Got this in my email today. They don't come right out and say it, but it sounds like these may be full milspec barrels and bolts. Kind of sucks that they pinned the flash hider, but that's easy enough to remedy. Not such a bad deal either, considering the roll mark and the included rails and sights.

They have these from time to time, very good buy IMO.

I think it could be. It sounds like the barrel is definitely real, and hopefully the BCG is, too. I would love to get one in hand and inspect all the markings but I've got too many as it is. By the time I wear them all out they'll probably have directed energy weapons or something.

A friend of mine has one of these, and comparing it to an m4a1 at work, they look like, and are marked the same as an issue rifle. Except for mine that has a diemaco upper receiver.

Is it the C stamp on the carrier and extractor, or the newer dot matrix cage code markings?

IIRC it had the C markings on the carrier.

I can’t help but notice the serial number prefix in the pictures is “CR” which as I understand it stands for “civilian rifle”

Idk what if any difference this makes. It’s not the LE prefix though

There seems to be a lot of inconsistency, as others have reported. I have a CR prefix rifle or two, and the boxes were advertised as LExxxx models, and purchased theough a LE distributor. The guts of them match the standards of quality and markings that I would expect on a .mil rifle with the exception of sear blocks and semi triggers.

I’ve read here about CRs not living up, but in my small sample they seem fine. My CR (or two) were bought post-COVID.

Edit: also have a buddy that bought a CR6920 last year. It works, and is assembled and marked correctly.
