@usgeneral25 I don't believe that is a Colt lower receiver. The application of markings is atrocious...especially the randomness of the selector position markings.
There are details of the lower that are off as well. The take down pin detent/detent channel on left side is not to spec.
The Colt firearms in these photos belong to a friend of mine and fellow collector. You get a look at various finishes/camouflage patterns used by Colt over the years.
Two identical boxes, two identical labels...yet two different carbines. In the next couple of days, I will post a video discussing the two different CR6920-EC carbines that have been available from Colt this year.
Spent part of my lunch break today at my bench cleaning and organizing a bit. Here is a photo of some part marking variations on some loose Colt hammers in my used parts box.
My friend Alex and I have our displays set up at the 45th annual Colt Collectors Association show at the Embassy Suites in San Marcos,TX. If you are nearby, come by and see some one of a kind and out of production Colt items.
My friend Alex and I will be displaying at the annual Colt Collectors Association show in San Marcos, TX. October 3 - 6, 2024. If you want to take a walk through the history of Samuel Colt and the history of Colt's Manufacturing Company, this is the event to visit.
Collectors from all over the world travel to one place to present one of a kind displays of both rare, antique, and modern Colt firearm designs and collectibles.
Come see us if you are in the area. Alex and I focus on historical displays of various Colt AR rifle/carbine designs.
You could see anything from an early XM16E1 prototype, Vietnam XM177E2 limited editions, Advanced Combat Rifle program (ACR) prototypes up to recently retired designs such as the LE901 rifle in .308 WIN.
A process that used to take a year or longer is now only a few days.
So, if you live in a free state and have been contemplating an NFA purchase through a Silencer Shop kiosk, I highly recommend it.
I recently used a Silencer Shop kiosk to make my first NFA purchase. I was amazed at what a smooth, quick transaction it was. The Silencer Shop kiosk was located in my local FFL/SOT and only required two visits that were about 10 minutes each.
The steps to use the kiosk were well laid out and very simple.
The simplicity and ease of transaction motivated me to finally get one of the most sought after items for my research collection...a Colt LE6945CQB carbine.
