    Mine has the same white spot. Probably just some kind of factory mark signifying that I was inspected or something.

    The delta ring spring on the Colt's that I've handled have slightly less tension than the springs on other rifles I've handled. The handguards may seem like they have more "play," but I don't see this as an issue... on my DD, the spring had so much tension that I had to use a tool to pull the delta ring down far enough to remove the handguards, but I didn't need them on my Colt. Even then, there's no way those handguards are coming out on their own.

    Not an issue as far as I'm concerned.

    I've noticed that about Colt delta rings, too. The spring tension does seem to be relatively light, compared to a couple others I've R&R'd handguards on. I was thinking it must have been a fluke, but if others make the same observation, I guess there's something to it.
