Our Assessment: Colt developed the LE6940 as its advanced law enforcement carbine, and its defining feature is the one-piece monolithic upper receiver. By machining the receiver and full-length rail as a single unit, Colt created a truly free-floated barrel with a continuous top rail that holds zero with optics and accessories, while keeping the chrome lined 1:7 barrel, “C” and “MPC” marked bolt and H buffer that define Colt’s duty-grade carbines.
This 2011 example carries the collectible “RESTRICTED” rollmark on the lower and has been tastefully upgraded with a Magpul CTR stock, Ergo grip, Wilson Combat trigger, Radian Raptor charging handle and a MaTech folding rear sight. It retains about 98% of its finish, the bore rates 9.5/10, and it comes with a 30 round Colt magazine. It is a premium Colt carbine ready for the range or duty-style use.
