does not qualify as a lot of time talking about you...sorry to deflate your ego there bud. Believe me. I do have a life. I can only figure that this is the very reason you harbor so much anger towards me. The last thing I want to do is compare who is getting where in life. but I am reasonably sure I trump you, hands down. If you are interested we can take it offline, but I am not going to dicuss details of my financial status in this forum.

He does not make money from it. He is one member/moderator here out of 12,000+. Why can't you two just ignore each other instead of the (getting very old) pissing contests? I am apparently one of the "simple folk", so would you please explain the statement just to satisfy my curiosity? |
