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…

Maybe new old stock?  What's the manufacture date?

Pretty sure that the OEM rifles stayed in the “LE” series and kept the M4 markings where the 6920 (and others) went to the “CR” series and got the CARBINE.

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.

That and btw, "CZ" isn't doing anything.

Seeing as they’re keeping the Bankruptcy Pony afloat…I think his statement was valid.

He said... "I thought CZ was marking everything"

CZ owns Colt but they aren't making Colts or making any of the decisions on how Colts are made. Colt is still ran by the same people who ran is before CZ acquired them and laser engraving started before the acquisition as well so no, it was not a valid statement IMO

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.

This is correct. 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.
