as per your original post, i'll also include, in case you don't already know:
the National Firearms Act of 1934 requires that all "title 1" (unregistered, privately owned weapons) have a minimum 16" barrel. so all complete, non-title 2 (registered with the BATF, commonly referred to as "NFA guns") rifles come with a minimum 16.1" barrel installed. the 6921 is an NFA gun... in order to by an un-modified 6921, you need to file a Form 4 with the BATF, pay a $200 fee, and wait 2-6 months for approval. if you buy a regular Colt M4 lower receiver, and buy a 6921 upper seperately, you can then have a 1.7" muzzle device (not all MDs meet this minimum length) pinned/welded to the barrel, bringing it to full title-1 legal length. to save on waiting potentially 6 months before you can take possession of the weapon, if you wanted to "SBR" it, you can do the latter, and then file an ATF Form 1 (to MAKE an SBR), have your gun and shoot it while you wait for approval, and then once you receive your returned/approved Form 1, have the muzzle device removed and/or buy additional short-barreled upper receivers.
in case you're not aware of the applicable laws/procedures involved with 14.5" barreled gun.s
Thanks for the additional info. I believe I'll start with a LE6920 and go from there. I don't want to pay the government any more than I already do and I don't want to have to file any special form with them either. I wish they'd forget that I exist.
Does the above apply to shotgun's ? If memory serves, isn't an 18" shotgun barrel minimum ?

you can't SBR from michigan, but none of these rules apply if you have a permed 14.5. i have, and have had many, non-SBR/non-NFA 14.5 guns with permed muzzle devices.
all the same rules for shotguns, but you're correct- the non-NFA legal minimum is 18

I Built a LE6921 Upper and Permed the FH and put it on a Match Target Lower .I hope Alabama will Vote on the SBR repeal soon and then 200 off to the ATF.
I really tried to Get closest to what I trained and carried in the Army .Just missing the go fast switch.But it is One of the Best ARs I have owned, I like the way it handles Better than the 6920, some notice the the different feel, some don't
I Love My Colt and so will you

This is the same dilema I am in. I can't have a SBR in my state, but I want to buy a Colt LE 6921 and have the seller pin it for a small fee. Some gentlemen on here told me where to go yesterday, but when I saw the price for a LE 6921 with a pinned barrel at the site they told me, It was almost 2 grand
I mean Knesekguns has a Colt 6921 for only $1,450. I know a perm. flash hider job dosen't cost $550!
Who can sell us a pinned LE 6921? Grant? Anyone?
