MH serial says it’s supposed to pre ban according to what I see online. Has the flash hider but it doesn’t have the bayonet lug. It also has the sear block in the lower. Thought it may be a late pre ban maybe but I aren’t the slab side lowers much older?

6601 Blue label is my guess.

Prior to the last site update, there used to be a "resources" section here on AR15.com that had all kinds of stuff like old pre-ban serial number lists, how-to guides, etc. All gone now it seems.

Yep - I have MH 030XXX, circa 1991.
I'm like a bad doctor, I have no patience.

It's a preban according to bigger hammers list.

https://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/ar15serial.html

My 6520 has a slab sided lower and shipped 11/1991.

Colt started shaving bayonet lugs years before the 1994  ban.

It is rare to see slabside lowers with Sear blocks, they mostly seem to have the big front pins.

Does this one have both?

Interesting Rifle for sure

Recently I witnessed #MH047937 it is an (early pattern) A2 lower w/pinned block.  No lug.

My buddy owns MH011523 it’s a 601 type lower.  It has no block but it has a 1/2 moon carrier.  No lug.

Last weekend I saw a 16” with an early A2 lower and stock, pinned block, no lug.  I cant remember the serial other than MH.  Only $999.

If you live in Georgia... most guys on this forum are FTF only.

From what I’m reading Colt was turning out random configurations before the was to go into effect

I have a 6601 and it's exactly the same with one exception, mine has the mag release fence. Purchased used in 1990 or 91.
