Thanks for sharing! I was one of those skeptical about the 223 chambering but was proved to be true on arfcom. many guns are being labeled as 223 but are in fact 5.56. I wonder what market these are intended for… in Italy 5.56 Colt and other mfg are still being imported regularly. The all serialized parts are indeed a newer requirement.
Great Info. I just got my rifle here in the Philippines from an authorized local distributor. I have the same markings. The only difference is that it has a cz/colt triangle logo beisde the serial number on the upper receiver. I got kind of relieved when I saw this video. I thought the local distributor put the serial numbers for compliance. I couldn't find any info about the markings. There is also a serial number on the bolt itself. On the Box, the model number is CR6921-E. It is a 14.5 inch barrel, flash hider is not pinned and welded. Not sure if it is an export or european model. Box label shows 223 but CZ put their own label on top of it. The barrel has a cage code and is marked 5.56. It also came with a CZ Bren magazine instead of a pmag. I am lucky enough to have a cage coded upper receiver and also has a square forge marking. Hope you can shed more info on this model.
Thanks! Great info! Couldn't tell for sure from the video but it looks like that quad rail is not notched for KAC, P&S or PAT RAS rail side covers to lock into place?
Very Cool 😀😀😀😀😊👍🏼😇👍🏼 I Like These Longer Videos and Specs in Detail 😀 Didn’t Colt Also Chamber Carbines In 222 Remington at One Point in Time For The European Market
It's .223 and their sticking to that story. Why? because some countries don't allow possession of military ammo (5.56) and to list it otherwise would exclude them from the market there. My guns have .223 Wylde barrels and will shoot both .223 and 5.56 just like my Ruger Mini-14 in .223 shoots 5.56 as stated in the Ruger Manual.
These Colts are not “straight pull” rifles and therefore would not be allowed for civilian ownership…in the UK at least. UK citizens are not allowed except through special licensing to own semi auto rifles. These rifles would have to have the gas tube removed and the carrier key modified.
Been waiting for this ! Got this the second I saw it
I’m here brother!!! I own both these models and have the same 2 boxes thanks 2 U encouraging me to purchase them.
Hope you're doing well sir!

I wish colt would offer a 6920 14.5 p/w with that rail.
I love it
The anodizing looks really nice. Does Colt have a separate assembly line for their European models?

Do you have a colt Hbar Elite 24”?
B - do they have Euro triggers?
CIP does not differentiate between 223 & 5.56 like SAAMI does. Both are considered 223 in Europe. You can shoot both safety in a 223 CIP rifle.
Those rifles are way too pretty to be legitimate colts. Every brand new colt I own was banged up as heck out of the box lol.

I wish I had bought them when CDNN had them😢

Why isn't colt selling those quad rails seperately?
Why would they? It’s a regular commercial product anybody can buy from any gear distributor.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 Since when? I haven't seen it being sold anywhere
@@usernamehhhs4540 Colt just laser engraved their logo on a COTS product. The fella above me posted a source for the hand guards.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 Got a link to drop in quad rails that are locked into place with 4 screws on the bottom? I would like to buy a few.

Is was expecting to hear the chambering being .222 Rem instead of .223. Being European and all.
Sucks to not have a 2nd Amendment.
