Got 9 LE6933-EPR's and a dozen or so CR 6920s in over the past week. All of the feedramps looks this. Some a little better, some worse.

Nothing new. Does look a bit rough, but high res pics tend to do that.
Less polish/more hard grind.

And yet to many here, Colt is the standard by which all others are measured.
I am but a wretched poor, but I can say there is no part of my lowly S&W M&P Sport II that has machining that looks anything like that. |

And they do feed reliably. Unfortunately it's a human performed function and, well, many humans are unskilled. |

Anyone know at what point in the process this is done? On assembly, after initial test fire? It sure seems in today’s day and age this could be accomplished with machining. I could see a little hand blending where the barrel extension meets the receiver but this looks like it’s all in the extension. |

Its like hand porting intake tracks on a engine. Your sport 2 doesnt have it because your sport 2 is a cheap gun. |

I would assume that it's done prior to fitting the bbl, same as shown in THIS vid by DD. It'd be a bitch to attempt when mated to a receiver. |

What alot of the kiddies dont understand is how that statement came to be. Back when the AWB didn't get signed by Bush a ton of new manufacturers came onto the market. Being that colt and lmt were used by the military and had to meet standards all of the new civilian ARs were compared against them as a standard. We have come a long was since then. A Colt 6920 was a $700 - $800 gun sold at Walmart with LEO markings. A lot of people bought them (including me) but their are those that profess their superiority today just to inflate the prices and make money from those that haven't been around long enough to know. Btw.. I consider colt to be a government entity. They hold hands with the ATF and it's why they put sear blocks in their lowers when others didn't because they assumed law abiding citizens that bought their products would commit crimes. They like Ruger, are on my shit list because of that kinda stuff. |

Thats what gives it that smooth feeding In all seriousness all mine have that on the feed ramps, some are less noticeable than others. Never had an issue. People freak out over it. I consider it normal.

My 6920 purchased last October. Out of the box and unfired (except factory test rounds) had some obvious Dremel touches on the feed ramps. I noticed the fresh exposed metal right away and being a newb was needlessly concerned. The rifle feeds everything I put through it and has been 100% for 850 rounds.

This is something that Colt has always done afaik.
Sometimes they’re smooth, sometimes rough. I would imagine that it’s just a difference in tool condition. Here’s an older 6920 upper, C stamped receiver and barrel:  And here’s a 16” carbine BCM 6920 clone:

Two NIB 6920's that are about 7 to 10 years old.
" tuned" but not that bad. Enough to tell but not ugly. Guess they shoot, they are safe queens with the boxes stored in the attic . Have others that do shoot, NOT Colt and I would and do rely on to save my life or win 3 gun. Colts are for collecting. |

Wow, I guess you’re really proud of colt because it’s not a “no name” commodity parts gun. I’m happy for you. How many buddies of yours do you make it a high priority discussion point to explain that “AR” doesn’t stand for “assault rifle”? I’m guessing your a big time “I RUN this _______ on all my guns, I trust it with my life, rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 GRUNTSTYLE” dude I’m not in junior high either, so I don’t do show and tell anymore. And I sure as shit don’t own an M&P 15. |

Was going to comment I have the same marks on some of of my Colt barrel extension ramps. No feeding issues at all & consider this a factory reliability enhancement.
Doesn't it 'look pretty'? Does it enhance the feeding reliability? I would say, yes. |

The feedramps should just be machined to the profile they need to be and then phosphate coated. This is just random grinding for no reason. It isn't polishing anything, it isn't "blending" anything. Just dumb. |

I have more than one Colt AR with rough looking feed ramps. All of them feed perfectly.
I used to have a Delton with perfect feed ramps. It would fail to feed occasionally. Not everything can be discerned by looks. |
