Red dot (543 360) is missing and levers and srap eyelets are the same of the older M4 and of the Red Dot M4-2. Wetzlar wrote me that several M4-P were made in such a shape but they could not tell how many and that he red dot was put on during the series production. I argue that this batch was a nulleserie as the M4-2 Red Dot made to train workers. Can Luggers write me the lower serial number where the Red Dot appears? Thanks for the help.
