I picked up a new Colt Federal Patrol Rifle from my FFL this morning. I have not fired yet, but a cursory glance over the gun looks great. The gun comes standard with a Magpul CTR Stock, A2 grip, A2 flash hider, 4 position RE, castle nut staking looks excellent! The upper receiver is not marked with either a “C” or cage code. The gun comes with Gen 2 Magpul PRO BUIS, which are great sights. Barrel has a cage code. Lower parts appear to be Schmid Tool as marked with an “S”. The inside of the upper has the dry film lubricant. The gun also features the Geissele Mk4 rail. I believe the Mk16 to be objectively superior, but the Mk4 is a sexy rail I have always thought looked good. The lower on this particular rifle is marked M4 Carbine which I believe Colt is doing to all new guns as of now. Overall, I’m extremely pleased and am looking forward to adding some flavor of Aimpoint, sling, and probably a B5 grip.
