as for the pins...they started in mid 2008 if I recall correctly
Can someone confirm this? I have heard mid 2010 as well as mid 2008. I've been dumping on Colt for years because of the irregular pins and if they have changed... I want to stop telling folks to avoid buying a Colt because parts not interchanging. Is this true of both the LE line and the SP line if AR15s?
