Another Vestige of the Ban Disapears

[Wildalaska]

Form a note I just got from Colt:

"Colt Defense is discontinuing the use of the LE “restricted to Military and Law Enforcement” roll mark. As soon as existing production runs are complete, models previously roll marked as LE6920 and LE6940 will be roll marked as SP6920 and SP6940. This change applies immediately to all new orders. In addition, existing orders will be filled with rifles marked with the new model numbers as soon as the LE roll marked inventory has been manufactured and shipped.

Accordingly, proceeding from this date forward, all orders for LE6920’s and LE6940’s will be entered as SP6920’s and SP6940’s respectively. "

Guess the last LE6920s I have are now collector items...anybody want them?

So Colt Defense is going to use the same rollmarks as Colt Manufacturing Company?
Are the company rollmarks still the same, or did they change after the 2002 split?

Colt will simply be selling several models of the former LE-only AR rifles through the commercial company.

See their 2011 catalog on the commercial web site:

I'm not up to date on what Colt's is/is not doing to their ARs.

Will these rifles include the non-standard pin diameters and the restriction insert in the lower?
