I should have taken a better look the pic, it does look to be injection molded. According to the TDP, MIM is allowable for two parts only, the bolt catch and the magazine catch bar (not the threaded rod). So, it could still be a legit Colt part. I knew that there was an allowance for a select few MIM components, just couldn't recall what/where. I am not sold on MIM anywhere when it comes to ARs personally, but to each their own.
