Colt made their own grips back in the day?

No, Colt has never made their own grips.

This. All Colt "plastic" furniture is "outsourced", just like a lot of their small parts always have been.

No. I misworded. The grips now aren't the same as they were back in the day. They arent as dull or as soft as they were.

That is not necessarily true.

Brand new production Colt CR6920. Pistol grip is the “dull/soft” version, marked F4 on the inside, all the features you described.

There are no absolutes when dealing with Colt.

Two current production Colt CR6920 pistol grips side-by-side. Obvious difference.

It's because of stuff like this that folks need to be very specific when asking about parts.

Not bashing the pony but they have a cr recall. Someone else posted but I figured more visibility couldn’t hurt.

Those lowers are making me cry. I put together an awesome complete upper off EE for like $300 but just as finished the lowers dried up.
