I'm also not sure that it's relevant, because this was an American production with American armorers, and armorers do not always choose the correct weapon for non-U.S. police forces. If I had to guess, this weapon is most likely a Colt 6721 (AR-15 A3 HBAR carbine), given that it doesn't have a stepped barrel like the Colt 6920 (the LE Carbine, and Colt's main 16" M4 look-a-like).

			:::Without being able to see the barrel profile (under the handguards), I can't make a 100% ID. If the barrel is a 16" Government profile barrel, it would be a Colt Model 6720 (which was also sold with a lightweight-profile barrel). If the barrel is a 16" Heavy-profile (HBAR) barrel, then it would be the Colt Model 6721. Externally, the Colt 6720 and 6721 are difficult to tell apart - the barrel profile under the handguards is the only real difference between the two guns. -[[User:MT2008\|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008\|talk]]) 15:50, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
