[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Mexican Govt. LE6920's? (Page 1 of 5)

Posted: 7/14/2017 5:31:43 PM EDT

Over on Gunbroker is a dealer in PA selling assorted NIB LE6920's with older and earlier Colt M4-features (side swivels/carry-handles ect), with what appears to be Factory Colt Defense roll-marks for the Mexican Government or National LE.

Anyone know the story behind these rifles?

I'm in no way affiliated with or connected to this seller(s) in any way shape, or form!

Pre-Cartel Surplus...

Normally the USA is giving the Mexican .GOV these guns to fight the Cartels...

Instead, the Mexican .GOV ends up selling them to the Cartels,

So, now we have a chance to get in on the fun!!!

I don't see side sling holders. Older 6920's did not come with chamber flags

Bought one thanks. I love this odd ball crap

Pretty interesting. Depending on how many sold already there are around 75-100 in different configs from that dealer.

The carry handle model is a pretty good deal.

The model priced $724.99 appears to have it. It's difficult to see because of the clear plastic pieces used to hold the gun up for pictures, but I'm pretty certain that it's there.

For 699 I might buy & put a flag sticker on that side
now to find a blacked out reverse American flag to cover up the Mexican info

These are overruns for the resale shop sun by the Secretariat of National Defense (SDN) which is basically the Mexican DOD.

The SDN , runs the only legal gun store in the country for both civilians and state and local police. These guns are intended for re- sale to state and local agencies and individual officers. Restricted guns sold via the SDN shop are thus marked to show they are legit.

I've seen Mexican cops with a variety of rifles including Colt and other ARs, HK G36/G36Cs and Beretta ARX 160's, FALs and even one team with DPMS AR-10's.

If I were in their shoes I would much rather have a 6920 than any of those other options.

I went with my best judgement and I ordered a 6920 with the removable carry handle. The temptation to order more is strong!

The "Mexican graphitti" as one of you put it will bring a little extra back when you decide to sell it some time in the future....possibly when the corrupt Democrats get back into their corrupt offices. First time seeing these offered...am surprised our DOJ didn't sell all of these when Holder was in charge...so much for being a good salesman.

Last night I googled "Mexican 6920" and found this old Slickguns listing. It looks like ArmsUnlimited had them for sale last year for $1500 and in the ad it says "Each rifle includes Colt Archive Letter stating these left the factory with the foreign markings."

I bought one of the carry handle rifles this morning and printed out the seller's explanation of what these rifles are and what the markings stand for. For $700, that's good enough for me. I didn't buy it to resell, but it's nice to have a rifle that you can be pretty sure you'll never lose money on. I think they're really cool and bought it just to have one.

If you get more than one the price drops a bit. If you buy ten at one time the shipping drops to 163.00

The shipping price is listed under the shipping instructions. Can't imagine they would charge more than what is advertized...however, shipping of 28 for one rifle within PA is a bit high. It is what it is...

I did a pre check before and after buying one or two or three.

$28 before and during checkout which is where I paid for it. If the person griping about shipping didn't pay attention that is his own fault.

Paying the sales tax in PA is a disadvantage for those of us in a taxed State(no pun intended). My brother is interested in a few of these as well. Fl shipping for four is pretty reasonable and no tax. Go figure...and his FFL is going to charge him 10 bucks per rifle to transfer.

Ordered a carry handle version for $699 and free shipping. I paid the $49 to become a gold member.

Posted: 7/19/2017 12:46:06 AM EDT

I wouldn't be too shocked if they are slow shipping. It took them a week or two for them to begin shipping the M45A1 pistols when they auctioned them.

It looks like there could potentially be 1010 of them. Herd118 over on m4Carbine.net provided this link in a post:

Mexican 5.56mm Carbine Info

"Direct Commercial Sales Congressional Notifications
FY 15
• DDTC 14-108 – Colt Defense ($3 million) – 1,010 Colt 5.56mm Carbine Rifles
and accessories for end use by various Mexican State Governments under the
Secretariat for National Defense. This case was notified on 04/15/2015."

Someone lost their butts on the transaction as that is a unit price of $2970..we aren't paying that :)

Looks like the same dealer that is just running two ads for the same gun with different shipping terms. I wondered why when I searched "Colt Mexico" it came up with two auctions for each of the three models. That must be the reason.

I don't expect to buy more than the one rifle I already ordered...so I'll gladly pay the $28 shipping rather than the free shipping (with a $49 membership). For those of you buying multiple guns (3+), the $49 fee makes sense.

I bought one from 'Gold Deals' and didn't have to pay any tax or any shipping. To buy through Gold Deals, you must be a Gold Deals member. Gold Deals is who sold the Decommissioned M45A1 pistols. You don't have to be a member to buy from the other seller and I think having to pay shipping is a result of that.

On a side note, Colt believes they will be able to provide letters for these Mexico carbines but they will cost the normal $100 per letter.

Both of these deals are offered by the same seller...only difference is the Gold membership you can buy from GB to take advantage of the free shipping offer. Yes, buying three or more pays off buying the GB gold membership. Tax is only being charged to those who live in PA, GA and NC.

Looks like we might have a 1000 of these being offered for the rest of this Summer. Buy while the buying is great.
