Did you keep the boxes and plastic bags that your carbines came in? The plastic bags are referred to as "birth bags" by Colt collectors. You will find markings on the bag that will tell you exactly when your 6920s were "born"

My pleasure

ETA: The bag I pictured above was from my first 6920. After the AWB died in 2004, I searched high and low for a Colt that was "born" September 2004 to celebrate the sunset.
