How about some complete lowers as well! I would slap an SR15e3 upper on top of a colt lower and I have my self one kick ass department approved carbine!

There are really two Colt companies now, Colt's Manufacturing and Colt Defence. Are they equal? 6920LE comes from Colt Defense. These come from Colt's Manufacturing. Does it matter?

• formerly known as "eguns-com"
• M4Carbine required notice/disclaimer: I run eguns.com
•eguns.com has not been actively promoted in a long time though I still do Dillon special
orders, etc. and I have random left over inventory.
•"eguns.com" domain name for sale (not the webstore). Serious enquiries only.
I've been telling y'all this for awhile now. Colt Manufacturing gets the MT line, and now the Sp line from Colt Defense.
According to a rep, I emailed a few years ago, they are all the same, except for the obvious differences, like 1/9 barrel(where listed) or ban compliant parts. Every bolt in every weapon is MPI/HPT
They are the same.

Colt Defense was split off from Colt's Manufacturing Company in 2002 in order to focus on the military, law enforcement and security markets. so Not really they have the same QC

Interesting. Just for reference:
$400 BCM M4 Upper Receiver Group
$140 BCM Auto BCG
$23 BCM M4 handguard
$23 CMT charging handle
That's a $586 subtotal, and the 6920 upper appears to come with a Matech BUIS. Factor in that the Colt BCG is also $40 more expensive (which is also a good price considering they're typically north of $200) and you're right in the ballpark.
Obviously those wishing for a mid-length are not served by this offering, but it's a nicer reversal to see from Colt.
It's about time that Colt started worrying about selling to civilians more. Probably worried that the government money will eventually run out.
Like others have said though, Colt needs to play catch up and then come out with something that will knock one out of the ballpark so to speak.
Maybe this will lower prices on some other companies offerings!
