I had to save and bring back to life this dry, dirty, sad looking and lonely rifle hanging on the LGS wall.
Maybe it was the Tasco scope with B square mount that put off potential buyers. I removed that quickly. It’s a Colt AR-15 A2 sporter II from 1987 (R6500) with field sights. 
With the 1975 SP1 I bought 2 years ago

She is a real beauty.
Thank you for the pictures. You have put together a really nice collection of Colt rifles and carbins. I have to say I envy you ... |

I envy your rifle I just got one yesterday not as nice as yours but it was a gift for some brush clearing that took about 3 hours.
Colt Match Target HBAR it was a bit dusty but it’s all cleaned up now. By the way it’s never been fired!  Attached File |

My AR15A2 Sporter II was the early model with slab side upper (no deflector or forward assist)
First gun I ever bought brand new, back in 1985 Sent it to a museum, in Switzerland, funnily enough back when they were banned here. Contacted the museum - seems the member of staff I addressed it to may have neglected to take it to work to put on display - fucker stole it!! ….and my Iver Johnson M1 carbine too Great rifle - still got the factory manual and some accessories that came with it |
