The long wait for CALI residents to get a legal Colt AR is over! Carbine comes with a bullet button (installed) and two 9rd Mags.
It also features the new “M4 Carbine” roll mark!
For those interested, pricing is here: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=6920CA

No “C” on that upper receiver? Are the bolt and bolt carrier marked as we might expect?
That is just a fluke. I checked the other ones and they have the C stamp.
BCG’s are marked just like they are on every other 6920.

Unless Colt has worked something out with the California Department of Justice, this is not CA legal. Colt, Bushmaster, KAC, Olypic Arms are what are known as “listed lowers,” and they can not be legally owned, imported or sold in California regardless of the bullet button. As a matter of fact, per CA law, even the KAC RAS (yes the rail system) is a listed assault weapon in CA. Fucking retarded, but it is what it is.
Any word on this Grant?
We got ours yesterday. I like their bullet button they use. Instead of a nut that is open at the top and requires a funky pronged tool to isntall sometimes, it’s a closed top flat head slot. I didn’t realize Colt’s came with a sear block area not milled out. Not that it really means anything, but was interesting to me.
You should read the list again. Colt’s Law Enforcement 6920, Match Targets, and Sporters are banned.
Rifles need to be specifically banned by make & model. these ones are not listed AW, therefore legal if configured correctly (either bullet button or featureless)
:haha: Ready, shoot, aim! Grant is quite convesant on the CA laws. He’s been selling CA compliant stuff as long as I have been shopping his sight.
Colt has worked out all the bugs and jumped through all the hoops. Even the box does NOT have the word “SPORTER” on it.
So no worries about it being legal in CA.

:suicide2: joke is on me! Was not trying to be a dick, I have been a CA cop for 13 years and I can’t even keep our dam laws for assault weapons straight. I was under the impression that the list is feature specific, not model and certain brands were automatic no go. In this job, you learn something new every day no matter how long you have been doing it.
Thanks Grant, my mistake, very embarrased considering my chosen profession.:help:
Noob question: What is a bullet button?

In short, its a device that makes your magazine release button do NOT work.
I’m not trying to be a dick but I have a California legal Colt LE6940. When I go shooting I take ALL the purchase paperwork and a copy of the California Department of Justice Kasler v. Lockyer Assault Weapon List for fear of running into a LEO like you that doesn’t know the law.
I also plan to take all the purchase paperwork for the new Colt SP6920CA I just purchased from Grant just in case. Thanks Grant!
You’re not being a dick. I AM an LEO and I keep paperwork with me too. I constantly run into fellow LEOs who don’t know the gun laws or knife laws. Kills me. Pathetic really.
The only thing I don’t like about this Colt is the type of bullet button. All the ones I’ve tried with the button itself that screws in and out eventually back themselves out or tighten to much on their own when firing. The Vamfire that came with my BCM from Grant is the best one I’ve seen so far.
Someday, hopefully, we won’t have to deal with it anymore. But in the meantime, cudos to Colt for finally getting into this market.
If you look at the last year or so, it really seems like Colt is beefing up their civilian sales department. Which is nice.
man I feel bad for you folks in California 
but this is a good start
Two things:
1.) Everytime I read a thread that involves California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and/or New York, It just reinforces how grateful I am about where I live.
2.) The expectation that ANY law enforcement officer knows everything about every law they are tasked with enforcing within their jurisdictions is wishful thinking at it’s best. Glad there are people here that take the personal responsibility to prepare for such a contingency. Sucks that you have to do that but smart none the less.
Now Back To The Original Thread!
Best,
Dave
You guys trapped in the PRK should defect to America.
Sucks to live in those states…and whats funny with all those gun control laws…the violence is higher…go figure
Hijack much?
I thought the thread was about a California legal Colt rifle, not how much California gun laws suck…
