A Colt CR6960 CCU followed me home from my local gun shop yesterday (4/04/2022).
They are not the same as the original Talo Distributors LE6960-CCU 2016, the original had the standard Centurion Arms M-LOK handguards with more vent holes and quick detachable sling mounts, Magpul SL grip and Magpul SL stock.
Currently they have a downgraded version which have the Centurion Arms OEM handguards with less vent holes and no QD sling mounts, new type A2 grips that are shinny (not the old matte A2 grips years ago) and a M4 waffle stock marked cage code 4U486 P&S Products.
I took off the handguard to look at the barrel markings and they're not the same of years ago, no more month and year date marks, the chamber area have a straight line (not letter I) and it is still marked at the top front of the barrel "13629 M P 5.56 NATO 1/7".
The front of the upper receiver above the gas tube hole have no M4 mark, the upper receiver have no cage code only the keyhole forge (Cerro Forge) and it have M4 feed ramps cuts.
Markings on the bolt carrier is a small letter "C" and no marks at all on the bolt, I stripped all the lube and used a magnifying glass and nothing, no marks at all like in last year's batches that had very light markings (MPC).
The lower receiver is marked Carbine, Cal. 5.56 MM and CR prefix serial number, QR code at the left magwell, Colt Defense and selector stops.
Selector are the shorter lever (like older selector types) with a tick mark on the right side.
The hammer have a rounder top corner and marked G 8. Typical mil trigger pull OK but not great.
The fit of the upper half to the lower half is snug, very little movement that I could feel.
I'm going to be changing the handguard with my extra higher model Centurion Arms standard 13.5" handguard (SKU: ML1509), the grip with B5 Systems more upright angle grip and the buttstock with B5 Systems BRAVO SOPMOD which is my go to setup on my other Colt 6920 M4 carbine.
This would just be my practice and target gun, I have other Colt carbines of different barrel profiles, I have another midlength barrel but medium contour 16" and a 20" rifle with a Colt A4 conversion kit upper half.
My only future upgrades would be a Geissele 3 gun trigger.
