Colt pre ban ar 15 serial numbers serial number#

While most buyers today want short and s****y 16 in. If you want a factory built A2 style rifle it is one of the better options in terms of quality. For shooters they've still got the same slab sided lower and dumb screw pin used in the SP1. Yes, the green label AR15 marked rifles with the lug command more from collectors. Colt discovered that other companies (Bushmaster and Eagle Arms) were simply going to take the market if they abandoned it so they re-introduced the AR15A2 as the 'Sporter.'Ĭolt voluntarily removed the bayonet lug on these rifles but kept the flash hider until they were forced to remove it in 1994. These were made between 19 after Colt briefly pulled AR15 marked rifles from the market after the Stockton CA shooting. What he's got is a blue label pre-ban Colt Sporter. I think in today's market his would go for 1200, maybe a bit more. The most pricey is typically the slab-sided AR-15A2 with the lug and A2 hider still on it, those go for 2000 or so. Preban or not, the missing flashhider an bayonet lug are a big minus, they're just about the least desirable of all the Colt A2's. I'd say save it or sell it for a bit more than its worth if someone is willing to pay that. There will always be more gun buyers as time goes on, but there won't be any more of that one gun he's got. If Biden wins it goes up substantially, if he loses, I think it'll go down a little bit, but not significantly. I don't want him to get ripped off so I ask here at the MDS well of knowledge what is a fair price for this piece?
