I admit I don’t know everything about guns l, but this the first time I’ve seen an A over the MPC on a bolt. I also had to wipe a lot of dirty oil off the entire rifle, it was dripping wet. If I’d shot it before wiping it down, I’d be sprayed with oil. The cage number is on the upper receiver, the barrel, butt stock, and under charging handle.
Good deal. You have a quality piece of hardware, and even if you’re already good to go in rifles, it is nice to add one of those to the safe. When the crazy dies down, I’d like to do the same thing.
Congratulations & Happy Easter!
You will get a ton of use outta that AR
Well I paid $1100 + tax. I’m sure that it go down $200 if the politicians stop threatening a ban on them.
$1100 seems pretty solid regardless of who is in office. Colt has a problem with market fluctuations regarding pricing. When something is sold cheaply, people tend to think that is what an item should always sell for.
Congrats on a great AR, what do you plan to do with it, or how do you plan to outfit it?
The A is a stamp from whoever that is that made the bolt.
Now I know what an 80s Cadillac fan felt like.
It’s still a Colt bolt and IMO you have an AR that’s as good as anything out there.
Especially at that price. You did good.
A lot of people don’t like the new carbine markings but I think they look good. I like simple and the engraving is done nicely.
That G96 smells so good!
I agree, it was a meant in jest.
$1100 not bad for this market. I’ve seen 'em priced $1600 online or at gun shows.
I got one 3 years ago. It had a similar thick coating of oil. I blasted all the oil out of it with brake cleaner and cleaned it.
These are good no frills rifles.
I have always wanted a 6920 as a base line rifle to rate all the other rifles against (times and splits) and as a starter rifle for students. I had a Noveske N4 matched gun that was a 6920 clone done by Noveske and had to sell during a divorce unfortunately. Loved that rifle 
Happy you got a good one!

I have an early N4 model that Johnny ended up giving me / horse trading. That’s back when they had just started doing the Cross across the upper and lower to show it was manufactured as a complete rifle.

Not new, but I have a lightly used 6920 upper headed my way. Should be delivered tomorrow afternoon, I can’t wait.
I’m interested to hear what other uppers you have and how that 6920 compares in feel to those.
I’ve been some comparisons lately and the results are counter to common opinion.
What comparisons have you seen? I’d be interested in the data.
Be happy to share my thoughts, but it’ll be a while. Ammo is still thin on the ground here and my stash is uncomfortably low.
6920 is still the gold standard, just because. And it is great to have a nice base gun. I have a base model LMT 10.5 with iron sights and plastic hand guard. It’s fun to go back to basics. Had a 6920 like everyone else and sold it like an idiot.
I have others but no baseline models.
