Has any one seen a keyhole (Cerro) + CAGE code Colt upper? I have a few of the square marked (BAFE) but have come across one with what might be a laser etched cage code and a keyhole (Cerro) forge marking. No gray dry film lube inside and the CAGE code looks laser etched to me, not roll mark or dot matrix. Attached File |

Yes, a handful. Roll marked CAGE though. Edit: You stated that yours is roll marked and then say it appears to be laser etched?

My apologies. Yes, it looks laser etched but could be mistaken. Pic added and correction added in OP. Gotcha. Assuming that is roll marked but I may be way off base. Sometimes difficult to tell from a pic vs having it in hand. |
