Colt 9mm AR15 Carbine

[@sldessel]

I shot one of these back in the day. These thing was crazy accurate and shot well. I can not believe why they did not get more popular.

[@jericho2619]

Sold out within an hour.

[@daneaxe6465]

No surprise at all. There's not that many of those that were sold so supply is tight. The whole gun market went out of whack with covid and the quality name vintage rifles and revolvers have soared sky high and stayed there. Example...the Savage 99 was never real popular as people, including me, thought they were ugly and not amazingly accurate. Now they appear to be valued like artifacts from the 2nd Egyptian Dynasty.

Dam it

[@cody8217]

They were gone in 12 minutes.

[@donwyoming1936]

Kind of rare on the civilian market.

[@cody8217]

@@donwyoming1936 They sell the 6951 every day. It's not rare.

[@rickholland6695]

I am a former LEO. My department utilized the Colt 9mm carbine for a number of years. Then, we switched to the Colt AR-15 rifle.

[@maxximus2012]

$1249?!

[@donwyoming1936]

Not a bad price, really.

[@UnitedArmory]

Very disappointed in the price point. But people keep buying them.

[@daneaxe6465]

They always were high even way back at introduction. Its why I never bought one.

[@donwyoming1936]

They were always over $1000. So the price isn't that bad.

[@mOOOp42]

I would love to own one of these but proprietary magazines and the price for these used ruins it for me. At that point I can build my own that uses glock magazines for a fraction of the price, it just doesn't have the "cool" pony stamped on it.

[@stormlakebobcat9058]

Yes. Springfield has one similar. But isn't it Glock compatible?

[@GMSkaldak]

Unless you're dead-set on the carry handle, the Colt 6951 exists and can be found for ~$1000. This is an uncommon Atlantic Firearms "L."

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

Payment cleared this morning.

[@toddparsons2980]

Awesome.

[@genfiveten595]

$1249.00

[@SlaterRecreational]

@@genfiveten595 Unfortunate. If these were under 1000 I’d be interested. 1250 is uncompetitive especially in this market. Don’t doubt some will jump on this though They likely paid very little for these rifles

​@@usernamehhhs4540😂 I was thinking it was less than 800

[@AnimeFan_2013]

Is "Colt Defense" a different branch of Colt?

[@stormlakebobcat9058]

After their 2002 split, Colt manufacturing was civilian. And Colt Defense was military. Now they are one company again

[@AnimeFan_2013]

@@stormlakebobcat9058 Oh, I see. Thanks

[@stevejohnson5593]

Way over priced.

[@jjfromtexas586]

Not really, try to find a complete one for anywhere near that.

[@lukeluke4457]

I agree but it’s like they can charge whatever they want

[@rembrandthpc]

What mags does it take?

[@cody8217]

Proprietary Colt mags

[@GMSkaldak]

Colt SMG pattern magazines. Colt labeled mags retail for $60 each, whereas Metalform labeled mags (they make the Colt labeled mags for Colt, just fyi) are around $35 each. Recently, Springfield Armory has started selling mags for their Saint Victor 9, and those are retailing for $30 each (they're also made by Metalform, lol). All others mags (ASC, Duramag, etc.) are kinda iffy and best suited for range days.

[@Weptek911]

@@GMSkaldakASC and Duramag have been great for me. Right alongside my Colt and Metalform. 100% reliable.

[@lelandgaunt9985]

The brownell mags are good

[@erich.2550]

Eh....I'd rather have a Saint Victor 9mm carbine.

[@1945tigers]

9mm in a rifle what a waste of a rifle.

[@Mega554321]

Police still use that?

[@SlaterRecreational]

Clearly not, these are trade ins man.

[@richardkiser4951]

​@SlaterRecreational I have one from CMMG. It's a MK9 LE 9MM and uses Colt style mags. It does a fine job.

[@TY-pf6vb]

Nah would make no sense to when patrol rifles are fairly common and available this probably sat in their armoury for a decade +

[@SlaterRecreational]

@@TY-pf6vb likely a small department thought this would be a good training aid.

[@TY-pf6vb]

@@SlaterRecreational It’s possible but who knows the stock does look fairly modern for what it is not that retro looking stock

[@jjfromtexas586]

I was late 😞

[@letsgetit90]

Dam, you have 1250 dollars like that?

[@TheREALLibertyOrDeath]

Ha, Saved you about 1500 dollars!

[@b_hill1380]

Those mags suck. Just get something Glock mag compatible.
