    In this case I would contact Colt and or the dealer. there have been other cases where dealers have swapped out and sold off other components to make more money.

    Possibly. Have seen this before. Would like to see more pics before passing judgement.

    Here Are The Pics you guys asked for. I am very worried about the BCG and Front Sight Base. The Front Sight Base is Marked <B>1 and the BCG is Marked MP and a C on the Side with a white dot on the side also.

    I have Included pics of Everything You Guys Asked For.

    The Problem is I am in Canada and Here we get priced gouged. A regular 6920 goes for $1500 + here. Irunguns is a U.S Seller and now the opened a store in Canada and there prices are very close to U.S prices. I tried contacting them and got no reply. I called Colt U.S and they said they cannot help me.

    Anyone know if I can get a F marked FSB from BCM or something and Install it on my rifle? I was told trying to re taper pin your barrel for a new FSB will ruin it.

    What is that mark on the bolt?

    You are good. The HG'S are just jacked up. Contact Colt.

    Yep, that's a legit Colt AR15A4 with dicked up handguards. Bolt and BCG are genuine Colt, too. No worries.

    Personally, the gouge on the handguards wouldn't bother me, but if it drives you nuts, Colt will fix you up with a new set.

    Don't worry about the FSB not being 'F' marked. It will zero properly

    Just a dab of white paint. Common on Colt bolts in my experience.

    You are golden. Spend the $25 or whatever Canadians use for money and buy a new set of hand guards or replace with a Magpul set if it bugs you.

    Maybe B marked for metric system?

    Like someone else said, I'd personally replace the hand guards anyway. When you spke to Colt earlier did you mention them?
