Is the Colt LE6920 discontinued?

Is the Colt LE6920 an M4?
The LE6920 is a civilian semi-automatic variant based on the M4 platform, not a true M4. It has a 16-inch barrel and semi-auto-only operation, while military M4s use 14.5-inch barrels and offer full-auto fire.
What is the effective range of the Colt LE6920?
The LE6920 chambered in 5.56mm NATO has an effective range of 600 meters per official specifications. Most practical engagements occur within 300–400 meters, where the rifle performs reliably. Actual performance depends on ammunition selection, barrel length, and shooter proficiency.
What is the barrel length of the Colt LE6920?
The Colt LE6920 has a 16.1-inch chrome-lined barrel with a 1-in-7-inch right-hand twist. Overall length is 35.5 inches with the stock extended.
What is the difference between CR6920 and LE6920?
CR6920 and LE6920 are functionally identical 5.56mm carbines sharing the same chrome-lined barrel, receivers, and internal parts. The CR6920 is the newer model; "CR" stands for "Colt Rifle," replacing the older "LE" law enforcement designation. The primary difference is the rollmark on the lower receiver.
How much is the M4A1 rifle?
Civilian M4-style semi-automatic rifles range from around $500 to over $4,000 depending on manufacturer and configuration, with new M4A1-style rifles averaging roughly $1,757. True military M4A1s with full-auto capability are restricted to law enforcement and military personnel and are not available for civilian purchase.
Can civilians own a Colt M4A1?
Civilians cannot own a true military M4A1 with full-auto or select-fire capability. You can legally own semi-automatic M4-style rifles like Colt's LE6920, which share the M4 platform but fire one round per trigger pull and comply with federal law.
