Alot of guys loved the rifle just wanted a heavier caliber. I love the rifle and just wanted better ammo. A 556 with hollow points makes one heck of a mess up close and personal. Anyways i bought my sp6940 for 1260.00 out the door. The pony has earned her reputation and this rifle is no exception. The rifle is sub moa all day long with no malfunctions.

I dont want to fire 7.69, or 6.8, and I will keep my rifle clean. 5.55 or .223 is just fine for me, so I am going with the 6940.

I too shopped around and was amazed by pricing; I picked up mine, NIB, for $1351 - shipping included. I put a C-More ATAC on in mere seconds and was hitting everything I aimed at; ranging from 75 yrds out to 200. I'll see how it fares on longer ranges; I'll be heading to the gun club in a few days.

I removed the Matech BUIS and put a Troy on and added a SureFire E2DL and a harris bipod. The only optic that is zeroed is a Trijicon TA31RCO-M4CP ACOG. All mounts are QD and from LaRue Tactical. I also own 3 M4 type Bushmasters. I paid around $1800. and I have noticed the prices go up not down. Excellent Monolithic design, and my current set-up with my Colt 6940 is working great.

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;

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.
