I was wondering how Colt 6940P owners like their rifles.
I'm thinking about getting one to go along with my two LWRCs.
Thanks and  Semper Fi

Like mine, I bought another as a spare. Mine is a tack driver with AE 55 grain FMJ,

For what it's worth, Maryland's AR ban is going into effect in 2 days.
Colt AR's were some of the first to disappear from in-state inventory in the $1,000-$1,500 category.
My friend had to have his shipped in from Texas.

Two LWRCs and you want a piston Colt?!  Three piston AR15s?!  Don't worry, we understand.    I'm down to 4.  Or is it 5?

I purchased my LE6940P In december 2012, It has a chromed lined one piece BCG. Serial number LP00141*. All of the current production 6940P's with one piece BCG are not chromed lined. It also has a SOCOM profile barrel with the flats under the handguards. Has anybody seen a one piece BCG that is chromed lined? I paid double the MSRP because My colt guy said it was one of the first off the production line.

Picture or it is a lie? You can see the chrome lining on the bolt carrier face.

Clearly cromed lined.

My colt guy said my LE6940P upper was built using Colt P0923 parts, everthing was Colt P0923 parts except the barrel. He told me it was one of a kind prototype. I dont know this to be true, But he said that it was & when I opened the factory sealed box & seen it I dropped $4,000 on it.

Does ANYBODY else have one like this? Hoping it super rare, since I spent $4,000 on it.

Serial number LP00141*. Anybody with an LE6940P with serial numbers between LP001400 - LP001430 I would like to hear from you. Chromed lined?

I'm sure breaking out the pack just made you cry and there was a lot of arm twisting going on.  Or was it like a kid admiring his new bike?

Question, was it $4k just for the LR6904P?

Case a Pelican 1700?

$4K for the rifle alone. There was a little arm twisting because in the ARFCOM community, Pictures or it is a lie & I don't want to be considered a liar.

I bought one a few months back, both of my guns are in in the LPOO21XX range. I have never seen one in the serial range you have there, what is the barrel dated? Interesting

How available are the 6940p's? Wally World actually had a 6940 in stock this weekend, but no "p" versions.

All places I've checked designate " out of stock/email me to notify when back in stock". So is it basically a wait and see numbers game when one will pop up for sale?

No but it don't bother me because I sold 2 restricted 6920's during the panic $6,780. More less I traded in two restricted 6920's for 1 LE6940P & 1 LE6920 SOCOM.

i know i want one.  

Once i get a 6940p and pws mk114 mod 1, i'll have all the piston rifles i want.

Well....aside from a 416.  But paying $3k for an upper is ridiculous.
