[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3978827, member: 45773"] This is a pretty sought after Colt rifle by collectors as well...not the hard-core, "I gotta have the most rare Colt" type collectors, but maybe the beginner or the collector on a budget. Like me. I love Colts but don't have the budget for the really rare ones these days. Oftentimes the terms "pre" and "post" in regards to the AWB are used only for manufacturing time-frame reference. It's also important to Colt collector's because Colt started doing some different things with their guns in the few years prior to the ban being implemented. 1989 - 1991 timeframe saw lots of unusual variations in Colt rifles. This one is a perfect example. Somehow this one didn't get the receiver block but has some other features of guns made in that period...like the ground off bayo lug. I have one that was made in that time-frame but can't find the exact date from the serial number search tool on Colt's website. It's one of the more rare versions of the OP's rifle. It's marked "AR-15 A2 Gov't Model". Doesn't have the receiver block and still has the lug. Probably my favorite gun. You don't see them come up for sale too often.
