Quoted:
That looks more like a Mk-18 base than a commando. Commando would have a fixed carry handle, that is a flattop with a detachable. The new Commando has a flattop (933 or semi 6933) and an 11.5" barrel. I like the older ones too, but still a fine weapon, and better than a Mk18 IMO. |

$ 1120.00 on Gunbroker from RAT WORX.  Quoted:

For a couple hundred more than it would cost to assemble this kit, u could just get a factory Colt SBR...  Fine! $300...I think I would go that route...factory sbr with m4 marked lower... and that is only figuring $100 for the stripped receiver/transfer. ..

Yup, your getting the Colt lower which alone sells for $ 3 to $ 500.00, all I would add is the carry handle sight. Quoted:

All the ones I've seen in the 6933 pic thread had them. Frankly, a pretty good deal, cool markings on the receiver, and no engraving necessary - just the stamp wait. |

Thanks for sharing the link to the Colt LE6933 part sets that APEX is selling! In case you want more info, here is the link to the description on the factory web site: http://www.colt.com/Catalog/LawEnforcement/Products/ColtM4Commando.aspx#97714-features--models The part sets do show some use, but overall are in very good condition. The source advised that these had been in service for less than 2 years. So, while not really a retro set of parts, they are nice. Also, regarding photo's on the APEX web site, we select an average condition product and photograph it. Only a few NEW products have manufacturer supplied images. I was thinking this might be a good pistol build, especially when fitted with one of the new arm braces. Richard |

Who the hell buys from Apex for their retro parts? Before the panic the prices were reasonable but now in my opinion they are priced too high. There are even members who sell in the equipment exchange who think every retro part is rare. THIS. Apex used to be a great source. I know they are good folks, but their M16 parts are just getting too high. |

Good to see I'm not the only one to notice this, now for a good deal closer to retro. 16" pencil barrel on a complete carbine |

Regarding that Clearance Colt ad Wow! Is that a.625 gas block on their? |

Didn't know any better at the time... |

I'm working on a local trade/deal for an older Colt Commando with an A1 receiver, it seemed quite heavy for an 11.5" pencil barrel upper,. I didn't look under the handguards, but are they thick like an HBAR under the guards? I had one of those and it is skinny under the handguards. It should feel like a toy. |
