Does yours have "F" marked front sight base? I went by my ffl yesterday and he had just received one for a customer, I looked at it and noticed it didnt have an "F" on the front sight base. I guess they are gonna be hit and miss again.

Interesting, it seems like Colt is trying to use up an old inventory of non "F" standard FSBs on a model where it doesn't mater one way or the other.

Do you mind sharing the price you got it for? About to pull the trigger on one, and I've been seeing them the last week or two for prices ranging between $1,400 and $2,000 with a much lower MSRP. Just trying to size up what a practical good deal is right now. Thanks!

I believe you meant "a link" is worth a thousand words, I do this too sometimes, you have to coly the img to get the picture to show, otherwise it ahows up as a link.
The question I have though is does this have a rifle barrel extension and upper or is Colt using M4's? Nice rifle btw, William |

The upper receiver is marked above the gas tube hole "M4" . Inside the receivers, the ramps are visible on the upper. I think I can make out a faint "4" on the barrel extension adjaent to the ejection port. That would confirm an M4 barrel extension on a rifle barrel. Although not an M16A4 copy, this rifle is an example of a well made AR-15A4 rifle with attention to each detail. I would prefer the M4 ramps even on the rifle. |

I have no problem with the M4 upper/ramps/extension, I just think it's odd that the "F" FSB is a deal killer for some because it's not what'son an A4, but the M4 parts don't seem to bother them?
 . Both of them are non-issues unless you're going full out clone. I'd love to have one these, I haven't seen one at the GS or LGS yet, probably a good thing though, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

LGS = local gun store
I paid $875 plus tax which for Virginia is a total of $921. The MSRP on Colt's website is $999 which is lower than last year's price. I cannot recall last year's price though, maybe $1,050 but I could be wrong. The letter of the barrel extendion next to the ejection is a "S". I haven't fired the rifle yet but my open box impression is that it is very nice. But proof is in pudding as they say so I will reserve final judgement until after I put some rounds through it. |

The "S" is at 12 o'clock on the extension The "4" if present would be at the 3 o'clock position. |

Durka - You are right. The "S" is at the 12 o'clock position, under the gas tube.

Just curious, would you change out the hand guard for the KAC M5 RAS hand guard .... I'm thinking about doing this.
Nice rifle, I purchased one last summer just like it (from Ratwox for $1K), solid and accurate weapon. |

Congrats on the new rifle. I love mine. I bought 2 from Tombstone for about $900. I sent one to Colt for inspection for cosmetic issues towards the end of June and Colt sent me a replacement in late October with a lower s/n than the one I had. Awesome service. Looks like they went up quite a bit in s/n range since then.

I have been waiting for about six months. Finally I got the call from my LGS on this past Friday that his supplier received a new Colt AR-15A4 and that it was shipped (to my LGS). Fast forward to today when it arrived and I picked up. Fit and finish is what I expected...very nice. A pictures is worth thousands of words so here are a few. <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/jblance/media/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2014%2050%20PM_zpszplypfyt.jpeg.html" target="_blank">http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q755/jblance/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2014%2050%20PM_zpszplypfyt.jpeg</a> <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/jblance/media/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2015%2025%20PM_zpsjqlq3fsz.jpeg.html" target="_blank">http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q755/jblance/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2015%2025%20PM_zpsjqlq3fsz.jpeg</a> <a href="http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/jblance/media/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2015%2046%20PM_zpskwgiazx6.jpeg.html" target="_blank">http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q755/jblance/Colt%20AR-15A4/File%20Feb%2003%2011%2015%2046%20PM_zpskwgiazx6.jpeg</a> That is so nice!!!

MtScout - I will probably leave it as it is for a while. I have thought about putting a KAC on it but I need to research that a little more.
Thanks veeklog!! Kaneman23 - Rgarding yours and my serial numbers, the difference is less than 100. I wonder what is the first serial number for assembled rifles in this most recent production run. I am guessing I have one of the early assembled rifle from this most run since there is only a different of about 100 between our serial numbers and my barrel is dated 12/15? Is the serial number of your second rifle higher or lower than mine? Are the barrels on your two rifles dated like mine? Thanks, Jeff |

You will have to have your LGS order one, if they have them in stock. They are a Colt Distributor. |

Thanks for the prices. My buddy just ordered one through his LGS for just over $900 after all paperwork is done. Glad we discovered this before going for one of the $1,400+ ones. Cheers!

Thanks, Jeff Jeff unless you altered the s/n in your photos there is a difference of 900+ rifles. I didn't pull my handguards off to check the stamp on the barrel. All 3 rifles I've had in possession were in the 93xx range. |

Jeff,
Does yours have the QR code on it like they're doing to the new 6920's? I was just happy to get them with the F marked FSB and non-ambi safety. |

Kaneman23 - You're right, the s/n is almost 1,000 different. No QR code on the lower and upper receivers or under the handguards that I can see. I will check again since I wasn't really looking for one during my initial inspection.

William Barrel extensions are not visible from the outside.
No, seriously, I suspect that's why it's "such a big deal." Matters not a whit to me, and when I had one, my old M16A4 clone was built with a non-"F" marked FSB. ~Augee |
