On Black Friday I scored a LE6920 OEM-2 for $663. Fantastic price, finally opened the box tonight and was surprised the lower is marked “M4 Carbine.” I thought CZ was marking everything “Carbine” now. Also has selector stops… Attached File |

This is correct and one of the selling points to buying the OEM model over the standard. That and you don't have to waste money on takeoff furniture that might end up in your spare parts box anyway. |

My OEM-1 is from 2022 but AFAIK this hasn't changed: OEM rifles should be laser engraved, marked "M4 Carbine," and have a "CR" serial number. |

On top of that CZ parent changed its name from CZ Group to ColtCZ Group. Yes, Colt in front of CZ name. Also, Colt President get a seat in the parent company Board. |

I got my Colt 6920 in ‘22 and was impressed with the quality of the finish. Was not expecting it to be this nice. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |
