Colt Sporter Target Pre Ban Serial Numbers
I have up for sale my Colt AR-15. It is a pre-ban Sporter Target, model #6551.
I am the original owner of it. I have taken extremely good care of it.
I would approximate the round count at about 2000. It has performed flawlessly for me over the years. I have (2) 30 round mags that I will include with it.Not that it matters too much around here, but this is a pre-ban gun.
The bayonet lug has been cut off at the factory. The serial number falls well below the pre-ban cut-off. Please note, I have photoshopped the serial number in the picture.
Colt Sporter Target Pre Ban Serial Numbers In 1
The true serial number is ST01XXXX. I will provide the full serial ONLY to a serious, out of state buyer.I prefer a FTF sale. I am located in Beaverton, OR.
Buyer must be willing to provide Oregon ID, be 18 years of age or older, and be willing to sign a bill of sale.I will entertain shipping the rifle. All shipping charges will be at buyers cost. If shipping, I will only accept USPS money order. I have never used GunPal, but that may be an option as well, providing buyer pays any fees associated with it.

From the 6551 data base II archive thread that I posted yours was made in 1990.If I remember correctly, and fellow members please correct me if I'm wrong, there were no production M4 profile barrels was available from the factory at that time.The only available carbines in '90 that I could remember was the R6520 Gov't Model carbine with collapsible stock and lightweight 16' barrels and the R6530 Sporter Lightweight with fixed short A2 style stocks (which I also had owned before).

The M4 Kick came after that point!My guess is that this is a parts gun and someone replaced the original barrel with a Colt M4 barrel. I will bet if you call Colt, they will confirm that this left the plant with a 16-inch lightweight barrel.I owned a 6530 and 6551 back in those days. Good guns but both of mine had sear blocks. Remember that these are in the BLUE LABEL transitional period so there are all kinds of strange Colts from his period that have all kinds of mixed part combinations. Thanks for that info.
