HI:

Black rifle disease got me  (again).  Picked up  my first Colt, a  16" Match Target Lightweight.  My first AR is a Bushmaster 20"HBR and while it is a nice shooter, it is heavy.  The colt is so light it seems like a third the weight.  Anyway, I was stripping the Colt and the bolt is stamped MPGC.  What does this mean?  Also the barrel and BCG have a C stamped on them, I assume this means they are chrome plated.  Is this correct? Thanks

The Match Target lightweight was my first AR. Sadly I was a idiot and sold it for a ban free Bushmaster . Wish I still had it as they are somewhat rare.
