I picked up a new in box Colt LE6920 from Bachman Pawn & Gun in Dallas on Thursday. I pointed out a few things at the store, and was told these things were normal. As I get home and inspect/clean the firearm I notice quite a few more dings/screw ups. In the store I pretty much told myself: "well, its a Colt". But when I got home these things started to irritate me. The gun was new in box, I pulled it out of the inner cardboard sleeve.
A thread on the buffer tube has its finish wore down to bare metal, the buffer tube has a gouge down to bare metal, two areas on the picatinny rails are dinged up, the area inside the trigger guard area has chips on all 4 corners (it looks like these were done before anodizing), various other little nicks/dings.
I just wanted to vent, the gun shoots great... but man I wish it didn't have all of these flaws. :mad:
I'll add pictures when I get home tonight. I keep telling myself its a tool, but its not working! hah.
