Opinions on the COLT LE6940CA

[Merc1138]

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not commenting on what jonnyp should have done or not. Re-read the thread, I have been convinced by the many posts in his thread stating that his rifle was typical for a colt's finish, as stated I have scratched it off my to buy list.

You're still not getting it. If you want to make sure that a colt you're interested in buying doesn't look like JohnnyP's, just look at the thing first.

"Is this scratched up?"
If no, then buy.
If yes, then buy a different one.

It's not that hard. Stop trying to justify JohnnyP's nonsense.

Currently on stand-by for the "HELP!!! I Bought a NEW Trijicon ACOG that was really USED" thread.

Wow, I thought this thread was asking for opinions on colts not trying to convince people to have an opinion??? How did you get that I am justifying jonnyp's "nonsense???" check your medication. Again, re-read the thread a bunch of guys told him that his rifle looked like a new colt, the dings in the rail were under the finish, and so on. Frankly, I do check the weapons I buy at start and finish of dros, and I am not siding with anyone, just stating an opinion on colt ar15. But thank you for the scolding, WTF???

And your opinion is based on what, the opinions of others? As suggested, go one fondle one in person. Otherwise, your opinion is based on unfounded nonsense, especially since you do not own an AR.

The problem is that your posts seem to be indicating that if you did see one that was spotless, you'd pass on it just because JohnnyP's was scratched up and lubricated. That makes no sense. If your only recourse was to somehow buy it sight un-seen, then maybe it would make sense. But considering most of us who buy guns from a shop see them in person first, it isn't much of a chore to simply look at the thing and then make your decision based off of what you see in front of you. This applies when buying any firearm.

To quote the great Diesel Power " The TDP is a bare minimum in which every rifle produced must meet, it's not a standard of excellence". Just because other assemblers/manufactures don't have or use it doesn't mean their QA department is sub standard to Colts...

...I guess I had the wrong opinion, I am sorry for disagreeing with you, colt makes the best armalite reproduction on the planet...please accept my opology.

For "hard to get" ar's like Colt, would the FFL allow you to take the upper home at the time of DROS and just leave the lower in jail?

I've actually done that before.

If you have a good or long-standing relationship with your FFL, that shouldn't be a problem.

Sacramento Black Rifle has the 6920 for $1,199 and the 6940 for $1,399.

i just checked their site, and they don't have the LE6940CA listed which is what the OP asked about. Do you know if they carry this model?

Probably because the M4's are becoming harder to find. I got lucky on a 6920 about a week ago, passing on a 6940 and I think at one point I'll regret it...

You answered your question to the best of my ability. I posted 3 1/2 months ago,

Oh no, I have a Ruger SR 556e-I'm sure that MR556 is the one to get though-nothing but recommendations from my friends...
