[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Fence?

Posted: 3/22/2005 12:41:11 PM EDT

Does the "fence" on the right side of the lower, around the magazine release, add any real strength at all? I have a chance to pick up my choice of preban Colts - one made in 1991 without the fence, and one made in the early part of 1994 with the fence. Both are near new, and that is the only difference I can see. Slabside or not? Which would you pick? Thanks

The fence is not for strength - it's to prevent accidental activation of the magazine release.

That's it? What is your preference of the two?

Thanks, I think I will take'm both - it seems, especially in this day and age, that you can't have too many........

I prefer the fence. Why not, as it's an upgrade?

Though if you wanted to build replica's of some early model M16s/XM177s then you'd need the lower w/o the fence.
