Putting the finishing touches to my early XM16E1 lower and have a question.
Should the forge flashing be removed from the front mag well lip. Or any other Colt A1 Lower for that matter? 
Finally a day off from work for some play time.

Therefore, I came up with this solution using the turnbuckles. |

Yes, it should be removed. And yes to other A1 Colts.
H&Rs have that little flash at the bottom on the front, just like yours in the photo. |
