Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheNuge: I don’t even care about the roll mark that much but like the area above the back of the grip. The curved part that your palm fits it. Mine was super rough and uneven compared to colt completes I’ve bought. I saw some posts of some other issues here or on another forum. To me they seem like definite blems that colt decided to sell without mentioning they were blems but whatever. Maybe I’m crazy. Colt can definitely be hit and miss cosmetically. |

That sounds like a collectors piece. I've got 2 days worth of belly button lint soaked in ball sweat and Iran's "non existent" nuclear weapons arsenal to offer up in trade. Your item may be invaluable though 
I removed the front sight post assembly, I can still use it ETA: I'll take the bellybutton lint. I have no room for the non-existent nuclear arsenal. Not unless I move the Loch Ness monsters swim tank out. The kids have become attached though, she's gonna stay or I'll catch an earful. Maybe stuck with dry handjobs and hard stares (at the same time) for a whole week. I can't risk it. |

When I'm not wearing my rifle but still want the sling attached for "go-ready", the sling is quite annoying to me and catches on everything, is always in the way etc. This technique is quite glorious. Learned it from an ex SF guy on youtube a couple years ago.(he used it for in the vehicle, I use it at home and in vehicle)

Sling interference when not in use is the biggest reason that I leave most of mine off. |
