Thanks to Jeep297 for posting the link to the add, I picked it up for $1320 shipped. The serial number was in the 61,xxx range and the guy said they appear to be small pins. I just called my FFL and they are e-mailing their FFL to him so I will have it next week. So, I finally own a complete factory Colt AR. It felt a little odd being labeled a Colt fanboy, kool-aid drinker or Cultist without actually owning a 6920. So, what the hell it's only money.

I wish I could afford a 6940, too. But I'll just pay this off in a couple of months and buy one from Jim then.

| I also am finally getting a Colt AR. I've been wanting to get one since I bought my first AR. I don't know why it took me so long, after the elections I was determined to get one. I ended up building a complete LaRue rifle for my last one since the prices were outrageous for Colt's after Obama got elected. I am glad I waited until I found one at a good price. The only downside is my wife is insisting that this is for my birthday which is not until New Year's Eve. So I will have to wait a while to take it out, but I already have an Aimpoint CompM4 and magnifier to put on it when the time comes. I'm excited to finally be apart of the club. |
It absolutely warms my heart to see so many new Colts being adopted into good homes 
I'm taking my daughter shooting on Sunday, and I'm currently boresighting a new Comp M2 for her LE6920 that she doesn't know about yet. I can't wait to give it to her
We're going to have an awfully fun weekend. I've got three boxes of clay pigeons and a box of bowling pins just waiting to be blasted into the next dimension. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
It is here in my dirty little mitts. 
But I'm so disappointed, I can't believe they let this thing through the factory. You should see my bolt face, it is rusted to hell. 
Hehehe. I love this thing, overall fit and finish is fine. No excessive play anywhere. There are a couple of machining marks on the magwell and a scratch or two here and there. I prefer this, I won't cry when I take it to a carbine class and scratch it up. I'm stuck at work, I'll try to take pictures tonight.
ETA - Serial number 61,xxx and to my naked eye and the AR guys at the gun shop I picked it up from, they appear to be .154" pins. I'll break out the calipers tonight.

Ok... I didn't want to admit it because I lack the ability to post pics  but I did get one of the last two of Jim's 6940s.
It should ship on Monday.
I haven't bought a factory complete rifle since 2003.  
Congrats Cliff! You must post pics when you get it! Post them in here and I'll edit the thread title to include yours.
ETA - If you just need hosting, e-mail your pics to me and I'll host them.
ETA² - I hope he gets more in stock by the time I pay off my 6920 (Hey I have interest free financing on my credit card for a year).

Thanks Joe, but the ability I lack is a digital camera and now the funds to buy one.
I've been waiting for Code 4's prices to go down on the 6940 for a while now, so when I saw Jim's deal on them I just had to jump on it. Nice.
Not for the fact that I can't post a pic.

Now Code 4 has the 6940 for $1,600.00 link> Code 4 6940s
ETA: For some reason it won't link, so just go to Code 4's site.
ETA: Fixed.

Congrats!
Save this link to Bill Springfield Triggers. You are going to need it. I just sent mine off to him. The Colt LE6920 has like a 8-8.5 trigger pull. Ever time I took it out and pulled the trigger, it felt like the safety was on. Good otherwise http://www.triggerwork.net/ |

I don't have any creep. The trigger is just heavy. Like 8 lbs heavy. I'm not the only one on here that have sent theirs off to be worked on. I may be spolied though, I'm used to the RRA NM two stage triggers on my AR's. |
I have my 6940!!! 
It is soooooo cool!
One thing though... The dust cover can pop open by lightly pressing downward near the bottom by the hinge pin. I hope it doesn't start to pop itself open as it starts to wear in. Anyone elses 6940 do this with the dust cover? Other then that, so far so Cool.

Took it to the range today, fired 120 flawless rounds. What a sweet shooting carbine! I'm very pleased with it. I fired that same exact number of rounds today through my 6940, 120 flawless rounds of Q3131! I'm also very pleased with it.
ETA: I have not been able to put this carbine down for an hour since I got it.

I just got the call from Knesek's... my 6920 will be there next week 
It was $1350 shipped. They said they had a few 6940's in dark earth. How long has colt been making them in dark earth? I think they might be a little confused about that, as I'm not aware of any dark earth 6940s. |

Quoted:
They have it listed on their price list online? http://knesekguns.com/price.php?pricelist=7 Maybe its just for military or their Security company That's weird, I have never heard or seen of such a thing, nor did I see anything in dark earth at the SHOT Show in the Colt booth. Unless they are painting the guns themselves, or putting some other furniture on them or something? |
