Looks like the rifle parts page has been deleted 
So no more rifle parts for sale to the public

I just ordered 3 charging handles last Thursday and got them Tuesday. Most all of the other rifle stuff (uppers, BCGs) was out of stock.
I wish they'd sell LPKs. Shockingly, the best price I can find is from S.A.W. for $175. Can anyone suggest a semi-adequate replacement LPK? (I don't want/need any Magpul stuff in it.) |

Didn't take them to long to get tired of dealing with the unwashed masses.... Yeah that gets my vote. Plus I would imagine that their distributors bitched about undercutting their prices. 
you two are real geniuses if that was true they would not also be selling handgun parts,mags, shirts, coffee mugs etc etc likely they had a over run they were selling online and run out, Im sure they will be back once they catch up |

so i just called and asked while buying something
ran out, the ones they had online were from contract over run. they are currently using all they got to fill a few contracts once that is taken care off the uppers and parts will be back online. so that is a confirmed fact not smart assed jumping to conclusions while having no idea or intention of checking to verify. Sometimes I wonder if some guys just like to try to start rumors to hurt a company as fun or trolling |

I haven't seen a 6921 upper for sale on the EE or elsewhere in ages. Cheers |

Unfortunately you can't add that item to the shopping cart - thus it's essentially unavailable direct. And how one even finds that item is somewhat a mystery since there's no links to rifle/carbine parts from the "Shop Online" link. Searches of common terms used in Colt's announcement from March 2011 of parts now being available direct don't yield anything productive. I guess I should continue to "check back often" to see if rifle/carbine parts magically reappear. Hopefully your "confirmed fact" does indeed become confirmed and a fact. Quoted:
This thread is a train wreck. Bottom line, no more rifle parts for sale. No offense to Annie or the Colt CS folks, but they're just repeating what they're told so don't bother asking them for reasons. Yes, complete train wreck as has been Colt's public relations to the mass market of AR consumers for years. For a company that proudly proclaims (or at least hosts material directly on their site that proudly proclaims) that it's "coming back to the commercial market in a big way - and it literally is part of the corporate strategy" their current mixed messages are troubling and foolhardy. Why bother to put parts on your site and say "check back often" if the existence of such parts for sale direct is contingent upon contract overruns? Then having your CS staff point you to the Colt Competition Rifle site which lists 2 complete guns but no individual parts is confusing and dismissive. I guess if I want new Colt bolt carrier groups I'll just have to buy new complete guns. Or pay S.A.W. $225.
