Some of you may recall the previous FBI specification rifles that made it onto the civilian market as the LE6920-FBP1. There is now an updated specification rifle that has come onto the market with the SKU LE6920-FBP2. The rifle is available from Arms Unlimited.

Our friends over at Looserounds.com have published a good article on the Colt SPII series which provides some good history and clarification.

I bought this off of Ebay thinking it was potentially some obscure Colt publication…nope.

It is a conglomeration of military TM data reprinted in a 5.5″x8.5″ format and published by Desert Publications. It IS NOT a Colt product.

Received in the mail today….1981 advertisement for the Laser Products Corporation LPC Model 16 Military Laser Sight for the Colt M16A1 rifle.

I was fortunate that one of the members of the Facebook group provided me with photos of Colts display at Shot Show. I was excited to see the M5 Carbine hit daylight. It would be great to see a civilian version of it hit retailers. The ambidextrous lower receiver modeled after the 901 series of rifles would be an instant hit.

These Colt leather slings come up for sale periodically. I have seen three for sale over the last year and have dropped out of bidding on them each time. I would really like to have one for one of my Colt HBAR rifles but the timing of the sales that I find is never good. This example sold on Gun Broker 19 JAN 2020 for $260 (winning bid) plus $13 shipping. Total cost $273. That is pretty crazy price for an old sling. But, as we all know, Colt collectible items come at a constantly changing market price.
