Then quit the negative nancy bullshit and post up a picture of your receipt. View Quote My worries are the paperwork since they are marked 40mm. Me and about 3 other people have the same questions so relax. If they were marked 37mm on the receiver which is the actual 'gun' part of this thing, we wouldn't have any issues. And I'm not paying $2,000 for something that has a lot of things up in the air about. |

It's already been explained by an SOT and several other people. You just dont like the answer.

The barrels can be swapped between both models but we do not have spare barrels available, you can buy barrels from various sources, LMT is one of the best source for the barrels. The 12" barrel model pretty much runs flush to the barrel of a 14.5 or 16" rifle.
The 4473 will say firearm under type of firearm and 37mm for caliber, because that is what it is being transferred with, end of story. Quoted:
So maybe this is a stupid question, I don't know... Is it just the barrels that are different between the two models (9" vs. 12")? Can you buy a 12" 37mm barrel & stick it on the 9" model's receiver & vice versa or would I need to buy one of each model? I'm wanting to buy a 12" to be used with this... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/115687/IMAG1010b-247847.JPG But I'd also like to be able to mount it (using a shorter barrel) on my M4A1 clone as well.

So...again... Where do we sign up to get in on this??? Is there a deposit or something that needs to be made?

It's already been explained by an SOT and several other people. You just dont like the answer. View Quote As stated above multiple times, these transfer as Title I firearms due to being 37mm & having a smooth bore (not rifled) and are not considered DD's by the ATF until you attach a 40mm and/or rifled tube. For anyone still "confused", I'd suggest researching it yourself. If you don't trust Colt & AU to sell these legally in the first place, why would you trust their explanation of the legality??? We've gone past asking to debating/arguing it. If you'd like some other advice off the internet, there is a whole section devoted to DD's where you can begin to read up and educate yourself right here. There are multiple threads there discussing 37mm's and even a 37mm & 40mm Launcher FAQ sticky at the top; you can start there. Or better yet, contact an attorney who is well versed in NFA law if you need additional legal advise from what you'll hopefully feel to be a trustworthy source. Hell, better yet: call directly and ask. |

The OP says "Sign up to be notified when they are on sale, we will be releasing these mid August". I'm guessing they're not doing a pre-sale and it'll be first come first serve once they're on the site; signing up for an email in stock notification is probably the best option we'll have. View Quote Also - "advise" is something you do, while "advice" is something you receive. |

Quoted:
Thanks for the guesses. I saw what was posted by the OP, but it's hard to know if the email notification system is even working when it just disappears after you enter your email with no confirmation that it was actually received, so a little confirmation from the OP would be nice. Also - "advise" is something you do, while "advice" is something you receive. View Quote Ah ok, didn't know if you saw it. I didn't the first few times since it's toward the bottom of their post. I know what you mean though - I didn't get a subscription confirmation either. |

Email notifications do work from AU.
This has turned out to be one of the most fucked up threads ... |

Just sign up to be notified on the product pages on our site. Our notification system absolutely works, it might not confirm you're signed up but believe me it signs you up. There are already a bunch of email addresses signed up to be notified on the launchers. When they are ready to be released you will all get emails, we will post an update here and a day after we will send out or usual email blast to our subscriber base.

View Quote I'll be saving up damn near every free penny I can muster for the next six weeks to do this, and hopefully, I'll have enough before the release date to get one of these then. (...A late August release date rather than mid-August would actually be much more financially feasible for me), but oh well - I've been hoping for just this type of launcher (37mm barrel on an actual Colt 40mm title I receiver) for soooo damn long, that I don't care of the difficulties, or what anybody else has to say about the matter - I Want One Of These Babies!... Obligatory, I really want it pic... Attached File |

Ok--a few things.
#1. People in this thread worried about transferring a Title 1 203 receiver need to go do some research on Title 1 203 receivers. There is nothing shady or illegal about it. #2. This is an awesome opportunity for collectors, and if you think owning an m203 is stupid or a waste of money, good for you. Thanks for sharing your ignorant opinion. #3. As excited as I was about this when I first saw the thread, looking closely at the pictures of the receiver instantly destroyed my enthusiasm. It appears that Colt no longer roll marks their 203s... the markings look engraved. No thanks. I'm just picky like that. |

We will not be selling any launcher barrels, just the complete launchers with 37mm tubes installed

Will these be available through other Colt distributors as well?

