I am trying to learn the difference between the Colt 6450 and 6430 9mm carbines. From reading info on the net, they seem to be about the same. The one I'm looking at has the following markings:
Lower receiver on mag well: on top is the Colt pony logo and the stylized "Colt" word logo; under that is "SPORTER LIGHTWEIGHT" and under that is "CAL. 9MM - NATO"
Lower receiver above trigger has the four line address all in capitals: Colt's Firearms Division, Colt Industries, Hartford, Conn., U.S.A.
Serial number: ML 0020XX (All databases seem to say it should have a TA prefix, but this one and the 6430 shown at the chameleonweaponry site have ML prefixies)
No bayonet lug
4 position collapsible stock
Any ideas on which model it is?
Any ideas on whether it is preban or post ban?
Thanks!
Kevin
