Did Brownell's really sell me a legit Milspec/OEM Colt part?
I needed a bolt carrier so I bought a "Colt" carrier from Brownells (PN 160-000-371WB. To date, I've used dozens of Colt BCG's either harvested from factory guns/uppers or from scottyryan. This one looks different to me.
Note that:
- Park finish is darker and rougher than 2 relatively new carriers (both sub 250 rounds of use) that I know for certain are factory Colt
- No "C" stamping on the left side as I've seen on every Colt carrier I have.
I realize we're getting into minutiae here, but I like to be sure I'm getting what I paid for and not getting the old bait and switch of either a non-Colt or a pseudo-Colt Expanse type product or anything other than what I would be pulling out of a factory M4 or 6920. I'm wondering what the consensus is of this being a Colt part
I will also note that earlier this year, I purchased a Colt upper and noted some of the work on it was a little sloppier than what I'm used to seeing. From one pic I still have of the upper, you can see the overspray from the top rail "T" markings.
