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 wouldn’t be “M4 Carbine” marked. It may make them more (or less) desirable to some. |

If they are real deal LE marked lowers then that is a deal. I have no interest in CR serial numbers. |

Oh yeah, I guess if you need a certain serial number prefix…. My OEM2 from 2017 has an “LE” serial prefix, never gave it much thought. I guess if you’re into paying for used guns for two alpha characters, I dont have anything to add |

Can you explain exactly how "LE" prefix lowers are the "real deal" and how the "CR" prefix lowers aren't?  If you prefer the LE prefix then fine, whatever but they aren't anymore "real deal" then any other Colt lower. |

Fact is that Colt isn't making these types of lowers anymore....gone and won't come back....so that may have some value in the future. Some guys hate Colt for giving into the pressure (did they have a choice) to make those lowers with Restricted marks or the web in the rear pocket or removing the selector stops. There is no difference in quality from LE to CR. These trade ins were sub $600 3 years ago. Id be all over them for that. But $1100 is a hard one. If I could part it out and be ahead I would be more interested in case I needed to sell. Appreciate the heads up non-the-less. |

Guaranteed to have m4 marked upper, f marked fsb, glued heat shield tabs, etc. All the things that made it actual milspec, if that matters to you. That and the qc at the time was pretty good |

That and the qc at the time was pretty good Show me where any of those "little details" are in the TDP? Hint... they're not so Colts with those "little details" aren't any more "actual milspec" then Colts without them. All CR prefix 692x have M4 feedramps which is what actually matters. Some are and some aren't actually marked "M4". All CR prefix 692x's have "F" height FSB's which again, is what matters but no, they are no longer stamped with an "F" on them because there is no reason for it. Glued in heat shield? I guess you got me there Colt's QC is and has always been questionable. There has never been a time in recent history when buying a Colt guaranteed you anything in the QC dept. Look I'm not arguing personal preferences. We all prefer what we prefer but calling those the "real deal" as if the others are somehow fakes or lesser quality because they don't have the same markings is just a little too far north of the BS line not to call out. |

And you have the actual TDP? Not just parts of it leaked onto the internet? Pretty bold claim there Small arm solutions has a great video on this, being a former colt employer I think he knows a bit more on the topic. Does a marking make a part more milspec if it meets material and qc? No, but f marks, m4 marks etc make it easier to quickly identify the correct parts in a parts bin when you are maintaining multiple weapon systems using similar but different parts. Maybe you are just trying to justify your lesser colt to yourself, I’m cool with that

Well said. People just can't wrap their head around the fact that production changes whether they like it or not. The M4 mark on the front of the upper receiver is going the way of the do-do bird just like the F marked front sight base. There is only one standard for the upper receivers now. There is no reason to mark them M4 just like there is only one standard for the front sight bases. Internet personalities feed the trolls with constant criticism about markings because Colt isn't staying in the 1990's/early 2000's with manufacturing. The same people that are upset about the markings not staying the same are often the same people complaining that Colt isn't being innovative. Colt starts changing and people are complaining that they aren't staying the same. Lol. It is a endless circle of complaining. |

That's funny And BTW - if you need an upper receiver marked to know if it is in fact an M4 upper receiver then you have no business working on them I will say that my safe queens and shooters have different parts, not sure if I would go to the same lengths as some of the cloners do to make sure I even have the right batches for the time frame, but I’m not going to hate on anyone that’s into the hobby for collecting as much as they are in it for shooting |

I don’t get the comments about paying more for a beat up PD trade in. Yeah the outside has a few dings and scratches, but not much worse then the new socom I just bought But the bcg and barrel are almost spotless, doesn’t even look like it was fired. I was pleasantly surprised with that! And I admit, I bought it since it is m4 carbine marked with le serial number, but those seem to fetch more money anyways if I ever were to sell it down the road, so it’s a wash in the end the way I see it. |

Sick rifle bro. IMO you can't "beat up" a Colt M4. LE marks are very desirable! You made a very, very good choice. I'd love to see what those fetch in the near future. LE Restricted ones are my favorites! Enjoy your sticks! |

The only ones I could find with those markings were quite a bit more. |

Finally able to pick mine up from recoil. It’s a made in Canada. Cosmetically ok. Doesn’t appear to have been shot much. Very dry BCG. Still has the sling and police number on the front. I’m no roll mark expert but I assume those are Canadian roll marks. Clearly I don’t post pictures not sure what I did wrong. |

| I see discount code "200" takes $200 off the normal trade-ins at Gunprime, I REALLY want a Canada one but $1500 is a little steep, does anyone know of a discount for those ones? |

No discount on those, but tbh im surprised those didnt sell out quicker, the canada ones are quite rare If anyone is local, surplus city guns in PA has $800 le6920 trade ins (most looked m4 marked and not restricted) Copper customs still has $999 m4 marked guns |
