    Its normal.

    The castings on my 6921, especially around the front sight post, looks cruder that what I did in my high school metal working class.

    You've still got the most reliable Tier-1 AR available.

    Colt 6920

    Thanks for all the advice . It doesn't hurt the function of the rifle . I was just disappointed when I saw it . I had to wait 3 months to get it . I'm going to take it out this weekend to break it in . Thanks again , Tom

    My offer of $50 for it stands. It's probably a chinese knock off.

    And a car is a multi-thousand dollar purchase.

    Not the same as a car. If the M4 was in the same boat, they would use premium flaked paint like they do on pretty cars and the inverse would be the same for the car, you could get a BMW in parkerized.

    Just because some of you guys don't seem to care about fit and finish issues such as this, does NOT mean it's excuseable. I'm a big Colt fan, but their fit and finish sucks some of the time, and they could EASILY get it right. They just don't care, and don't want to.
    What sucks is that you see all the DPMS and RRA's all perfectly finished, and then they wonder why Colt refuses to get it right.
    When you spend $1300 (or MORE these days) on a Colt, it SHOULD be finished NICER than all the others out there, as Colt has been making AR's for years longer than most of these companies.
    Some of us simply prefer to be in control of the blems that are put on our $1300+ weapons.

    Not that anyone doesn't care, but if the rifle is used for training, defense, etc. fit and finish does not matter.

    Well in regards to weapon function of course it doesn't matter. Who on this forum could possibly be of such a low intelligence level to not already know this? Would anyone actually have to be told this?
    No offense, but we are not debating the obvious in regards to functionality of a weapon due to it's finish. We are discussing and acknowledging Colts subpar finish as compared to others.

    NetJunkie got it right, REGARDLESS of whether or not everyone agrees. Facts are facts, regardless of who cares or not.
    You pay a premium for ANY product, you SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNNITY to expect it to be the best IN EVERY WAY.
    NOT just functionally, and certainly NOT just cosmetically.
