Yeah, well, the parts in the box are absolutely flawless. So if his statement is true, this thread is literally about nothing. A picture of the actual rifle in question is the only possible thing that could make it about something.The OP's second (and last) post in this thread.

No one that puts out as many guns as Colt does and completes the testing that they do. In order to do this, guns are stacked on top of one another in large qty (as pictured).
To be honest, the fact that SOME Colt's have no marks on them is a testament to the quality and hardness of the anodizing!
Colt ONLY knows how to make guns one way. Either accept it or don't, but realize that comparing them to much smaller AR manufacturers that has never held a large contract for the Military is just a waste of time.

Well put. And the last line is signature line material. IfNo one that puts out as many guns as Colt does and completes the testing that they do. In order to do this, guns are stacked on top of one another in large qty (as pictured).

I picked up a NIB Colt 6920 yesterday. The finish is pretty good except for a couple of dings on the narrow/sharp edges of the picatinny rails, one thread on the buffer tube that the castle nut was tightened over lost its finish and is showing bare metal, there are a few tiny dings elsewhere. But everything else is solid as a rock. Do i wish the finish was better? Yes, but oh well... The thing shoots great. This damn Colt is helping me get over my OCD towards gun finishes, I knew what I was getting into by getting a Colt.
Also, the secondary latch on the Rogers SuperStock is CHEAP!!!!!! My dad actually bent the plastic, doh!

I dumped mine for a standard M4 stock. I saw no advantage, that lock came open when the guy at the range next to me farted.

Colt builds damn good AR's - for many, many years they were the absolute Gold standard- everyone knew who #1 was; the only thing open for discussion was who was #2
Only recently have other players like Daniel Defense and BCM come into the equation- what is telling is that you can ask Marty Daniels or Paul at BCM and both of them will tell you how good Colt carbines are
They have built a lot of good guns for a very long time- I have used Colt carbines in combat and they did the job I asked of it- I now use DD rifles on a regular basis as many of you know but I will always have a soft spot for Colt
Because of this I personally can overlook a few dings in the finish- because I know you can count on a Colt when you need it most
