For those of you who are looking for pictures of a LE6944 in the wild (or at least my driveway), I just picked up a LE6944-SE from SAW. For those who are not familiar, SAW sells their LE6944-"SE" with an extended flash suppressor that has been permanently installed to the 14.5" barrel.
Best Regards, |

But I bet it wasn't cheap.

Behold!
And I award thee fourteen and a half internets for posting pictures of a rifle that can actually be loaded!
An intersting question - assuming you could find a way to load a rifle without the charging handle - how long would it keep running? Hypothetically speaking the BCG rides on rails within the upper and just "floats" in the CH recess. Experiment time? Not with my guns, of course!
Meh, I've got spare charging handles - I wouldn't decline either of them!

When I first took it out of the box, I thought they had sent me a SBR 6944. I had to really look closely to determine that the rifle didn't have a normal A2 flash suppressor. With the flash photography, you can tell where the SAW extended flash suppresor begins in my last picture. (It's not that obvious in normal light.) SAW doesn't even use a crush or peel washer. It's just machined to fit and index perfectly. If the finish was just a little darker, I don't know if you could ever tell it was there. Does anybody know what the "M" signifies on the 6944 barrel? Best Regards, |

Looks like Colt is changing the markings on the 6940.
http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog.aspx The "civilian model" is no longer marked "LAW ENFORCEMENT CARBINE." 2012 catalog shows 6940's now marked simply "M4 CARBINE." 
CDNN confirms? 
No more crop circles?

For those that are trying to track the production numbers for Colt 6940 rollmarks...
I was looking through the DSG Arms forum for a current discount code and stumbled upon this bit of information: Originally Posted By RustyTX:
Colt says that a total of only 600 Sporter marked 6920's were produced and 200 Sporter marked 6940's. Now they say they will all have the Colt M4 roll mark. We'll have to get a count of the SP marked 6920's we have left. The last 6940's we received were marked Colt M4 and LE marked (go figure)... |
| I just purchased my 2nd LE 6940 new. When I received it there was a certification letter from Colt defense stating that it was one of the last 100 LE 6940's Produced. The gun came from an out of state dealer. had no Idea that this letter was with the gu, Nice suprise!. |

The quality work on the pinned flash hider was excellent, you could not tell and I had to be shown where it was pinned. The rifle came with the reliability package and the show price was1695.00. |

At first I thought they had sent me a regular 6944. I had to look very closely at the barrel to tell that it had an extended flash hider. Best Regards, |

| I have used that same tool for 6 barrels (inremoval and installs) without a hitch or have wear like the one shown in the picture. Just an FYI, the 6940 barrel extension is not like a regular barrel. I am sure everyone knows this but just to be on the safe side. If you scroll back a page you can see my extra barrel or go to the IAR page and there should be some detailed pics of when we dis-assembled one. |

A quick check under the HGs should confirm or deny it. Who knows maybe they made another special run? Or he could just be mistaking the M4 carbine barrel for the SOCOM. ~Augee |

Here's my 6940. I have FDE on for the summer now, waiting on an FDE stock & Noveske QD end plate that are on back order.

LE6940/Acog TA01Ecos - Fired 1000rds 2 cases of federal brown box xm193 again not one issue Flawless
