What is ment by blue label colt

**my72jeep** · 01-15-2010 11:53 AM

I have owned a Colt Hbar Sporter for 15 years. I got it 2nd hand from a farmer. Untill I joined this form I have never heard of the term Blue Label Colt. What does it mean, how do you tell if mine is one?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Ok, interesting!

There's no end to Colt "pick apart" variations and oddities, it seems.

I forget to look at the newer labels, the only newish box I can quickly lay hands on is for a 2008 vintage 6920, went and sold off the 6940 and H-bar Elite. Nobody seems to have picked up any newer slang term for the post 2004 Colts except, maybe, "no ban". Plus now the front hinge pin is standard size as well as the FCG pins.

Colts aren't oddball anymore!

BTW have seen some Diemaco(Canadian icon

) parts on factory commercial Colts the past few years- mostly upper receivers.

Jmoore fascinating concept on the label table. Can you put serial numbers to colors though. Sure would be a great help. Thanks Jeff B

Diemaco was bought out by Colt and they're officially called Colt Canada icon

now.
