The one in your link claims in the description that the receiver is mis marked. Do not use that posting as a reference for the value of your firearm.

His add is the same as my rifle. I'm almost positive that he's full of crap. In fact, his serial number is VERY close to mine!
I am doing a lot of searching for info on this and info is scarce. |

It's still just an ar15 *&^%$#@! But some one will probably buy it so they can show there friends the serial #.

You say it's just an ar15...
Is it even technically an ar15? It says Sporter but has an ar15 serial number. I'm just trying to get more info on this rifle of mine. I haven't seen any other preban (GS) 14.5" Sporter Target that's all. Thanks! |

Colt Sporter Target are R6551 models and are usually 20" rifles with government profile barrels, no bayonet lugs.
I used to have one I bought in '90-'91 with large pivot pin, mag fence around mag release button and no sear block but with the usual ST prefix S/N. There were two 6551 rifles that were reported in a past thread before: GS 0099XX NO DETAILS GS 010173 CM forge code, slab side lower, no sear block, small hammer/ trigger pins, marked COLT'S MFG CO. INC. Ref: Colt Target Model 6551 Data Base II - Archive Thread link Biggerhammer Colt Commercial Variants website link |

Every green label I've seen has a "SP" prefix as the serial number, sounds like a blue label, and that 14.5" barrel makes it a Short Barrel Rifle, a class 3 item

That's the same as mine except my colt is a 14.5" M4 profile barrel with A2 upper and no m4 feedramps though. Interesting. |

Hmmm... From the 6551 data base II archive thread that I posted yours was made in 1990. If I remember correctly, and fellow members please correct me if I'm wrong, there were no production M4 profile barrels was available from the factory at that time. The only available carbines in '90 that I could remember was the R6520 Gov't Model carbine with collapsible stock and lightweight 16" barrels and the R6530 Sporter Lightweight with fixed short A2 style stocks (which I also had owned before). |

lol no way! I wouldn't try and take advantage of people by advertising it as an error. I'm not even planning on selling it. (Unless someone offered me $4k!)

That is what I recall as well... the M4 Kick came after that point! My guess is that this is a parts gun and someone replaced the original barrel with a Colt M4 barrel. I will bet if you call Colt, they will confirm that this left the plant with a 16-inch lightweight barrel. I owned a 6530 and 6551 back in those days... good guns but both of mine had sear blocks. Remember that these are in the BLUE LABEL transitional period so there are all kinds of strange Colts from his period that have all kinds of mixed part combinations. |
