[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt LE6940-762x39 Uppers - LIMITED (Page 4 of 4)
|
List on page 2 updated with latest two received.
It appears that may end reports of any further numbers to add to list. 25 is now believed to be total number made. With all the number information on the list, not one person has the ability to get their box from someone else. Thats strange! 2 people got their matching box. 6 uppers unaccounted for from the 16 AU sold. 9 uppers unaccounted for from the 25 assumed made. Total unaccounted for 15. |

I did some mag testing yesterday using my Windham 7.62X39 carbine. Its has proven 100% with CProducts mags in the past.
Colt 7.62X39 mag with 5 round limiter were 100% Colt 7.62X39 mag with limiter removed and loaded to 5 rounds were 100% Colt 7.62X39 mag loaded to 6 rounds were 75% est Colt 7.62X39 mag loaded to 7 rounds were 10% est Past 7 rounds were not even tested. I did load some up but it was visually clear it was a waste of time. |

Quoted:
There is one upper on Gunbroker if anyone missed the chance. Someones wife saw the credit card bill and said send it back or sell it I bet. LOL I love mine! I don't ever see me selling it. It is just too damn nice and too damn rare. |

I ordered what was described and delivered as a new Colt 5.56 6940 upper from AU. The strange thing was the Colt box has 5.56 India written on it. The upper is new with no stickers and the box is not numbered except for 5.56 India. It also has the same front sight as the 7.62 uppers pictured in this thread. I can’t post pictures but can send them to someone that can if you would like to see the box/upper. I am completely satisfied but found it unusual to have India written on it. I also have not emailed AU to ask because I just opened the box and found this thread. Thanks |

Quoted: I am shocked it didn't sell yet. 
I sold my HK45 and s few other guns, then I received all of my back pay the next day.  My bills are covered for a few months out now. I may pull the listing and throw it back under my bed. |

Quoted:
I would just hang on to it unless you're really needing the money. Its rare enough where the value can only go up, selling at a loss just wouldn't be an option for me haha. Want to sell any of those C products magazines?
|
|
I'm happy with my upper, it would be nice to get the numbered box, but not going to kill me either way. Ill be hanging on to this for a long time. Did I read somewhere that a user was going to make a post in some sort of Colt archives documenting these being sold? It would be nice to have an official reference for if/when I decide to sell. |

Anyone keeping these as "Collector's items" or "investments" might want to reconsider. They're beyond difficult to sell, and with no supporting documentation from any legitimate source as to what these things are they retain no more value than a used PSA 7.62x39 upper. Arms unlimited took down the product page, Colt does not acknowledge the existence of these, and that leaves people like me in a rut unable to respond to allegations that I have a phony product on my hands. When times got hard it was one of the few items I expected to be able to recoup my money from. Boy was I wrong. I'd have been better off burning the money than buying this thing. 
Lesson learned, no more "rare" uppers for me. Especially ones that have been rode hard and put away wet. That said, at this point anyone considering a chop job or refinish might as well go ahead and do it. It certainly won't hurt the value of your "rare" "limited" undocumented upper IMO. |

I will be doing a companion article for the Colt Collectors Association magazine as well but the Army and college has me a bit tied up right now. |

A small update for guys interested in the India evaluation program.
I have about 80% of the text done for my Colt India evaluation article. A couple of tidbits for you in regards to the evaluation rifles.... 1. A complete evaluation weapon set was one 5.56mm rifle with one 7.62x39mm upper receiver. 2. Troy Battle Rail covers were used on some of the rifles. 3. ASC 30 round 7.62x39mm magazines were used for the trials. 4. Trials were 2014. More details will be found in my article which will be published in the Colt Collectors Association magazine. Publication quarter hasn't been set yet. |

A couple of more pieces for the Colt India evaluation project showed up today. One more item, a foregrip, left to receive in the coming days.
