Writing in another post i remembered this and i thought to ask you about it. While choosing my new ar in a lgs in Italy a few weeks ago, i noticed one of the new cr6921 had a yellow blob of paint (maybe half an inch of diameter) just under the barrel, I tried to eipe it out thinking it was some kind of preservative but it was paint!
How is that? |

QC marking denoting that the gas port has been drilled/checked at the factory.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ssimo: What has it to do with yellow paint? Just an easily identifiable visual confirmation. Just like the white paint dots signifying proof testing of bolts. |

Not testing, confirmation that the process was completed. Human performed step and not all get marked. (Inspiring, no?)  |

They do all get checked/marked...should be anyway. Checked, but not marked. Or so I was told. I had a 6921 barrel w/o the marking in 2017 (?). Colt CS told me it was "a human performed task, some are missed, but are inspected" . Same with HPT paint dot on bolts. ETA: "Should be"...I see it now.
