Not a low serial number. Another oddity about your gun is the front pivot pin. It looks like a standard push pin. Almost all Colts made during that time frame had twin screws...one side screwed into the other. What does the front pivot pin look like on the right side of your rifle? Does it look like a screw or is it a standard push pin?

It’s a solid pin. You would have to have a punch from one side to the other. here is pic. I did not know that.

If you look at the pics I posted of my rifle that was the typical setup of that period. They didn't go back to the standard push pin in the front until about 1999. It's interesting that your gun has a push pin and not screws. But, Colt was always doing some oddball thing to their guns so it's hard to say why.

I wonder if they were just trying to throw together stuff

That one was a Bushmaster HBAR Rick. Not sure of the year, but it was a ban-era rifle that lacked a muzzle device and bayo lug.

That was/is a sharp looking blast from the past!

My Sporter 2 Carbine has the big hole front pivot pin that screws together, and it's from the same time frame. I'm pretty sure that is a large hole front pivot pin. It may have come with the screw together front pin and replaced. I've thought about ordering the larger push pin, but now that it's a "collector's item", I'll just leave it original.

^^ You could be right on that. I have some of the little bushings to adapt a larger-hole upper to a regular push pin so it fits a standard lower. They're a real PITA to get lined up so the pin fits thru.
