Colt `s Law Enforcement Carbine 5.56mm NATO First Year of Civilian Production

Description:
The barrel date on this rifle is 05/98 and the shipping date attributable to the serial number is 1998 according to Colt Archives, which is widely accepted to be the first year that the Colt M4 Law Enforcement Carbine was made available to the public by the manufacturer. It is also the beginning of the LE prefix, which enjoyed popularity for many years and is no longer in use. This rifle has been restored to its original configuration by removing the "fat" handguard, not yet introduced by Colt at the time of manufacture, and replacing it with the 6-hole "skinny" handguard then in use. That was all the restoration needed to bring originality back in line, except that the forward side sling might not be original, but was left in place anyway.  The lower remains as it was issued, with the N1 stock, then in use due to the fact that the "waffle stock" had not yet come into the picture.  There exists the normal wear for a 26 year old used rifle, but good plus plus seems appropriate. By the way, the dirty handguard has been cleaned up. It is suggested that the pictures be reviewed inasmuch as they are integral to this description. Buyer pays actual cost of shipping and insurance. As always, it is highly recommended that used firearms be inspected and approved by an experienced gunsmith prior to firing. Thanks for looking.
