Is Colt still putting Blue Labels on 6 series AR boxes?

[geezerbutler]

I have purchased a few 6920's this year all from different FFl's.

The most recent one was missing the blue label and only had a bar code label identifying it as a LE6920 and listing the serail #.

I emailed the FFl that provided this one and he said that "Colt isn't putting blue labels on their boxes anymore".

Since when I wonder?

The other 6920's I received had the blue label and according to the date stamp on the barrel under the hanguards were made in 2007.

I also have a Colt 6933 SBR at my FFL SOT that was transferred on a form 3 to him from the same dealer the 6920 came from and it's box is devoid of the blue label as well.

I checked the 6920 and it had a Diemaco bolt carrier with the Stylized "D" on it.

The 6933 had a Colt carrier with the "C" on it.

Can anyone shed any light on this blue label conundrum?

The conundrum is it ain't no big ting bra. I have 12 New recent Colt's. 4 just have the white labels. Must be the way the trades are blowin' in Hartford town. It's a cyclic event.

I had been losing sleep over the whole thing... until your post that is

I'm going keep buying them no matter what, just thought someone out there would have that definitive answer on the label thing.

We'll see.

The last few 6920s I've seen had a dark blue label on the box.

FYI

I purchased my 6920 in January 2008 ...I just checked the box and there is a Blue Label

Just got my 6920 from Clyde, yes cardboard box with dark blue label.

Checked the date stamp on the barrel, and it says 05/07. Upper receiver is Diemaco.
