Alex, I thought you were going to GIVE that Upper Half to me. 
Just Kidding, but if you ever think about letting it go, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL FIRST.. It's Beautiful, and I'm a little green with envy. Will the Colt 3X9 Scope fit on it??? |

Unfortunately it takes a special mount that I am unaware of what scope goes on this. I posted a couple pictures of the mount if anybody knows |

Fantastic looking rifle and a rare find. I believe the Colt 656 utilized the 3x9 Realist "Camputer" scope. If you look on the bottom of the mount, you will see a hole (sometimes has a screw in it). The rings were a little offset too. There are a couple of these scopes listed on Ebay. Check them out.

You can see where the two front screw holes
Would intersect the factory realist mount. The rear Pin ... Had to be something added to stabilize The rear of the scope .

The correct scope is the realist 3x9 computer scope. There have been three
On eBay for years for 700-ish. And for that price they will stay there for more years to come. I spent literally every day for almost a year On multiple sights to try and find mine... At a good price. I finally placed wanted to by adds And eventually it paid off. If anybody is considering building a 656 I recommend taking that route. The e bay scopes are also wrong, at least in s few details . The scopes on the Knights guns are Very late production ARTs, right before they transitioned to the leatherwood ART2. So the Knights scopes are Black not the bronze-ish color and they have the ART sticker on the side , which was something common on the ART2 |

That's what I'd do. I place five adds- M14 forum, sniper hide , arfcom
And..., I forget the other two. But arfcom paid off. It didn't take long, I was able to get one from a member that had been sitting on top of his M14 for thirty years barely used. Not long after that ( a year and half ago now) I had a chance to buy two more at 250$ ea. And recently almost bought another for 125$. Downside is finding one like what's on the Knights gun...... Probably about as rare as finding a factory 656 upper from a retired colt Exec. But you never know. |

It also looks like some with out scopes were later modified with garand or M14 rear sights on them. Strange. I don't know how to search archives but if you do you will come across a thread With member FRANKSPPD,, or something close to that. He has a lot of first hand info on the Colt " low sniper upper". He said some were in the hands of colt reps in the 80s(?). And at least one was up for sale at some point..... But I don't think anyone knows for sure. Probably Twenty or less? You can see on the left- one with scope and two without 
Here are two that look like they were modified later
