$595 shipped.
Pistol eligible. If they are correct in stating they came from Colt as lowers only. I doubt Colt did takeoffs at the factory level. M4 CARBINE marked. About 20 units left. "This batch is marked M4, we are receiving just the lowers from Colt." from my email inquire. |

I see nothing indicating that these are not simply take offs from factory guns.
I'd do some research before assuming that these are pistol eligible. |

View Quote I bit, I have in writing what they claim they are. SN will be called in when it arrives. Makes sense. Colt switched markings, likely had bunch taking up space. AU is very cozy with Colt. "This batch is marked M4, we are receiving just the lowers from Colt." from my email inquire. I will hold them to that. Did you see dozens and dozens of uppers listed yet? |

I'm thinking of downsizing a little, so I'm really trying to restrain myself from getting one of these. You guys are making this hard, especially considering what the Brownells spares lowers were selling for on GB not too long ago.
If I wait just a little while, they'll sell out and I can start kicking myself in the ass. |

That’s weird. I think mine arrives on Monday.
ETA: I am mistaken as I also ordered a set of MBUS Pros early last week from AU that I forgot about. My lower is still "processing" according to AU. Cheers |

Finally got shipping, order was placed 3/11 that evening and got FFL sent the next day.

Same here. I got my order in pretty early on in the 3/11 crew. FFL sent in his info about 10 minutes later. I got the shipping email 3/23 and activity showed the lower was in UPS possession 3/24.
I have no idea how I want to build it out. On the one hand, the colt pistol as a pistol is kinda rare, so that would be cool. On the other hand, back around the time the '94 ban was looming, I remember my dad getting a colt CAR-15. I seem to remember it being a 16" upper with collapsible stock and carbine length gas. It would be cool having a similar setup to what he had. |

All said/done, between 3 of us that shoot together we bought 8, all look near identical to my pic above. First 5 were LE prefix, last 3 CR. All have the "L" handicap |

I forgot to look but pretty sure both of mine have the handicapped “L” and both are CR prefix. It also looks like I have 1/16 of a selector stop on one side. Attached File |

Can someone tell me why people still expect colt have anything of quality? I swear all their stuff is complete dogshit these days
|
|

Welp,. Looks like my decision was made. Brownells got me with the colt 11.5" upper for $500. Looks like I'm going commando pistol.
|
|
Are the M4 marks more desirable? I had to go look at mine to see what was on it
I've got a Sabre Defence upper on it. I like it! |

Quoted: I've been disappointed with a Colt product exactly zero times personally. Maybe my luck will run out eventually. View Quote Same here, I was just browsing at a LGS today and found a Colt 6933CK upper receiver assembly. First Colt product I have ever bought that came in a sealed vacuum bag, and came with a Matech BUIS, and all the expected markings. |
|
some buyers will get them today and tomorrow.
post up the details. they are a batch, so just one call to colt at first can confirm the lower only status. no reason for everyone to call right away. just one confirmation will do for now. |

Quoted: I got mine. So far I am pissed. The good: M4 CARBINE marked. The bad: Magpul grip and Magpul trigger guard. Fucking AU using pictures that is not the item being sold. Typical Colt less than great quality. Mine would be a blem if sold by another company. Typical Colt though. TIME TO FIND OUT IF AU LIED ABOUT IT COMING FROM COLT AS A LOWER.
