With its classic A2 configuration, unmistakable Colt heritage, and serial number indicating pre-1994-ban manufacture, this rifle offers the kind of originality and historical appeal that collectors continue to seek out. Chambered in .223 Remington, this semi-automatic rifle features a 20" heavy-profile barrel (HBAR), delivering the traditional full-length rifle configuration that made these Colt Sporter models so recognizable. And the details are exactly what Colt enthusiasts love to see! The rifle features the classic fixed A2 carry-handle upper receiver, giving it that unmistakable old-school AR appearance. Complementing the upper is the traditional fixed rifle-length buttstock, completing the timeless A2-style profile. Unlike many modern AR-platform rifles with detachable optics, adjustable stocks, and contemporary accessories, this Colt retains the distinctive appearance that made the original Sporter Match HBAR such an enduring favorite. But perhaps the most important feature is its pre-ban status. According to its serial-number information, this rifle dates to the period before the 1994 federal assault weapons ban. That historical distinction makes these older Colts particularly interesting to collectors, especially those seeking rifles from this era of Colt manufacturing. This rifle includes one 10-round magazine and presents an excellent opportunity to add a classic Colt Sporter configuration to your collection. Whether you're a dedicated Colt enthusiast, a collector of early commercial AR-pattern rifles, or simply appreciate the timeless look of a full-length A2-style rifle, this Sporter Match HBAR deserves serious consideration. A pre-ban Colt, 20" HBAR barrel, fixed A2 carry handle, and classic rifle stock. This is the kind of firearm that belongs in a serious Colt collection!
