So I’ve seen plenty of 6520 carbines for sale (and own one), with bayonet lugs, flash hiders and proper front takedowns sold during the AWB with the requisite restricted markings on the magwell.

Does anyone know if Colt sold 20” rifles with all the evil features for gov/LE use? I’ve never seen one before.

Did they have the front takedown pin or the .315” screw?

The R6601 and R6551 were the closest thing to the real A2 during the ban.
I think both had the Hbar.

I have a ban-era Colt R6700 with barrel dated 10/97. It came with a full fence lower and 0.25" pivot pin but was not drilled for a detent and spring, so came with a two piece screw. I've since had it drilled by Specialized Armament so it can use a standard pivot pin.
