| I started this thread because I was interested in finding out whether anyone had received their 6933, or even gotten the serial number. I've since added to the thread to gather all the information I could find on the this model. Feel free to add to thread as appropriate. |

Living in Illinois is killing me, I want one of those so bad, No SBR's here though Wisconsin is just a short 2 miles north of me and the wife is wanting a new house, If I thought I could pick one up as soon as I moved it would probably be worth it Wisconsin is a much more gun friendly state For God's sake dont put a picture in this thread or I'll be calling the real estate agent today

OMG  I didint know about this. I mailed them and asked to put on the list. I presume this will take a $200 tax. I dont care. Hell for what some guys are paying for 6920's this is a steal. It may not be full auto but I dont care. Oh god please dont pick now to jack me around.

I got a reply that Im on the list. What model will this be rollmarked??? This is my first SBR and can anyone PLEASE give me headstart on what paperwork I will need to get? Looks like my bank account is gonna suffer. I hope my wife doesnt realize why she has to work more OT  Just kidding. Kind of. |
| Should be roll-marked "M4LE Commando" or "M4 Law Enforcement Commando". The model number is R6933. You will need to get sign-off on your paperwork from the CLEO in your jurisdiction. Try the SBR FAQ for more information. Also, look at this thread for information on the semi Commando. |

Whhat..... the ad shows that the M4 LE commando also has the markings on the obverse side!!! is this correct??? EDIT: now that i look at it, that picture also has 3 selector markings.... odd... |
don't put too much into those photos. they were 'put together' to give buyers and idea of what they will look like There wasn't one to photograph. I do not know what the roll marks are to be, but I do know that I paid deposit early on in the process, and have now paid in full, and eagerly await mine. Howard implied those would be shipping week of 3/21 (probably shipping to him not me, but I would hope to get that turned around pretty quick) This hasn't happened yet, but I am optimistic that it will and I will be one of the lucky first 100 to get theirs. You will hear the woot call out - no matter where you are, so it will be easy to tell whether it happened or not....

I sent my money in (first batch too). Still waiting for the Form 3 for my can to clear to dealer so I can sen d in the Form 4. already got the form-4 signed for this one waiting for a serial number. For some reason, this transfer seems to stick in my head more than teh SOS 45 (which I basically just put out of mind so as not to drive me crazy) I blame you people! First you force me to buy it, now you keep reminding me that I don't have it yet! |

Alright guys. I just received my email requesting final payment on my rifles. From David: " Photos are attached of the receiver markings. Left side reads M4LE Colts Law Enforcement. Right side reads Restricted Military/Government/Law Enforcement/Export Use Only. The model is LE6933 which is not in the Colt catalog. The guns have the Commando upper with 11.5" barrel. Since the guns are semi-auto, they are not marked Commando. This is the only version of the LE gun which has been made with this upper. The boxes are marked LE6933. Each gun comes with sling, two mags, manual and box. " Too bad they are not marked "Commando", but what the hell...these are nice! Kudos to David!

This is great news, but I have a slight problem here. I'm very appreciative of Howard's efforts here and I'm also very appreciative the uniqueness of this carbine, and I don't want to sound ungrateful or rude, but. . . . As described in the above post, the marking on the lower is the same as on the 6921:  (Photo courtesy of _DR.) I asked specifically whether the receiver would be marked "Commando" and was told that it would be. It's still a great deal, but it isn't what we were told it was going to be. Not a deal-breaker, but a minor disappointment. |

+1. I was thinking of getting 2, but now I think I will just get the 1, and build another SBR out of a Bushmaster upper for several hundred less. |
curious as to where you heard that El_A. I had the same impression but cannot place the source (damned CRS again.  )anyway, minor disappointment ? I guess Id say so, but based on the pix, I would also say there is a lot more excitement than disappointment. like 99-1 It still is a special edition model (LE6933) and will be a terrific addition to someones line-up. I fthe AR15 platform lasts in popularity for the next 10 years or so, I suspect this model will be a gem. |

I'm buying it because it's a factory SBR, so won't have my name engraved on it. In addition, it's Colt! The more limited it is, the better the chances I could get something for it if I eventually sell it, but I'm not holding my breath. The presence or absence of "Commando" markings don't make a difference to me really. But then, I'm only getting the one, which I will shoot, so I've a different perspective then others. |

| I have one coming in as well and Im torn, I really want to take off the front sight base and install a flip up YHM like on my 6721 for the Aimpoint. I also want to put on a Phantom 5C2 flash hider. Im also thinking of a Magpull stock. I have no intrest in ever selling it but I still like the idea of keeping it stock. I guess Ill have time to decide. |
I'll be keeping it "easily reversible". The front sight can be replaced and still returned, the FH will come off for a Gemtech. I'll use a SIR so I don't need to remove the delta ring, and I'll use the VLTOR stock so I don't need to remove the staked buffer tube. |
That's the same thing that I heard. . . . |
