The quality is exceptional without question the best I’ve seen in AR-15 at just about any price. My understanding this rifle was made for the military and Law Enforcement, you can tell. The LE 6940 feels good, handles like a dream and is a nice all around rifle; I believe one could say “THE BEST OF THE BEST.” Look around; I have seen them going for al low as 1700 bucks and das high as 2700 bucks. I lucked out and got mine for just 1795.00. Since then I’ve replace the iron sights with a Red dot scope and gotten larger magazines, even a C-Mag. The ability to shoot either .223 or 5.56 without hurting the gun is wonderful. Tom To whom it may concern;

Guess they've been out for a little while, but I was still seeing offers above(!) $2,000.00,..incredible.The "hit" people take when they don't shop around.Guess I thought I needed another railed rifle behind my M&P15T and the Robinson XCR(which I haven't had the chance to try out yet. Sooo lookin' forward to the Colt. Guess I'll have to start selling off 2-3 to make room for my 'favorites'..

So far this rifle works fantastic. I would definately shop around though. I picked mine up at a local dealer unopened for 1,425.00. It had a 2,000.00 price tag on it. From what I understand Colt does not have an MSRP so it's pretty much up to the dealer to decide what to charge. My dealer said he was making 100.00 dollars on the deal and I would say that has to be at least close to true. I’ve had mine for about a month now and shot approx. 500 rounds.

Box had never been opened yet. Can't wait to get out behind the house and do some shooting. Much nicer than the other AR/M4 variants i had looked at before i bought this gun. I paid sticker price at the local gun shop and they threw in a cheap hard case too. I just got my LE 6940 today for $1649. Box had never been opened yet.

My understanding this rifle was made for the military and Law Enforcement,it shows. For iron sights they are very adequate,use to have s Sigarms556 iron sights were terrible.The LE 6940 feels good handles nice all around i believe the expression is its "THE BEST OF THE BEST. Shop around before you buy they are going to be hard to get but prices vary$1800.00 to $2600.00 . I lucked out i know a dealer i paid $1800.00 and worth every penny. Being military i can see if in Afganistan this is the rifle for close quarters operation. June 5,2009 Just purchased a Le 6940 quality is exceptional the best ive seen in Ar-15 at any price.
