Very nice. I'm jealous, but congrats anyway!

The Colt AR6320 Police Patrol Carbine was the first Special Production weapon ever manufactured. The AR6320 was manufactured as Special Production weapons for law enforcement or government use. In order for Colt to produce a Special Production weapon they require a minimum order of 300 units. The AR6320 was manufactured in 2001 and almost all of the weapons were placed into service prior to the expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban. There are 7 documented AR6320's available to civilians. The lightweight barrel on the AR6320 has a 1/9 twist. The upper receiver has A1 (field) sights. Apparently officers were playing with the rear sight knobs and un-zeroing their weapons. The receiver roll mark says AR-15 LIGHTWEIGHT. Serious Colt collectors will desire a set of these Special Production Weapons. You will be able to add to the set as other Special Production Weapons become available. There are not many collectors who know these Special Production weapons exist. And very few (7) will ever have the opportunity to own one.

1/9 rifling, A1 sights, 5 pounds 13.5 ounces truly define this carbine as a lightweight.

So this piece is 1 of 7? Very nice indeed.

That is correct. This is one of seven that was offered for public sale. There has been some AR6320s popping up for sale every now and then that are LEO trade-ins. These are part of the other 293 that were for police department purchases.

That was understood. See Renegade's post above yours. That was my question.

Thanks for the information. Sweet indeed. Congratulations

Damn! It's got that "Restricted" markings on it. That would have been a deal breaker for me!

All kidding aside, that's one fine acquisition. I use the word acquisition instead of purchase or buy because that's what people say when they acquire a fine/expensive piece of art. And THAT is one fine piece of Colt ARt!

Awesome addition to any collection. Congrats.

That is truly awesome. I do love me some Colt. Is that a 20 inch barrel?

What a great unique rifle! I have never heard of it. At first glance i thought it was just a really nice 6520 until i saw the a1 upper and 1/9 markings. Then i had to read your post. Congrats!
