    The new Colt I just received smells nothing like G96. The oil used just had that old fashioned, kind of dirty oil smell.

    Whatever they use on their lowers seems lacquered up. It also turns milkey white when you try to flush it out with slip degreaser.

    I received a new 6920 for a my duty rifle since the personally owned weapon policy went away and whatever was used was sticky and the trigger pull sucked until it got cleaned with either Rem Cleaner or carb cleaner. The one good thing about the rifle is that it was zeroed at the factory and there was no time spent getting it on target.

    This topic is about the brown preservative Colt puts on their guns. It does not have a sweet smell.

    Perhaps not, but this thread has an elongated feel. Wasn't the question answered early on?

    Ok well getting there then I suppose. Some changes were made after Colt Defense acquired Colt Manufacturing a few years ago so I do not know what Colt ships weapons with anymore but they did at one time use G96 as well as another variant I honestly can't remember. The "smell" I am very familiar with however and also enjoy it.

    Edit: Sent an email to someone I talked with several times but not sure if he's still there. If I hear anything relevant back will advise.

    I believe (not 100% certain) the stuff that does not smell pleasant is this.

    The last thirty 6920’s I received have been coated in it. It turns a little milky color when removing with 725.
