Was ready to buy an LE6920 when I see Colt has released to Sporter 6920.  Not sure which one to get now?  I do realize they are the same except for the markings.  Which will have better resale value in the long run?   I do like the fact that Colt put "M4" on the sporter model.  Now to decide.

Pick the rollmark you like better.  No, seriously.  They're the same rifle.  

The SP6920 is marked SPORTER M4 CARBINE, no LEO/EXPORT markings on the right side of the magwell, and no caliber markings.  It's marked "COLT'S MFG INC."

The LE6920 is marked COLT'S LAW ENFORCEMENT CARBINE, CAL. 5.56MM, with LEO/EXPORT markings and marked "COLT DEFENSE."  

Everything looks better with Krylon.

+1 Which rollmark do you like better.

I don't have a crystal ball so I can't really say which one will have a better resale value in the future.

I have a SP6920 but I don't have a LE version (yet), I also have a 6721 which is a LE series model that I bought last year, when comparing their quality they're the same.

Maybe to be on the safe side get both, everyone needs a spare backup, better get 'em quick while the prices are still at their record lowest at the moment.

I have met some pretty stupid cops. I prefer not to have things marked "restricted Law Enforcement Only..." on the side.



Add to that I think it would be pretty cool to have an M4 clone that is actually marked "M4 Carbine", and that would seal the deal for me.



If I had the money, that is.

I personally like the LE version more.

+1 on this.

So much so I had to get another one.

i would like to have one of each.  

but since my primary use of my AR is making me a tactical internet operator only, I like the LEO markings and the Colt Defense rollmarks.

Thanks for the laugh.
I chose the SP6920. I could have had the LE for the same price. I liked it without all the LEO markings. I also liked it to say M4 -Carbine.
I still might pick up a LE6920 at some point. Now I want a LE6450.
