Noticed that police trade in colt le6920s have hit multiple stores, some in indiana. Gold and guns (madison guns), copper customs, and recoil all had le6920s available
I got 2 this past month - one from copper customs ($999) and one from gunprime ($1099 after code ‘200’). The ones from copper were from michigan state police dept and one from gunprime was from hoover al police dept. both were in good condition, internals of the gunprime one was amazing. Both has restricted markings. Anyone have any cool le6920s/colt ARs from other police departments? Or know of stores that may have some? |

They did not have the Surefire light but had the old restricted rollmarks. Price was $1349 if I remember right. they did at the athens store about a month ago. I was told they were new rifles that came in with the other guns that the department had purchased, but never issued. They looked brand new, but lacked a carry handle and box. |

Thanks for the info, I suspected they were related to the used ones. SN#'s were pretty close. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JWnTN: Any idea of the replacement for the Colts? They bought them from Clyde's so my guess would be the bought more Colt's. I know my buddies department just replaced their old Army loaned M16A2s with brand spanking new Colt LE6920 EPRs. Pissed my buddy right off lol. Must have been some money for PDs in one of this mammoth bills that got passed in the last couple of years. |

Only asking bc i like collecting ones from different pds And more importantly, will they be restricted marked? |

Here's my Clyde's I picked up a few days ago, came as pictured on the site with the crappy sling and Surefire handguard. I added my own sling, skinny handguard and carry handle; I have an IWC scout light mount coming for it as well. Overall great condition, 09' dated barrel, some wear on the bolt face and charging handle but not too many scratches or anything. One thing I noticed was how well the stock fit the buffer, very minimal rattle compared to any other waffle stock I've had.

"brand new" wont have a colt made barrel and will not be made with Colt Mil Spec parts . If it's not an LE6920 it can be made with a bunch of contact parts that are not up to Mil spec testing standards .

LE6920 parts are no more correct parts than the CR6920. Part sources did not change between the LE6920 and CR6920. Colt used multiple sources for barrels with the LE6920's also. Additionally part specifications were not changed/reduced after the LE6920. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By swatbwana: NOT inaccurate Part of Mil Spec is the labeling of parts for interoperability , the new guns are not tested to mil spec, end of story. Labeling of parts has nothing to do with interoperability. It is for identification of manufacturer if there is a systemic operational issue. You took my point completely out of context. My point, was that the parts are made to the same technical specifications minus the markings. They are not marked in some cases because the parts are intended for commercial use only. They are not spending the additional money to mark parts that don't necessarily need it. You see a crossover of military marked parts into the retail assembly line just because those are the parts they decide to use. They stopped milling off selector stops because that saved them three steps in the manufacturing process thus lowering costs. An added bonus for us is that it is something that we wanted them to stop doing for years. |

Fair price, I’m attracted to the older trade in rifles with different roll marks. It will be interesting to see what they are selling for in five years. |

Sad thing is they are missing the front side sling , when we purchased them they came as a package with the front side sling removed , some distributor has a box full of those things. |

Labeling of parts does have to do with interchangeability, without the C and the F, and the in house firing of proof loads you have no Idea what you are getting , Colt is now Assembling AR15's instead of producing them. Barrels, not Colt Bolt and Carrier likely not colt due to the change in markings , all contracted out parts, not the same rifle at all. |

The truly humorous part of your post is it assumes Colt has been producing anything themselves over the last 20 years. Colt long ago became an OEM manufacturer. Almost everything with their name on it was actually made by another company to Colt's specs and it has been that way for a very long time. Just look at how small of a footprint their "factory" has compared to Glocks facility in Smyrna Ga. OEM manufacturing is in Colt's DNA and goes back at least as far as the 1911. |
