Let's see em.
Not Colt SPORTERS, not Bushies or Armalites but rifles MARKED "AR-15"   I still need a SP1 triangle handguard, 3 prong flash MARKED "AR-15." Might be able to get one cheap when the ban goes away.

I'll look at my next batch when they get here. Also wondering if any dealer is actually gonna sell "restricted" rifles without a letterhead. I know technically no law will exist but I know I don't want to test the waters. Gonna be interesting to see who is the first guy to blow out restricted marked rifles and mags to civies and what official reaction to it is. |

Damn CT AWB.... No "AR-15" marked anything for me.... ever. Pre-bans cant even be transfered... they have to be non-Colt.
Can't wait to see if people in free states get actual AR-15s. - BUCC_Guy |

Colt won't make them for civies. After 1989 all rifles were marked Colt Sporter. |

yea I'm trying to convince some local dealers to order me a LE Colt after the sunset...... thing is, I AM LE, but I work for the most liberal city in the country, so no way am I getting any type of letterhead. Me to gun shop guy: "hey after the ban ends can you order me a LE Colt AR15?" gun shop guy: "no" me: "I'm a cop." gun shop guy: "hmmmmm. dunno..... the ban is actually not ending here tho" me: "true, but, in NY state law police officers are specifically exempted from all weapons laws" gun shop guy: "hmm dunno" I've heard of a few dealers in other states who have said they WILL be selling LE rifles to civilians tho. There is no law, so theres no basis for any official reation. That doesnt mean they wont try tho |

I'm not too sure about this. Colt is not the same company it was back 15 years ago. I wouldn't want to bet anything on what Colt might or might not do. They are under new ownership and new management. More importantly, they have written off any plans to sell in California, which was a major factor for the changes in 1989. Lets not forget how eager Colt has seemed of late. The MT6400C is proof that Colt wants to accomodate the public. The MT6400C is the least PC rifle Colt has made in 10 years, and only a few AWB provions away from being what we all want. Even the AR15 nomenclature is used in the CR6724s name. This has also been true in other aspects of Colt's lineup. Who'd have thought they'd have ever gotten the corporate lawyers to OK the production of Series 70 style pistols again? Even the CCO was a direct response to customer demand. So, I'm hoping for the best from Colt. I'm hoping I'm not going to be disappointed. |

If having LEO marked equiptment makes it worth more, I'm going to mark LEO in pen on all my guns.

Correct, but the sentiment remains.
Your guns are not worth more because of what is written on them. |

I am wanting to get a AR-15 marked older slab side to build a look a like Model 01. I don't plan on paying more then $600 for one though. Don't think I will have to, considering supply and demand, supply being Colt's made over 300,000 AR-15 marked rifles, and most buyers would rather have a lower with the correct push pin, mag fense, and modern M4 markings as such:
 Oh yeah, and if a guy wanted to get a AR marked AR-15 a 6520 or a 6721 would be a better choice, in that they are marked AR-15, and have used small diameter front pins since 1993 or 94. |

A local dealer sold a colt LEO marked lower a few months ago, it included a letter from the ATF stating that it was legal since it wasn't in per-ban configuration. Oddly enough, I don't think it was marked AR-15. (Wouldn't it be illegal to sell a post-94 AR-15 marked lower to civies before the sunset because of the specific model list?)

Steyr, I went to an NFA conference in Phoenix a few weeks ago and asked Gary Schiebold sp? of NFA branch about Restricted marked guns after the sunset. He stated flat out that there would be no legal issues with them since after the ban it would be "Katey bar the door". At that there was a low chear and laugh from the dealers. Bottom line, there will be no difference in free states between restricted marked and non marked guns and mags. It would be a good idea to keep reciepts in order to prove they were purchased during the window in case the ban comes back. Hell, I'm gonna transfer one to myself the day the ban expires and I'll have the proof in my bound book. And as was stated before, you can now have a restricted lower with post ban upper and it's kosher as Hebrew National.

I appreciate the value of the Markings, but I too don't really care if it says "MATCH TARGET" or "SPORTER" on the side. I never really give it much thought.
