Colt CS told Arfcommers per this thread...

https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Colt-LE6920-Lowers/180-2048961/&page=1&anc=bottom#bottom

"...The “CR” prefix is what is currently used on all our LE products. There may be some LE prefix lowers in the marketplace still but all new lowers on all LE rifles are CR prefix. The only difference between an LE prefix lower and a CR prefix lower is the serial number range..."

"...Also asked about the new CR prefix serial numbers. They said it was a new standardization of serial numbers they were doing. The only one that is different is the A4 model that starts was a CAR..."

Thought I'd bring this up.  Only discussion about the CR prefix I've read is in Brownells Colt 6920 lower sale discussions.

Seems some on this site equated the LE serial number prefix with a law enforcement model. It ain't. It's JAFAR / 6920.
If your lower is not rolled marked "LAW ENFORCEMENT" it is not now, never has been, and never will be a "LAW ENFORCEMENT" model.

ETA:  And a LE roll marked 6920 lower is just another 6920 lower with a "LAW ENFORCEMENT" roll mark on it brought about by the ban years and later Colt marketing.

Am I right?

Ha! Exactly as I predicted, in the lower thread.

This is what I had started to conclude as well. Honestly I don't get all the hoopla about having to have an LE prefix or a Law Enforcement marked rifle.  I would prefer to not have that or the stupid Restricted markings they used to have.  Amazes me people ask more for that crap in the EE and some pay more for it.

Intersting, but as long as they keep making reliable rifles, the serial number does not matter to me.

CDNN has 6920s for $699.

Pictures show LE prefix, for those who want to get one before they're gone.

Great. Now LE prefix lowers will pull premium prices. We are doomed.

Dang, that's a deal, not that the rail is worth anything.  What's up with the stock having a QD point?  I like that!  Oh, and the handguards appear to be carbine handguards, not M4.  I'm guessing the stock and handguards are not colt made, and just something cdnn is putting on them, especially since it says those are oem1 models.  I do like the stock though.

P&S contract stock. "Enhanced"  was the terminology used. Tactical Intent was selling them awhile back for like $18. Cage marked 4U486.
