Where can I buy a complete NIB Colt M4 A3 upper?  Does Colt still sell to civilians??  Thanks!

Here is the finished product:

YTM is good idea, may also want to check out JT distributing. Jesse with JT is a nice guy and willing to negotiate in my expieriences. They had the 14.5 Colt M4 barrel I needed recently.

TEREK,
Thanks for the info.  I contacted Wes and Dennis.  Here are their prices for those who are also interested.

Wes$700 wiht bolt carrier assembly but no carry handle or handguard.  He also carrys the KNIGHT'S RIS/RAS as well as both KNIGHT'S AND GG&G SIGHTS, MOUNTS, etc.

Dennis Colt M4 16" barreled upper assemblies complete with AR 15 bolt assembly for $750.00 plus S&H.

I will give JT distributing a call as well.

jetflyer,
Thanks for the link.  Nice rifle!!

Neutrino45,

I have shopped long and hard for the past few weeks for a completely new Colt factory assembled M4 upper. The best deal I was able to find was JT Dist. @ $749.  I have seen many without the side swivel attached, so be sure to check on that.  Also, be sure it has the correct carry handle.  

I got lucky (At least I think I did) earlier this week.  A guy posted a completely NIB 6920DC conversion kit that he has had in his closet for over a year.  Never fired.  He sent me a bunch of pics, and I made him an offer.  It is headed in my direction as I type.  The guy agreed to pay the shipping all the way from Hawaii for a total price of $600.  I already have a Colt bolt assembly, but he is including the charging handle. That's the best I was able to do, with my limited patience. :^)

From J&T Distributing web site www.jtdistributing.com/ar15/products/colt145m4upper.shtml, it says that their Colt M4 upper is built on (1x7 twist) Barrel on FN A-2 or standard Flat top Upper.  

QUESTION: Does FN make the Colt M4 uppers or does Colt actually produce their own uppers?  How can I tell the difference?

JetFlyer, Nice group. Is that barrel a 1x9 or 1x7 twist?

Here is a cut and paste from the JT sight.

**********************************
COLT M-4 Upper with Swivel
ALL COLT! Flat top with carry handle, bolt assembly, M-4 handguards and sling swivel attached. Upper receiver, with bolt assembly, adjustable rear sight, delta ring assembly, forward assist assembly, and gas tube assembly..
- - - $749.95
***********************************

Go to the bottom of their start page, and click on the Specials.  I swapped a couple of Emails with them, and they told me the uppers were untouched from Colt. As long as they have the markings and the feed ramp cuts.......


BTW, My 6920DC has a 1/7 barrel on it, and I know it is all Colt.  I think the 1/7 will be just fine for my intended use.

Good luck,

Joe

The sub MOA group shot in the above picture was with the Colt Govt. Carbine and the LE6920DC M4 upper, 16" 1/9 twist.

These are the ALL COLT, flat top uppers w/detachable carry handle, M4 handguards, bayo lug, side swivel, etc...marked "C AF" on the receiver, "M4" above the receiver gas tube port, and have the proper internal feed ramps.

YTM is an authorized Colt parts dealer, recommended by Colt customer service if you call looking for genuine parts. The YTM web page says they only have a few LE6920's left!

FNMI does not make their own upper receivers.  They buy them from a vendor.  They are also prohibited under their contract with the US Military, and the US Military license with Colt, from selling any M16s or M16 parts to any buyer other than the US Milirary.  So...any receivers or other parts advertised as "FN" are just run of the mill vendor parts, stolen or rejects.

The M-4 complete uppers we have come with the bolt carrier assy (sporter style), charging handle, M-4 stamped flattop, detachable carrying handle, M-4 handguards, and the side sling adaptor.  They were shipped in bulk so they did not come in the factory boxes with the accessory pack and warranty cards.  If you have any questions just drop me an Email.
