This Colt LE6920HAWK-FDE ‘survival set’ sold on Gun Broker on 26 April 2020 for $1550.00. As shown in the photos, the original retail price was $1699.00 so this deal was a steal. This looks like a pretty unique collectible. I will post more detailed photos on a dedicated page here on the site within a few days.
This rifle case was seen for sale on Gun Broker. The images are from the sale listing. The selling price was $350.00. I watched it relist three times before it sold on 11 APR 2020. The only information specified in the listing is that the case was longer than a standard 20- inch rifle. The seller believed that the case was from the late 1970’s or early 1980’s.
I picked up this GTA on Ebay at the end of March 2020 for $70. I thought I would share it here on the home page. It will not be saved anywhere else on the site since it isn’t really a ‘Colt’ product.
Here is the cover of the GTA featuring the Colt CRM16A1 rifle
I added a page for the Colt R6430 9mm Carbine with ‘CS’ stock. An example recently auctioned on Gun Broker and was a great deal for the buyer. You can see details here: https://thecoltar15resource.com/r6430-9mm-carbine/

I added four various Colt advertising one-sheets to the site tonight. There is one from 1984, two from 1985 and one from 1988. Three out of four are double-sided with technical information included on the back side. Links follow each photo below.
