New Colt 2018 SOCOM

[Slater]

Just picked this up today from my FFL. Looks quite nice, and serial number is CR018xxx. Looks like I'm in the "missing VFG and small rail panel" club with several other folks. I'll have to give Colt Customer Service a call Monday. On the flip side, it came with a total of seven of the large rail panels. Some people should avoid the vodka at work

Nice! Is it one of the cool GOV marked lowers?

[Slater]

Yes. I think most (all?) 2018's are so marked.

yeah, there were different batches of rifles with varying degrees of wrong packaging. This is the only Colt rilfe with a KAC rail, so a little outside of the routine. Colt will get you what you need.

If it came from Charlie's, email me, as we have a box of the right stuff to fix that.

The SOCOM I bought in 2012 didn't come with the small panels or VFG, it just came with the full panels nylon sling and 2 magazines.

From what I'm hearing, several people have had to call Colt customer service to get their missing VFG and short rail panel. Apparently Colt has been very responsive. As longshot2000 mentioned, there seems to have been some confusion in the packaging.

Tried and true, well done

Very nice and congratulations. Really like the way "Charlie's" quickly stepped up to the plate.

I bought mine a few months before Newtown and then everything went nuts, I called Colt on something else and they were hard to get ahold of.
Part of the problem was the box didn't have the contents listed. Oh well.
