COLT DEFENSE model 6940-P (Piston Carbine)

COLT DEFENSE 6940-P (Piston Carbine) 5.56mm Rifle

"RARE" COLT 6940P (Piston) 5.56mm Rifle.  These are very similar to the LMT and HK 416 models. These are trade-ins from a law enforcement agency and as with most LE trade-ins, these were carried a lot, shot very little.  These will exhibit some moderate wear common with an item that has been in Agency used.  You get the BEST AVAILABLE rifle when placing your order.  ALL rifles are in VERY GOOD condition.  See pics for details.  All sales are final.

COLT LE6940P Colt Alternative Operating System
Piston technology is nothing new for us here at Colt. In fact, it was our company that was the first to put a piston system into an AR platform in the late 1960’s to meet a US Army request. The Colt Model 703 was born. Again, Colt was the first to produce this new wave of AR piston systems over 40 years ago…and we’re doing it even better now.
