Keep this about the topic at hand and leave your personal conflicts to PMs.
You can tell by date of production and inspection of BCG if it falls into the non C marked range. You can tell if someone slaps a non Colt BCG in. Colt BCGs have unique parts and finish. I’m not an expert on the older Colt parts, but the later stuff is easy for me to identify. I had some jerk sell me a “Colt” bolt On GB, after arguing over the second bolt neither were Colt I accepted a discount. Some folks know better, neck beards will always be out there committing fraud to make easy money. He seemed surprised I could tell the difference. He was selling a bunch of third party milspec parts for a premium claiming they are Colt. Sad.
I picked up a Colt M4 a bit ago and was trying to find out some info on it. It has the marking of LE40****and i can not find anything with this number. Any details or direction on where i can find info is appreciated.
Probably your serial number. Colt's M4/6920 offerings aren't exactly various... What's it say on the box label.

Post a picture. Include the rest of the markings. It appears you have a Law Enforcement model but I don’t recognize the rest. I’ve seen LEs with pencil, M4, and Hbars. Colt started putting LE in front of the serial at some point. It could be anything from a 6920 to a Law Enforcement model. The serial is not on record.
That is your serial number, generally you don't want to post those on the internet.
I'm not a Colt expert by any means, one should be along soon, but I'll give it a shot: At one point the LE prefix meant law enforcement, I'm not sure now. The LE rifles are marked law enforcement carbine and I believe the later rifles had a Colt Defense rollmark.
Edit - clarity
I can't find the box.. i must have pitched it. The owner manual has no model specifics. It does say Colt Defense above the Hartford Conn. It's an M4 Carbine CAL 5.56mm and there is a C on the right side with a small square icon. Other than that i cant see any other markings. I suspect it's a 6920, but I wouid have thought it would be stamped as such somewhere.
It must be a 6920 when they started marking them with the LE precursor. It should have a standard M4 barrel 16” and should not be marked Law Enforcement Government Use, or Sporter. In that case it’s a 6920 which is the gold standard in carbines. You can delete the serial from your posts but it’s already logged for all eternity sadly.
