I’ve noticed that complete Colt M4 upper halves (LE6921CR) are available for $465 or a little more from various retailers. I realize that they have 14.5" barrels which is an issue for many, but the price seems really good. The 16" version of the same (LE6921CK) is $180 more. The 11.5" version (LE6933CR) is almost $400 more. Given the manufacturing costs involved, it seems like the 14.5" and 16" barrel versions would be basically the same price with the 11.5" version the same or perhaps a bit less. I know that the market isn’t always logical, but is there something else going on here?
I bought one from Beebe Family Arms & Munitions for $473. They took over two weeks to deliver, but it’s exactly what you’d expect. I suspect that they just had someone drop ship it for them. Yes, it includes the rear sight and BCG. Family Firearms now has them for $465. I’ve bought plenty from them, so they’re good to go.
Its the same one that has been brought up before. I’m all for people making a profit, and I get it. However, selling things at rape prices just because you can shows the character of an individual who is clearly running a business and not paying to be a business member here.
Thank you, I just ordered one from them. I was going to order two, but you can only order one, which I can understand. Otherwise someone would buy 25 just to hawk online.
The LE6921CR upper that I bought sits on my M16A2 lower right now. It’s basically an M4 except for the markings on the lower. Not that it really means much, but I put 100rds through it last weekend without issue. I’m seriously considering getting another.
I bought one a few weeks ago from grabagun 6921ck for under $500. It came in the colt box and sealed in the blue colt bag, it took 10 days from order to FFL. The upper looks great and shoots fantastic, quite accurate. I had an extended A2 flash hider pin and welded, and used a PSA stealth lower. It’s a very handy carbine to have and the perfect length for almost any situation or usage. I wanted one for a long time but at $750 I couldn’t justify the price.
A few years ago, in the time before coof, there was an item in the EE that was priced above internet vendor prices, where it was immediately available, and he still required shipping and FFL transfer. I contacted the seller as a courtesy, because I thought he didn’t know that a second production run had happened, and he was like “yeah, I know. Want to buy it?” Lol, why would I? I had just bought one for less from a trusted vendor with free shipping.
