After having a number of mag catches in the shop, I’ve found that the thread length and shank varies some from brand to brand and batch to batch. I usually just try one of the other ones in the parts bins and find one that will thread in deep enough yet doesn’t protrude through the button. Seems to work good for me. Hope you get it sorted out friend.

Did you purchase this from a local gun shop or online and have it transferred to a FFL?
If the former, the LGS might be able to troubleshoot and fix quicker than going though Colt.
It could be an out of spec mag release, or the lower is out of spec. A mag release is a 5 minute job, if it's an out of spec lower it would/should go back to Colt.

Not knocking on you but curious if you did a thorough inspection at the gun store BEFORE you decided to buy it, paid for it and left?This experience has soured me on Colt, somewhat.
Previously I was what you would consider a devoted fan; I believed they were the standard and the safest choice for those of limited means, out-of-the-box. I own more than a few of them.
I guess I should have listened to their critics, much more seriously.
I actually made 3 trips to my local gun store before finally deciding to purchase my 6721. Gave it a quick look over the first trip - came home and thought about it for a few days. Went back and actually opened the action and dry fired it a couple of times the second trip. Pretty much field stripped it the 3rd trip before counting out the money.
Guys at gun store gave me no grief about 'inspecting' everything before I decided to purchase.
As a general rule I refuse to buy guns online and have them shipped to my dealer because I can't inspect them before actually shelling out the money. You got to read the fine print very carefully so you know exactly what the terms of any inspection and return process they have are.
Not saying I have never broke that rule but if I have a choice between local and online purchasing I am willing to pay a little more to be able to see and handle the gun locally before making a purchase decision.

Keep us posted on how long it takes from the time you contact Colt until you receive a good carbine. If Colt CS is exceptional or less than stellar, please share that with us too.

It’s a valid point. And no offense taken.Not knocking on you but curious if you did a thorough inspection at the gun store BEFORE you decided to buy it, paid for it and left?

I bought it from a vendor in Illinois that I’ve bought from before without issue. Gunbroker purchase.
But yeah, “stock photos.” Because of my work/travel schedule I sometimes buy things and salt them away until some comp time or vacation makes a range trip, possible.
Also, though I’ve long known that Colt pistols need to be inspected in-person prior to purchase, I believed Colt carbines were gtg/safe.
Lesson learned, as you pointed out.

Same problem here. Working every day currently because there is LOTS of work to do.
Currently have a new rifle, 2 carbines, and 2 pistols that have not been shot yet.
When I do get a break - I plan to have some fun!
Wish you luck with getting this all resolved sir.
