I imagine most of them had already been boxed up. They are pretty beat up. One worse than the others with lots of scratches from being stacked on top of each other or thrown into racks and trunks but not much finish wear to the anodizing the kind you'd see from being rubbed while slung. I haven't had a chance to do much with these other than snap some pics so they may look a little better once cleaned up and oiled. Here's a couple pics:

I just finished cleaning my M4LE lower receiver this morning and I was able to remove every mark. Non abrasive is what you want, otherwise it will damage the surface. I use Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black, some Q-tips and go to town. It will not remove/damage the anodizing, but it will slowly remove the mark. It is amazing how well it works. |

Two things to add:
1) I called colt with my serial numbers and was told my rifles in the LE019*** range were made in November 2004 and sold to "Phoenix Distributors." 2) I just realized one of the lowers I got from this drop was the exact lower they used for the listing photo. This isn't historically significant but I thought it was neat.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AirborneCIB: "H" buffer? That's what came with 'em. Not sure if they're original to the rifles or not. The PD who owned these definitely did some monkeying on the rifles because the end plates have been swapped with sling loop versions and they didn't bother to re-stake them after installation. Colt probably wouldn't have sold them that way. |

Colt puts H buffers in their carbines; my 6920, 6940, and 6960 all came with them.
I'm not sure where the idea of putting H2s in unsuppressed carbines came from, but I suspect it's because of manufacturers using hogged out gas port sizes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JoshNC: I’ve always used a very fine abrasive and oil. Isn’t Aluminum Black just painting over the blemishes? These are deposited onto the surface of the anodizing and can be removed versus covered up. It's a chemical reaction. It dissolves the metal that makes the mark while turning it black. There is no indication, at least on my lower, that anything was used. My lower looks new. |

You can get a brand new 6920 (minus furniture) for that price or less. Unless I missing some intrinsic value in having a police trade-in?
