I’m in the process of taking photographs of my CR6920-EC (14.5″ barrel pin/weld version) European Carbine.

This carbine is a perfect example as to why you cannot use the barrier bag or the accessory bag date to date the production of firearm.

The barrier bag is dated January 2024.

The accessory bag date is April 2019.

Scanning of my production QR code has a date of March 20, 2024 as shown below.

So, as this demonstrates, the dates on bags are simply dates applicable only to those bags. The dates have no correspondence to the firearm manufacturing date.
