As you may know possession of full auto lowers is allowed in Germany. So these lowers are available from time to time. Mostly they are M16A1 Export lowers, but newer M16a2 or M4 lowers Show up from time to time. Some are obvious fakes, but I am not sure about this one. What do you think?
Seller offers some Kind of confused description, writing it would have the hole for the sear pin, but no sear cut. In General you can judge from the markings. Fakes have them engraved, but it is hard to tell from pics.

Fake, the real markings don't look like that, engraving vs Colt's roll mark.

Here is a pic bolster has posted in the "Colt quality" thread:
Well, if it is a fake, it is quite good as we have seen much worse. |

The same seller sold a M4 Carbine lower to a Frenchman in May, as I could see in his feedback.
That lower is even more strange. "W" serial number but no "PROPERTY OF US GOVT.", "M4" but "SAFE-SEMI - AUTO" What do you think?

Just my opinion but looks weird. The first one looks kinda forced aged from the rear of the magwell back to the auto sear hole. Looks like it was thinned artificially vs rear wear. |

Thank you all!
I too think the M4 is a fake. The "W" serial should be limited to Govt. issued weapons. What about the M16A2E? Compared to the real one it looks realy close, doesn't it? |

Fake.
Ask the obvious questions; How did it end up on Egun? Colt doesn't just sell lower receivers; Not even to the US Gov't. They also don't sell machine guns to civilian markets anywhere. So it would have to be some sort of export gun. If its "Colt grey", then it will be probably be M-16A2 marked. No matter what the configuration. Second, if the Arms Dealer is able to get a Colt lower, they sure as hell would have gotten the rest of the rifle. And I know any Colt M4 parts would bring a pretty penny on Egun. |

Fake. Font is wrong for an original Colt. Also the "lines" on the lower just don't look right.
