i agree with all of the above. i personally haven't seen anyone clamoring for the le only engraving. didn't all of them engraved with it have the larger pins anyway? some people don't care, but it's a detractor for me since i'm a big fan of the modularity.
Mine has the LE engraving and small/normal pins, lot date on the plastic wrap and bags shows 07/09. I can swap both the upper and lower with my BCM, Rainier, and SAA uppers and lowers.
$1700 is way to high IMO.
Tell him you'll give him 800 with utg handguard and slidefire stock and 850 without that stupid shit.
1k tops. Assuming it has low round count. Really the only desirable "extras" I see in that deal is the ammo and mags. I would offer 900 if it is in good shape. Sell the slidefire and rail to recoup some money. Fyi, I just bought a LE6920 MOE for $1100 OTD.

Slidefire stock and low round count probably don't do together, just sayin...
There isn't anything collectable about the LE rollmark. I bought mine in July with Magpul OD package for 1050. The serial number starts off with LE and has the M4 Carbine roll mark. I can't remember where I saw it but I thought Colt was saying they are soing away with the sporter roll mark and serial numbers begining with SP. They said it was to ease production and that people didn't want the Sporter roll mark as much as the M4 rollmark.
added text: I also have a roll mark stating it was made by Colt Defense not Colt Manufacturing.

He's talking about the earlier models, I believe. On the mag release button side, it has the 'restricted military/government law enforcement/export use only' markings.
