Interesting Colt QC problems.

[VIP3R 237]

We had a customer bring in a Colt 6920 still in the box that he purchased from Walmart earlier today that he wants us to hydro dip and cerakote.

As I was detail stripping everything I happened to notice that the end plate was on backwards, as in the bump was on the outside of the receiver. No big deal as it is an easy fix. So i continue on disassembling the rifle i notice the front take down pin is loose and can rotate side to side. I carefully remove the pin and sure enough there is no detent at all, just the spring. I happen to have a parts bin full of them so no worries.

Now I am by no way a Colt hater, I have 2 6920's at home in my safe that I completely trust. I also understand that the industry has seen an incredible demand and Colt puts out more rifles than most. I am just a little surprised that this rifle slipped past their QC department.

I guess the morale of the story is inspect everything before you buy it, no matter what logo is stamped on the side.
