Switched Horses (Colts!)

[imarangemaster]

I recently obtained a late CR6920 "Colt Carbine", but it was really just a Colt "assembled gun" with laser engraved lower instead of roll marked. It was made up of sub-contracted parts: a Rosco barrel, Schmidt LPK ( [S] marked ), and some handguards that were not nearly as robust as the Colt handguards of 20 years ago, and even an unmarked BCG. I always felt like it was a "sort of" Colt.

Well, working part time at a local gun shop I grabbed a Colt 6400C. Match Target M4 Carbine. Date by serial number (and from the owner who sold it) is about 2002.

The 6400C has a Fixed lower receiver extension and pinned M4 stock, that I replaced with a Colt 4 position tube and M4 stock with Colt cage code, It has a stock block and Sparrow Dynamics non-pistol grip to make it Commiefornia legal. I also replaced the "horseshoe" BGG with a Colt M16 BCG.

I'm OK the large pin FCG and with the pinned muzzle brake. The factory side sling swivel is cool, it has Diemaco and splintered A Anchor Harvey upper forge codes, and Keyhole - 4 (Cerro Forge) carry handle forge codes. It is also roll-marked "Colt Defense" which is neat.
