Hi Jason and welcome. This likely has to do with the furniture, handguard and sights used. I would seek an accurate answer from Colt Customer Service at 1 (800) 962-2658. Cheers and stay safe!

The "WM" prefix sometimes found in front of Colt model numbers like the WMLE6940 (or similar configurations) generally refers to a specific distributor exclusive or a "Wholesale" model. Here is the context regarding the WM prefix: Wholesale Exclusive: In many cases, "WM" indicates that the rifle was sold through a large distributor (like Wm. Martin or similar industry distributors) rather than directly through Colt's standard law enforcement or commercial sales channels. LE6940 vs. WMLE6940: Both rifles are functionally the same, featuring the monolithic upper receiver. The prefix usually only indicates the chain of distribution or the specific factory batch run rather than a difference in parts quality or function. Configuring Differences: Sometimes "WM" variants are configured with different stock, furniture, or accessories (like magpul furniture) to meet the inventory specifications of that specific distributor. In summary, the WMLE6940 is a factory-produced 6940 monolithic carbin

WM = Weapons Master. I would still call Colt Customer Service @ 1 800-962-2658 and get their professional take. Good luck 👍🏻‼️

The prefix "WM" stands for west mountain. Which is a specific manufacturing run. It is usually followed by "LE"
