Here's my info:
LGC 03500x M4 ramps & extension. Ramps on upper are NOT anodized. Barrel has stamping near the front sight base that reads "06/05"...which I interpret to be June, 2005. Cerro Forge Key Hole marked upper. No "C" marking on upper receiver. Has black-colored Colt ejection port cover spring. MPC marked bolt, M16 carrier. H-buffer. Castle nut is large, and is STAKED to the receiver extention plate. Extractor does have an insert, can't remember what color though... |

Is this right? LGC 03500X black finish, Cerro Forge Key Hole marked upper, M4 receviver extention/nut & buttstock, mag fenced lower, factory front push pin, large trigger pins, M16 bolt carrier, bolt marked MPC, black extractor buffer with gold spring?, roll marked COLT DEFENSE, no pinned sear block, crush washer for flash, LEO roll markings, H buffer, large reinforced lower receiver ring for the extention, M4 feed ramps, receiver ramp bare, black ejection port spring, barrel dated 06/05 |

I'm unclear on which model(s) you want to include. Your current list seems to include all of these different models. Is that your intent?
Gov't Carbine (R6520) Serial Prefix - GC Discontinued in 1994 Gov't Carbine (AR6520) Serial Prefix - LGC Still in Production Colt Carbine (R6521) Serial Prefix - CC Discontinued in 1988 Gov't Model (R6550) Serial Prefix - GS Discontinued in ? Not a Carbine |
|
6520's only, for this thread any how. If there are any non 6520's in the data base let me know. |
|
|
|
Actually I would rank the 6721 lower first and the 6520 lower second but I'm right there with ya |
||
|
Can you provide a checklist of the specific information you're looking for? I have two 6520s, one with the upper swapped out for a flattop, and would be happy to check the various markings and such if somebody can tell me exactly what I'm supposed to be looking for.
|
|
I had 5 LGC 6520s in the 34k range. All were received NIB. Finish ranged from perfect to some with ugly blotches, pits,bumps and spots. I was shocked to see some of these rifles when we unboxed them. I had no idea they would ship poorly finished rifles.
All had M16 carriers. All had aluminum bridge in place of sear block All dated 04/05 Sorry I can't give more detailed info, I don't have any of the rifles anymore. |

Ekie,
My GC is in the 0054XX range. A2 large pin lower and upper. CM on the upper. Small FC pins. No sear block. |

Mine, purchased in the spring of last year ( 05 ):

LGC 0342XX COLT DEFENSE HARTFORD, CONN. ------U.S.A.------- right side: RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT/EXPORT USE ONLY A2 upper, 16 inch pencil barrel with 5.56 NATO 1/7 twist stamping, CAR-15 handguards and bayonet lug, standard A2 non vented FH Contractor forge marking is a capital "C" with an odd lopsided gemoetric figure, not the Cerro mark, that's for sure M4 feed ramps Current Standard M4, 4 position stock with the current style crenelated castle nut |

OK, added more. Have a few questions on these:
I would have specific questions if I knew what serial number range yours are.
I added yours to read like this: GC 0054XX CM upper forge code, old style receviver extention nut/receiver extention/buttstock, mag fenced lower, big pivot pin, small trigger pins, SP1 bolt carrier, blue extractor buffer, roll marked COLT'S FIREARMS DIVISION, no sear block Is that correct? Have a few question, was hoping you could go through it and check the following: M4 ramps? front of receiver marked M4, 4, or nothing? Barrel marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7? No marking on the barrel extention (need a flash light to check)? Has a two digit code under the guards behind the FSB like this:
I added yours like this, might check and see if that is correct: GC 0172XX CMB upper forge code, old style receviver extention nut/receiver extention/buttstock, mag fenced lower, small pivot pin hole, weep hole drilled, large trigger pins, SPORTER bolt carrier, blue extractor buffer, roll marked COLT'S MFG CO. INC., sear block pinned in right side, M4 feed ramps Also have a few questions about yours: M4 ramps? front of receiver marked M4, 4, or nothing? Barrel marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7? No marking on the barrel extention (need a flash light to check)? Has a two digit code under the guards behind the FSB like this: Has an O stamped like this: |

