Colt LE AR15 Spotted

[ateixeira]

Bob at Gunrunners Gun Shop in Frederick MD has a Not readily found Colt AR15 Carbine "Law Enforcement / Government" marked. With telescoping stock and removable carry handle for 1,995.00


If it wasn't for the fact that I have bought more regulated stuff than you can shake a stick at in the past 3 weeks I would have picked it up.

Ouch. The Tackle Box in Lexington Park had the same rifle a couple of weeks ago for $1399, unless that one is some special collectible that I'm not aware of. The rifle at The Tackle Box was marked 'LE/Govt only' as well, as I think all Colt ARs are marked.

Colt LE6920 models are selling for just under 2K now AFAIK.

If I said I put my first AR-15 together, complete with Armalite 5.56 chrome-lined upper and an EOTech sight for under $1K, that wouldn't make me very popular right now would it?

Whitemarsh had colt cash and carry Hbar carbines for 1550.

No it would not!

geez, I builded my AR15 for less that 700 bucks each...

Just need a Complete Set of the bolt/Carrier and handle, then my Second AR15 will be done for less than 750 bucks

LE6920's are $2250 at the Armory in Annapolis!!!

 

[coinboy]

Gun Rack has a Colt marked Government/LE use only in 9mm for under $2K. I think it was about $1800.

 

[guthook]

I don't need another AR that bad.

I'd rather have a varmint complete upper, if I could find one.

 

[beaglefan]

Pony not worth that much to me.$1200 to $1300 would be alright but that's crazy

 

[ateixeira]

And they ain't going to get any cheaper.......... I currently have an S&W M&P15 that will soon becom a 101/2" SBR. I will take the 16" upper and build a lower for it. I hope I can stay under 400.00.

Amazing what prices are being asked for in the last 6-12 months. While it is a nice rifle and of the highest quality. Just not a 2k$ rifle. While i was at a company meeting the other day , i heard guys talking about how they wanted to buy ak's before they were banned. I asked them if they were NRA members and if they have ever written the politicians.

They had blank faces!! They didnt know what i was talkning about

 

[rrrrrrkevin]

thats called price gouging and continental will sell you a colt hbar govt/LE collapsable stock cash and carry ALOT cheaper than that

 

[DD214]

FYI, The Tackle Box in Lexington Park has a 6920 in stock, although it won't be around long (they had two, but let's just say that one is now accounted for...). And no, they are not price gouging. I'm not panic buying, but buying just as I would in better times.

Oh, and kevp/K-Romulus, I did break it down and everything is indeed properly staked.

Seriously though, I do appreciate your tips around here on stuff like that, as I never would have known to look otherwise.

The Tackle Box had two of them last week for ~$1450/each (NIB). I took one, but I suspect the other sold soon after.

I just don't get this....

Why do so many people have a hard-on for Colt? I mean really, let's examine this nonsense for a minute...

1) Goofy pin size. Who needs to swap uppers though if you've got a Colt, I guess? Sure, you can get an adapter... But should you have to "need" to?

2) Sear block. Nothing else to say about that...

3) Bastardized carrier. They've milled so much metal off it it's TOO light.

4) "LEO" marked? Why the Hell would I want a rifle that's MARKED "law enforcement only"? I'm not law enforcement. Is it me, or does anyone else out there find the phrase "law enforcement only" - when stamped on a firearm - a little disquieting? We're not talking about a Post '86 Title 1 gun here - just an ordinary semi. It subtly screams "police state" to me...

5) $$$. I defy anyone to shoot any better with a Colt 69-whatevertheHell than they would with any other quality AR platform that was half the price.

The ONLY Colt AR series I would EVER own would be an old SP-1....
