Quote HistoryQuoted: Not all carriers are/were marked. Bolt markings should be MPC This. My lightweight was new in the sealed box. No marking on the carrier, MPC on the bolt in a dot matrix font. |

Quoted: I have a like new Colt 6720 I want to sell. I bought it new and only fired it less than 10 rounds. A potential buyer wanted photos of the bolt and carrier. I could not find a C stamped on the bolt carrier. Did these rifles come without C marked bolt carriers ? What should the bolt markings be ??? Thanks Colt has used a variety of markings on their bolts.          |

And fwiw, I got a legit 6921ck upper that had a C carrier and no markings on the bolt.
Edit: this was 2015 time frame when I got this. |

I got 2 Colt factory CK conversion kits complete upper half last year and another conversion kit in 2019 also 2 Colt auto bolt carriers last year and they all had the "C" letter marks on the carriers, they had smaller font size than the older Colt carriers.
The only Colt auto carrier that didn't have a C mark that I have was the one I bought in 2016. If you wish you could just get a new Colt auto carrier with the C mark, it depends if your buyer demands the marking. |

As others said, not all carriers were marked. Some were marked so lightly you have to REALLY search for it.
All bolts should be marked MPC |

Pics aren't showing up. Is it a MP A marked bolt? I vaguely remember seeing one of those in a CR marked 6920.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Btw The first 2 bolts have the extra character for the mfg date code This.^^^ MPXC = the X is a mfg date code. Also, page 299 of the Black Rifle II shows an example and states the following: "Phosphated bolt manufactured by Colt during 2001, Marked with a large "C" to indicate that it was intended for Commercial sale". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: All bolts should be marked MPC “Should” be marked. Stated above, I got a legit one that wasn’t marked at all. |

Stated above, I got a legit one that wasn’t marked at all. There was a rash of unmarked Colt bolts inside the last ~year. I handled 2 CR6920s local that had zero markings on carriers/bolts. |
