Saw this CR6700A4 on Gun Broker this morning. The seller is charging an additional $300 over MSRP. No images of the rollmark on the lower unfortunately.

Lol, well if he's going to charge that much over MSRP he should at the very least be posting up a picture of the rollmark.

I have learned from a valid source that CR stands for Colt Rifle...not 'civilian rifle' as some have said.

Quoted: Would like to see roll mark also View Quote Same here. Based off that photo on GB and my very limited enhancement skills I will say the lower in that photo has the new style roll mark with the pony in the middle like the cr6920. I can’t make out what is says underneath it but I don’t think it is “rifle”. Looks like it is more characters than that. I really hope it doesn’t say “carbine” |

I know I might catch hell for this, I know there are Colt lovers out (I could never figure out why) there, but I never was. I liked the Old Bushmasters and love Windham Weaponry 20 inch Gov't model.

What profile and twist rate is it going to be?
The old MT6700 was HBAR 1/9 and not chrome lined. |

Which Colt distributors are likely to stock these initially? I am not really up to speed on how Colt executes initial distribution of new products but I would imagine that given the political climate they will move with a quickness. I didn’t see anything at Arms Unlimited.

That valid source seems to be pulling your leg and yanking your chain - hard. CR don't mean jack. It's just a serial number prefix. Brownells sold a ton of CR prefix stripped lowers. They weren't rifles. Just like the LE serial prefix didn't mean jack. The last run of Colt AR15A4's the serial number prefix is CAR. axio |

Colt is now using it in the model numbers of the current rifles. |

I am referencing the CR in the new model numbers. CR6920, CR6920MPS-B, CR6920-EPR, CR6940, CR6960, CR6700A4. "That valid source seems to be pulling your leg". You can believe that if you like. You should really try to learn about people before casting assumptions. |

I haven’t found any pics yet, but after searching Google and seeing a few shops that plan to offer these for sale, I have noticed the term Patrol Rifle in nearly every ad. Could just be a description sent from the distributors but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that as the roll mark. FWIW

Maybe someone else can do something a little better with the GB picture. Attached File |

It doesn't make sense why the seller would only have 2 pics when they surely know the roll mark is what we want to see.

I'm just glad to see they brought back the AR15A4.....the world NEEDS more 20in A4s.

I would think that since they moved from traditional roll marking to some sort of computer controlled laser engraving that they'd be able to modify the markings easily. Maybe they'll change it down the road, but I guess I'd like to see the actual marking before I'd buy a rifle. Anything other than CARBINE would work for me, RIFLE, SPORTER, AR15A4, etc.
I didn't notice the lack of marking on the upper, that's also a bummer. The rifle's probably still good to go, but honestly the markings are really the only thing that entice me to pay a premium price. |
|
Well that sucks, it might have been fine if it just said "RIFLE"... If they wanted to go with one lower for all their production then they should have just left them blank.
This is really a simple thing... How in the world does Colt constantly screw it up? |

Quoted: So you already have an A4 and were thinking about buying one of the new model rifle? View Quote What’s wrong with that? I have a 20” a4 and would have definitely got one of these if it had any other roll mark other than that carbine one. I don’t think I will with that roll mark though. No idea what the thinking was behind that and like mentioned above with the current engraving and no actual “tooling” needed to do it there is no reason not to have done something else. I think “rifle” would have been perfect to go with the “carbine” lower. Hopefully in the future they make a change on it. On edit, like above I also have a 6720 a15a4. The 20” rifle and 16” lightweight roll marks go perfect with each other. |

Quoted: Here in lies the current dilema...if they do decide to change the markings soon these could accidentally become a short run collectible. So, me as a collector, am thinking about getting one anyway. View Quote Same thought crossed my mind but my OCD still doesn’t think I can do it. |

Why not just try and find an old Colt AR15-A2 Govt Rifle? I've been searching for one to complement my Govt Carbine...
|

I was watching the Military Arms channel on Youtube.
I think Colt is using alot of subcontract parts in it, to the point that recent guns almost are not Colts. |

Is there a possibility that the A4 pictured from GB was put together and not factory?
I did not see a box with model number and serial number that matched the carbine lower. |

I see that the AR15A4 marked receiver rifles are still bringing strong money even with the CR6700A4 around.
