In the box with new Colt 6920
I just picked up a new Colt 6920 that I ordered off GunBroker. The box has a black label on it as opposed to the blue labels that were on my 6933 and 6520 boxes. The box indicates that it's a 2013 configuration, whatever that means. The lower receiver is marked M4 which is nice. Oddly, the front edges of the lower receiver are pretty squared off. On my other Colts (and all other AR15's) the front edges are rounded some.
It came with a Magpul magazine instead of a Colt branded magazine. I'm guessing that's a simple cost cutting measure. It didn't come with a detachable carry handle, but instead came with a Magpul rear sight. I knew this going in and think it's a smart move on Colt's part. Most people mount an optic and need a BUIS, so they'd rather pay for a configuration they're going to use instead of a carry handle that they're not going to use. The odd thing is that it didn't come with a sling like my other Colts. Even more odd, it did come with a push button QD sling swivel (in the sealed bag). Why would they include a QD sling swivel and not a sling? I can't even find a place to attach the thing. What am I missing here?
