| why does colt only stamp dates into some barrels and not others. i purchased a nib 6520 saturday and there is no date stamped on the barrel. the barrel is marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 by the flash hider. the only mark under the hand guards is a G under the gass tube.(what does that G mean). my 6450 also has no date stamp but my 6920 does. i called colt just to try and get an idea of when the gun was built i gave the kind lady on the phone the serial number and was told it was a government issue firearm so unfortunately they couldnt give me a build date. i asked her about there not being a date and she told me they were only dating the m4 profile barrels but didnt say why. i purchased the 6520 from gallery of guns and it has a serial in the LGC046XXX range ang going by the serial numbers of the guns on gunbroker i think mine is fairly recent production. i am just trying to get further educated on why things are the way they are. also is all colt barrels chrome lined. thanks for any and all help you can provide. |
