Would like to know how much MA dealer is asking for one these days
There are complaint colts
Don't know what models they are.
Unfortunately colt doesn't make compliant models for ban states, so MA dealers have to convert them themselves before selling them. The work needed to be done obviously cuts right off of their profit, so not many dealers go through the trouble. They can still be found however, you might want to try asking a dealer directly to order one for you.
I'm no expert, but the Colt MT6400 is a ban-compliant model available in MA. I know a MA resident who purchased one in MA from a MA dealer.
If I had a sister I would kiss her deeply long before I would ever neuter a Colt 6920. Every time someone neuters something like a 6920 or a 6940 god tosses a puppy and a kitten into a wood chipper somewhere.

What makes you say this??? LE can't buy anything citizens* can't absent a letter from their department stating its for duty use. I'm not aware of many depts in MA that even give the avg cop a "patrol rifle", much less let them go out selecting and purchasing their own. Are there maybe a handful of chiefs who are willing to write letters for anything officers want to buy? Could be but I know for a fact its neither widespread nor common if its happening at all.
You have not the first clue what you are talking about, apparently. Cops have no special gun buying privileges off duty. Where they have all the unofficial privilage is in possessing what ever the fuk they want because, you know, cops don't jam up other cops.
If the OP wants a 6920, he might have to jump through extra hoops and shell out $ but he can get it and others here have touched on that process. Where there is a will (and $$$), there is usually a way when it comes to firearms in MA. Just depends on how much money you have and how much BS you want to go through.
*cops are citizens but just using common nomenclature to distinguish here.
I got an email from MFS on May 5th that included the following info; hope this helps:
Colt AR-15's and 5.56mm Ammo In Stock
Colt makes some of the highest quality AR-15's you can buy. Mass Firearms School has partnered with 1776 Gunsmithing to bring Mass compliant Colt's to our customers at unbelievable prices.
Colt M4 Carbine LE6920:
Cost: $1,299.95
Each rifle comes with a 10 round magazine and a fully extended pinned stock.
That is pretty darn awesome.
I would like to know if they would add the Magpul MOE Non adjustable carbine stock.
I'd also want a BCM or Battlecomp brake on it.
I am glad that MFS is doing this for us.
In addition to the vast majority of them absolutely sucking completely, just another way MA FFLs routinely kick us to the curb. Stop selling off list guns to retired LEOs or active LEOs for non duty use and you will get a whole chunk of population with sympathy on Beacon Hill who start bitching about "the list". Maybe something would change then. It will be a cold day in hell before we see the offending FFLs quit their BS though.
I have an LE6920 and do not see how it could possibly be MA legal. Far too scary for MA hoplophobes.
Being required to do that is beyond ridiculous. Rather than vandalize the rifle, I would just buy something else.Fixed stock.
Cut bayonet lug.
Attach muzzle brake.

Just put on the Magpul MOE Fixed Carbine stock: it goes right onto the original carbine receiver tube.
A nice muzzle brake is a nice thing.
All you loose is the bayonet lug.
I know it sucks to do it but you are better off with a made compliant Colt then with a lesser rifle.
It's still lame as hell. Why ruin a perfectly good rifle? Build out something else instead of taking something nice and ruining it.
I ****ing hate muzzle brakes, with a few narrow exceptions, too.... meh. The BattleComp and the Carlson Mini don't piss me off much.

Besides, if you kiss your sister deeply for that long of a time, you may just be going down on a slippery slope.
