Colt LE6920 with Mexican Defense markings on Gunbroker?

I actually kind of want one of these. My wife is Mexican and I think it would make a cool gift for her. Any information out there on where they came from or why they are for sale other than what is in the GunBroker listing?

That kind of why I wanted one... I'm half mexi. Plus I'm just a Colt hoe.

Not enough chrome or gold leaf for a real ese.

I say this as a 2nd generation American on my mother's side. Grandma used to tell stories of passing a battlefield on the train into the US when she was a kid. (1910s timeframe)

Interesting roll mark though.

These are most likely contract over runs. The Mexican Army / DOD runs the only legal gun store in the country for both civilians and state and local police. These are intended for sale to state and local agencies and possibly individual officers.

I've seen Mexican cops with a variety of rifles including Colt and other ARs, HK G36/G36Cs and Beretta ARX 160's, FALs and even one team with DPMS AR-10's.

If I were in their shoes I would much rather have a 6920 than any of those other options.

$700 for a legit Colt 6920? Yes, I would have been all over that.

There's 14 more available

I picked up one of the LE6920's with removable carry handle. I like the traditional carbine design compared to the new variants with the Magpul accessories. At $699 with no tax, no shipping and Mexico government markings this has got to be a win-win. Surely there will be some additional collector value down the road as well.

I wholeheartedly agree, my friend. I went ahead and ordered two 6920's with the removable carry handle.
