The barrel should be marked "C MP 5.56 1/9".  The bolt should be marked "HP", and the bolt carrier should be marked with a "C".  Please guys, let me know if I have left anything out here.

The barrel should be marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR, the bolt either MPC, C, MPD, and the bolt carrier either C or stylized D of Diemaco-Colt (Colt Canada).

There could be other bolt markings also like grinded MPC then marked C on top of it, etc.

Mine has "M4" on the front of the upper receiver.

Between the front sight base and the flash hider in the twelve o'clock position the barrel will be marked as shown below.





The barrel extension will have a  "4" stamped in the three o'clock position.




There will be an "O" stamped near the chamber of the barrel.




There will be a date code stamped near the front sight base.  (The one shown below is from an M4)





The bolt carrier will have a "C" stamped on the port side.





Colt uses a variety of markings on their bolts.  Here are pics of a few.































Some of the more recent bolts even have the "MPC" ground down and a large "C" engraved over it.
