4

Under the foregrip mount on the re-

ceiver is the "Hidden Serial Number"

location, which at first look appears to

match the other receiver serial numbers

for 13184, along with the "N" letter code

cartouche.

Upon closer examination of these stamp-

ing the first number one appears to be an

overstamp of a number 4. Yes, even Colt's

employees make mistakes. The original

serial number stamped appears as 43184.

This optimistic serial number mistake

was corrected with the number 4 being

overstamped with the correct number of

one.

It is always interesting to study our col-

lections and listen to what they can tell

us.
