When you got the tax payers footing the bill, might as well kit up with the latest and greatest gear Bubba from the gun rag says SOO-CALM is using. What a joke....

haha of course.  sad I didn't think of that...  you do know that it is a fact that DI weapons fail all the time, right?  <tells 3rd hand story about Vietnam M-16s failing a whole platoon/company/division and everyone getting killed that neighbor/uncle/friend told>

Both sellers are from PA - perhaps a big department went to something else as mentioned earlier.

They don't have a website however they advertise on Sturm all the time.  I have puchased 2 or 3 Colt's, MRP parts, optics etc. from  them and they are good folks.  Contact Roger at Midwest Distributors (midwestdistributors @fuse.net or 859-743-0647 ph).

November will be a year that we have had our R0933 commandos and we have not had a single malfunction at training.
The guys on my team are very happy with them.  We have been shooting surplus green tip for practice and I convinced our team
commander to switch from the Federal GM 69 Grain match as our duty round to Hornady 75 Grain 5.56 TAP.

I picked up a couple from Howard.

Minimal wear. Dab of white paint on the front site.

Cleaned up nice. Diemaco markings on the upper and bolt carrier.

Good to go.

I wasn't clear which dealer had Diemaco marked units...  Can someone clear that up for me?

These uppers offered by Spiwak are 10" BBls he says... not the normal 11.5" Colt as the real Commando has. Read his ad closely.  They may be GTG, who knows? i have never seen a Colt 10" bbl.

There are some factory Colt 10.3"ers. I'd want to remove the flash suppressor to check that they weren't cut down.

You can also check for the absence of barrel markings; I believe the 10.3's were stamped under the handguards whereas 14.5's are forward of the 203 notch.
