There is a post in the EE with an interesting rollmark; I have never seen a shield next to the prancing pony.
Rollmark Cheers |
Speaking of unusual rollmarks on Colts, does anyone have better pictures of SAW's rollmarked lowers? Does anyone know if the Operator model rifles come with a SAW marked lower? I'm almost tempted to pick one up just for the rollmark to add to my collection... especially seeing as how I'm considering a Form 4 Colt SBR to go with the Form 1 Colts I've got.

Does anyone know if the Operator model rifles come with a SAW marked lower? I fondled several last year at a gunstore in Arizona. It was absolutely under whelming. Just a generic lower with most of the parts taken off of Colts. At a price that was higher than NIB Colts.

I believe a stripped lower was $400.00; they may have some left over. Cheers |

Cheers All of the other pictures of the SAW Operator models seem to have standard 6921 or 6920 lowers, a shame, but unsurprising, but I was just curious about that first picture there which looks like a Colt select fire lower (look at the MFG information, it's tiny and illegible in the picture, but it looks awful like a COLT'S MFG. CO. INC. / HARTFORD, CONN. / –––– U.S.A. –––– marking, but with the SPECIALIZED ARMAMENT / SAW Crest / M4A1 / 5.56 MM rollmarking on the magwell unlike traditional Colt lowers that I find interesting. I don't care enough about the rollmarks to specifically buy a stripped lower with a "special" marking, but as I've been considering the purchase of an SBR Colt anyways, I wouldn't necessarily be against putting a little over the top if I could get the SAW / Colt lower in an SA version, I've got plenty of Colt lowers anyways, it'd have to be something real specialized  for me to pay extra, it's not like I look at my rollmarks too often anyways, pony's a pony, it's only special if it's a pony without a pony.
