Colt OEM1 question

[clarkz71]

Yeah, I was/am pretty miffed. I had heard complaints about them before, ie shipping/stock issues and some
big suppressor snafu a while back, but gave them a chance. Should have listened...

Same here with Arms Unlimited and their shipping.

I ordered a M300C Scout on May 31 and received a "Shipped" e-mail & Tracking#

Didn't actually ship until June 3rd

Sorry for getting off topic OP

On topic, I notices the Expanse parting out "sale"

So I called Colt who ran the serial #. They confirmed it left factory as OEM 1. They also confirmed exactly what was mentioned above, they were short on standard selectors and four position receiver extensions. So, they installed the factory ambi safety and 6 position receiver extension. Too easy...

Pretty cool. Im happy.

Good deal. 👍 Glad someone didn't pull the "switcheroo" and switch out LPK

That happens from time-to-time, you lucked out. Happened to me recently with LMT - purchased an MWSE (chrome-lined base model) and it arrived with a stainless match 5R barrel. Called LMT about it and they were running short on CL's, so they put a 5R in it instead.

This guy also found an OEM Colt with the 6 position RE.

I checked that out, thank you. Posted there too

I have 4 six position REs from Specialized Armament. The one on the right is listed as Colt Part number SP69072 on Specialized Armament's website. The one on the left is a standard four position Colt RE. Except for the different holes, they do look a lot alike. They are also listed on Gunbroker by scottryan. I have no idea for sure what the deal is but those are both very reputable sources for Colt parts.

Some Colt 6920s in the upper 400000 serial number range have been coming with the six position MK18 tubes.

I know of a guy that is local that has one and the tube is still factory staked.

Makes sense. Mine is in the top upper 4000000

Ordered an OEM 1 complete lower off gbroker. (Excluding the trigger guard and stock) Supposedly was a take off. It came with an S marked ambi safety and a six position reciever extension.

The RE and castle nut are staked like my other colts.

Does this sound right? An ambi and 6 position on a 6920 oem?

Thanks

We just received 30 in. They all have 4 position RE and none ambi selector.

Apparently, the R0977 comes with a 6 position RE. Other than that, no 6920 is supposed to come with that RE.