Here's a Cobray I spent hours and hours modifying
to mimic the real deal as closely as I could. The problem I had, was except for chalk rounds, I was always afraid to set the mesa on fire around here. Traded it off with a couple cases of factory ammo for a new commercial M9. Miss it, but it really was useless. I can see the appeal of the genuine Colt to round out a collection. The value will only increase in time..... ETA; Within weeks of selling out, (Which means immediately ) you'll see 'em going for $3K plus on Gunbroker Pics: Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Fair enough, I laughed at those when they came out but I knew they'd sell all of them. I was interested in the FN M4 & M16 until I saw the price. Doesn't mean it isn't worth to someone else. As far as the M249S my quote was:
'I'd like a closed bolt, semi-auto, belt fed 5.56 that weighs 20lbs' - No one ever Quoted:
You only own objects that are dependent on their usefulness, with no cool collector items? I'm not in at this price, but know a few people that might. I'm not in for a belt fed semi auto FN, but I'm sure they sell them. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Oh please...stop. That wasn't my question. Buy items which you will use and make you a more proficient shooter. Chances are that will come into use a lot sooner than buying a GL which will more than likely never see any use...other than sitting on your rifle, in a dark corner, of your already loaded safe. I'm not in at this price, but know a few people that might. I'm not in for a belt fed semi auto FN, but I'm sure they sell them. |

Most real buyers aren't even commenting in this thread.
You know, the guys with $25000 M16s, the guys who understand title one, the guys who know Colt dropped the pony and went to roll marks. The guys who are gonna buy 'em all up. Every.Damn.One. |

Hey! What gives? The only price I see on the webpage now is $3500.
Are you still going to be offering these for $2000 when they release?? |

For the price why would you not buy a 203 receiver and 40mm barrel...and just buy the tax stamp and be in it for half the price.

Due to overwhelming demand we will be running what we are calling a pre-sale on the launchers for the $2,000 price in the next week or so, all launchers will ship within 30 days of the sale. Once they start shipping price will increase to a higher amount until they are all sold.
We have received enough dealer inquiries to sell out the entire lot without retail sales but have decided against that route as we would prefer to give our individual customers the chance to buy a legit Colt M203 without the second hand market price increase. The 40mm models which are identical (except for the tube diameter) sell for no less than $3,500 whenever you can find them and are highly restrictive, real buyers / collectors understand this and the amount of calls/emails we have received exceeded our expectations. Stay tuned.... |

Our answer is we will be running them for $2,000 as we have said the whole time, that price is good for the people who act fast on them and will last a few weeks then we will increase the price. I will announce on here when our sales team puts them in stock on our website, anyone who signed up will be notified by email automatically as well.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, we run our business fine enough to score ridiculously rare factory items on a consistent basis and we put them out at fair prices, we won't be going anywhere anytime soon Quoted:

View Quote From a collectibility viewpoint, these things are basically worthless if they don't have the authentic roll marks. That won't stop some from paying the premium price just because of the name. But honestly, why would you do that when you can get Title 1 LMT 203s with actual roll marks for $1,200? LMT 203s have been used by the military just the same as Colts. I'm willing to bet a lot of the interest is from people seeing "Title 1 Colt m203" and not looking more closely at the actual product. I imagine many will not be happy to see the change in the markings. "Oh but isn't that just small stuff?" No it isn't, because the only people interested in dropping $2,000-$3,500 on this are going to be the diehard, detail-oriented collectors. $3,500-$5,000 for a real 40mm Colt M203 is worth it because of the roll marks, scarcity, and authenticity to what the military uses. |

FWIW - I have seen Colt M203's with engraved marking at Crane NSW.
