Came across these and saw they are allegedly a limited production run. Meets the heavy barrel requirement here in my state and seems to be a nice lightweight colt AR with some interesting characteristics.
14.5” barrel with pinned and welded muzzle brake to make it about 16.2”
Heavy barrel but has the m4 profile/launcher cutouts
M4 Carbine stamped lower
Supposedly a run of 300 produced
Apparently weighs a hair under 6lbs
Apparently the first time Colt has sold a complete factory rifle with this orientation
Anyone else have one? I just impulse ordered one from a LGS after I saw some of the details.
“Advertised or marketed as a heavy barrel” is what the state police said. So there isn’t an actualy measurement or weight.
Could be a pencil barrel manufactured by a company, stamped hbar and sold as a hbar and it’d be good to go.
Talk about retarded.
oh, but here is the funny part.
AR10’s are not regulated, idiot lawmakers complete forgot about the AR15’s bigger more deadly brother, the AR10. AR10 can have any type of barrel. Matter of fact only the AR15’s (chambered in .223/5.56) have this requirement. Other calibers are not regulated like this.
AK47 rifles cannot be purchased but AK74’s are fine. AK47 pistols are fine too.
Someone posted photos of the most recent 2018 release in the LE6920HBPW thread that’s a little ways down the first page here, but the photos have since been removed. This latest release is actually marked “PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT” and M4A1, just like the real thing. Looks great, but someone mentioned that only 250 are being produced. Grant had some but sold out in a day.
I have not been able to find any for sale marked m4a1 us prop. Only m4 carbine (other than the ones from the email grant sent which i stupidly procrastinated on).
