Picking mine up on Friday! :D

I have a Colt 6920 upper for it already.....:cool:

Are you're M4 feed ramps left in the white or are they annodized?

[TOrrock]

Well, I couldn't wait....just picked mine up tonight.

It's a Blue Lable, US rifle.

Serial # is LGC038XXX

I've already put the 6920 upper on it, color matches perfectly.

I decided to get the rifle instead of replacing the busted camera........

Pics will have to wait. Looks just like Skintop's just without the "Made in Canada".....

Actually it looks like a 6920 now that I put that upper on it.....:D

I wonder what the stepdown in the buffer tube is for? I saw the same thing on a S&W or a Olympic, I cant remember wich one last week at a gunshow. It was a new dealer gun. I remember it because I wondered what the heck it was for. Wow made in Canada. For years every part had to have a C on it and now I just cant get used to a D.
