Found this 6920 at a pawn shop for $675. Cant guahe when it was manufactured but I'm assuming with an LE prefix it might be right before the CZ acquisition. The magpul furniture and grey look pretty nice!Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Does Colt no longer "C" mark their bolt carriers? Dang nice rifle for what you paid - you did well! |
Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

The carrier does have a C but you have to really look close. I will do further looking into the detail. I can't tell if this was a faint marking or someone tried to add it later. But a C is there. |

Large FCG pins is pre 2009, small pins after 2009. Under the handguards near the FSB there should be the barrel mfg date “mm/yy” (usually close enough to the rifle mfg date) |

Every normal man, at times, must be tempted to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Colt OEM-1 IIRC the Euro spec Colts are .223, not 5.56. 223Rem is the downside of them, though it's effectively fine to run 55gr FMJ through them. Just don't run any cartridges that have bullets that get into the lands before exiting the case mouth. On the upside, the Euro spec Colts come with a nice rail and all the major components are serialized. |
