Had to go to my LGS (est. 1868)which is a hardware store /gun store for work supplies and I always go upstairs to the gun section and lo and behold they had this for a whopping $769.00,  I didn't realize what it was actually worth until I got home. It appears to be unfired, only thing missing was the sling and cleaning kit, it is filthy. Guy who sold it said he was the original owner and it sat in a closet and he never fired it. There is no wear on any of the surfaces or bolt from firing. Crappy pictures and she needs a good cleaning. Whoever put the barcode tag had it listed as a target heavy barrel but it's a sporter. Birth bag has the correct serial number on it.

NICE FIND

You did well!!!!

Good score! I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat.

So Jealous!  Congrats OP, that is a nice rifle.

YOU COULD SELL IT FOR AT LEAST DOUBLE

congrats. Solid buttstock reminds me of my Army days.

Good guns

I sold mine for $1600. Great buy....

I know this was an old thread but Congrats anyway!

Nice new old stock, what a great find.

My first Colt R6600 AR-15A2 HBAR Sporter rifle I used to have got it new in 1986 for if I remember correctly in the $500 price range that time.

My HBAR was my 4th Colt AR, my first was my SP1 in 1971, second is a Sporter II model 6401 AR-15A2 rifle in 1984, and my third was a Sporter II A2 carbine in 1985.

I mainly used my HBAR rifle for DCM rifle competition (CMP now) and I had it steadily modified from lower pull weight & smoother trigger, NM match narrower and smaller aperture sights, free floating tube with modified A2 handguards, then in the early 1990s I worn out the barrel and changed it to a Douglas SS match barrel.

I sold mine in 2001 because I was not competing anymore since I had my first son in 1996, and because there was a ban that time I got a great price for my pre ban rifle.

Nice looking rifle OP

Colt needs to go back to making their lowers without a sear web/block like the Green labels and quit milling off the selector stops.
