I think, given the media's obsession with AR15s, no agency is going to risk the potential PR armageddon of a former LE rifle being used in a mass (or any) shooting.

This is probably true and while I'm not well versed in police carbines, it seems like it would be difficult to find one with a heavy barrel. Not really necessary for their intended use. On a side note - who comes up with these dumbass laws? You can only have an AR15 if it has a heavy barrel? WTF difference does that make? I don't agree with most gun laws, but at least come up with something that has some sort of illusion of keeping people safe. I dont think "If he had a heavy barrel he'd be too lazy to drag it up on that bell tower" is a reasonable argument ?????
Edit: If cost saving is the intent, I'd just but a PSA CHF upper and one of their lowers and pin them together. Done
Crap. Somewhere between complaining about the heavy barrel and typing PSA I forgot about the heavy barrel. It's been a long day in the sun.
