    White Stuff on Colt 6920 Pistol Grip

    I have a few 6920s and have never experienced/seen this before. Grated, a few of my 6920s came outfitted with Magpul furniture...But I see in a lot of pics (Grant's site for example) the pistol grip has this white powdering looking stuff on it.

    What is it? Does it serve a purpose and does it come off?

    Had a customer at the local shop I work at have that same white powdery stuff on his M4. A gun-oil soaked rag and it came right off.

    Any idea what it is and what purpose it serves though? I've never seen it on any other A2 grips besides Colts...

    None.

    Rub some spit on it. It goes away.

    I believe that's tactical grippy power. My 6920 came with it as we'll, it's just rubs right off

    Since it wipes off easily, the white coloration on the grip appears to be residual "mold release spray" used to release injection molded plastic parts from the mold.

    Have fun
