The Colt will have the extended and enlarged feed ramps and M4 marked upper receiver, just like the M4 specs call for.  The upper receiver will be the milspec one, same as the military contracts.  I believe the civilian Colt M4 uppers are 16" chrome lined 1X9.  At one time Colt was selling the milspec 14.5" chrome lined 1X7, I dont know if they are anymore or not.  The Colt has a different front sight height so you should only use the Colt removable carry handle to get the proper zeroing.  I believe this is milspec also.

Beyond that they are pretty comparable as far as quality.
