Is the new Colt 6920MP legal in CA

[glock7]

Hahaha I hear you doc. Though i do have a BCM. Which is acceptable in their eyes. Though I scour that site for info but I never post because I don't wanna get my *** chewed... Lol

[Bowser]

Definitely in just for the lower now. Extreme kool-aid!

[OIF_VET]

I'm in, stipped or complete. Yeah, that Magpul stuff has to go.

[Cokebottle]

If it says 6920 on it, I would stay away. I don't see it in the pics though. IANAL

6920 is banned by name.
Colt AR15 is banned by name.

While the 6920MP is not specifically banned by name, "The Right People" recommend remaining very far away from ANY Colt lower, including the 6940.

The problem is as you see in the picture... the model number is not on the receiver on most (any?) of the Colt lowers. The only identifiable information is the serial number.
That means that any time you have that gun, you need to have a copy of the documentation that ties that serial number to a non-listed model number.

Then pray that the arresting officer actually listens to you when you tell him your story... but likely he's going to confiscate the gun, make a felony arrest, and let the DA decide.

What if ones father gifts the 6920 to his child? Is that still illegal?

If its the LE6920, it is still illegal by name, regardless of the transfer process.

The one in question above (the SP6920) seems to be legal. If a lower appears i'm all over it!

[glock7]

That's what I was talking about the sp6920. Or would that still create doubt even as a gift from father to child?

[Ubermcoupe]

The LE6920 is offlimits unless you can get it register (LEO, etc)

I think the doubt on the SP6920 is the issue.
It doesn't matter if it is gifted from father to son, or just bought outright. Maybe I am confused by your question?

As I always ask, under what circumstances is LE going to come in contact with someone's firearm?

If you have a valid license, valid registration and valid insurance, unless you are found to be under the influence while transporting your firearm to the local Range, a traffic violation, speeding or even a collision does not warrant PC access to the locked Pelican case in anyones trunk.

I own a Colt M4 LE6921, which is identical to the LE6920, LE6940, and LE6933. To date, it has never drawn a second look from LE or any Range Officers at the Angeles Range. I even had a Sherrif ask me how I liked it, and commented that it must have been hard to get.

It seems that we have gone from worrying about the Rollmark Police to now worrying about the Serial Number Police (SP), which is far beyond ridiclous.

To end this debate, on the 14th, I purchased a SP6920MP-B lower, minus the Magpul junk, which arrived at my local FFL today, which is awaiting DROS, and unless someone beat me to it, this is in fact the first one in California.

Before any nay-sayers well-wish me off to prison, I will in fact keep an eye peeled for the Serial Number Police.

Good grief.

[glock7]

Nice job socom. What I'm confused about is the sp portion. Is it considered "sporter"? That being said if I can find an ffl to bring it in then I guess it's going to be mine!

I just want clarification that the sp6920 can be brought here without ramifications.

You will never get that clarification. You are going to have to calculate the risk and also be prepared to defend yourself in court should you get busted. It might not be illegal, but your local LEO and/or DA might disagree. Is COLT worth fighting for? It might be, but you need to be fully aware of that and be willing to do so, otherwise don't play this game.

[glock7]

10 percent thanks. I guess there's too many things that Kali can use against a person. Guess I'll have to move out of here to get the good stuff....

Just get a Colt 6940 lower and put a upper on it. Keep the Colt 6940 manufacturing paperwork. Proof in black and white.
