Colt produced AR15's only, in factory configuration but can have night sights, scopes, bipods, flashlights, slings and mags up to 40 rounds. Can be carbine or rifle but nothing shorter than 16" barrel. The department has issued nearly all of patrol an AR15A3 Tactical Carbine. I have my own 6920 Law Enforcement Carbine, also known as the semi auto M4 version. I also have a Beta C-Mag that I carry, even though it isnt specifically authorized, since the department signed the certifying statement letter for me to get it. Usually I use 30 rounds Colt mags though. My carbine has a Tactical Tailor sling, Trijicon night sights and a SureFire barrel mounted flashlight and it is about perfect for me. I have used it twice on arrests and it has just enough accessories to help without having too many to cause problems. A flashlight and night sights are a MUST on a patrol carbine in my opinion.