I have a Colt Gov't Carbine, I think I purchased it new in the early 90's
Its serial number is GC02091X. On the front sight is says 609, on the barrel it says 2/95 under the handguars and it is stamped C MP556NATO 1/7 It has a pinned sear block that says COLT, 2 position plastic CAR stock, extractor has a blue insert. Don't see any markings on Upper Reciever, Bolt or carrier. Not sure if the front pivot hole is large or small, visually they look to be the same size, but haven't taken a micrometer to it or anything like that. *Edit* I just took front pivot pin out and it will go into rear so I assume it is a small hole upper reciever. |
|
Got it added in, and yes it is a small pin front pivot pin, thanks. |
|
|
Updated.
GC0068XX does not have M4 feed ramps, and GC 02091X does. That is a huge gap, if you have one inbetween can you check yours? |
|
added yours to read like this:
GC 0054XX CM upper forge code, old style receviver extention nut/receiver extention/buttstock, mag fenced lower, big pivot pin, small trigger pins, SP1 bolt carrier nope m-16, blue extractor buffer, roll marked COLT'S FIREARMS DIVISION, no sear block Is that correct? Have a few question, was hoping you could go through it and check the following: M4 ramps? Yes front of receiver marked M4, 4, or nothing? Nothing Barrel marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7? Yes No marking on the barrel extention (need a flash light to check)? Has a faint "4" at 3:30 Has a two digit code under the guards behind the FSB like this: Has a "2" at the front and the "0" for chromed lined at the nut. |

Good stuff, thanks. Interesting that yours has M4 ramps and Bravo's does not. Maybe Colt ran the serial numbers out of order, or just used parts available. If we get more data will get a better picture of the situation. Regarding bolt carriers, there were three common carriers used in Colt's semiauto line the last 40 years. What I refer to in these data bases as the SP1, the SPORTER and the M16. The SP1 has an exposed firing pin, and the back bottom part that trips the auto sear is cut off. The SPORTER carrier is what is more commonly refered to as a "half round", and the M16 is the full auto part. Have not heard of a M16 carrier in a 1980's or 1990's factory original Colt semiautomatic. So, is your an odd ball, or was my terminology unclear? |
|
|
Elkie,
I know the difference. I am a Colt-a-holic like yourself. Yes M-16 carrier. Werid I didn't know that was unusual, but then again Colt always has been. |
|
OK, will edit the data base. Thanks again for going through it. And yes that is weird, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility. There is a M16 carrier in a 6551 from about the same time frame in that data base. And all mine have them, but I put them there. |
|
|
Anytime.
And thanks for all the time and effort you put into this. I for one, find it very useful! |
|
They are just raw data for now, at some point it will be some good stuff. Can we get some others to check for M4 feed ramps? |
|
|
Alright, here's the only things I know about mine. I bought two at the same time last year, but changed the A2 upper out for a flattop so I can't tell you the markings on that one.
The A2 serial # is LGC 03498X The serial # for the one that's now a flattop is LGC 03496X Both had the M4 feedramps when stock. I see virtually no markings on the A2 upper. There is a keyhole near the rear sight, and nothing else the is visible from the outside. Both lowers are marked AR-15 A2 GOV'T CARBINE CAL. 225 SER LGC XXXXXX Between the safety and the bolt stop is COLT DEFENSE HARTFORD. CONN -----USA------ The opposite side has RESTRICTED MILITARY/GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT/EXPORT USE ONLY Neither front sight appears to be marked at all. |
|
Updated, looking for more info on markings above the gas tube on the upper, no marking, 4, or M4.
|
|
I may have missed somthing previously, but why in the world would anyone want to make a list of private citizens arms?
|
|
I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you. |
