I know this has probably been asked 1000 times, but is it possible to get a Colt with selector stops on the lower? Preferably an AR15A4. |

Yes, it is possible to get a Colt with selector stops on the lower if you buy the new Colt M16A1 reissue retro classic series models either available now or early next year.
These classic series models also have the original gov't contract rollmarkings and all features except they are configured in semi auto only (not select fire). The AR-15 semi auto models does not need the selector stops, the selector are stopped by the groove inside the selector and the selector detent pin, they will only rotate 90 degrees. The only bad thing about these classic AR series are the price they will be expensive at about $2,499 MSRP or even more because they are limited production. Here's an article link of the new Colt M16 reissue classic series models: http://www.gunsandtech.com/news/tyan/first-impression-colts-new-retro-m16a1-reissue/ |

The rear sling swivel and 3 prong flash suppressor aren't correct for an A1 are they? The 3 prong flash suppressor and swiveling pinned rear sling swivel are correct for the early A1, later A1 was changed to the birdcage A1 flash suppressor and fixed rear sling swivel, see reference link below. http://www.retroblackrifle.com/ |
| When the Colt expanse rifles first showed up, some milspec (not integrated trigger guard) stripped lowers showed up on Gun Broker with the selector stops. I think you can find some pictures in one of the old threads discussing the Expanse models. I bet it would be pretty hard to find one now though. |

I would like to see a picture of that and the roll marks. Colt competition models have selector stops. Quoted:

They were the Expanse lowers with serial numbers starting with CE. Speculation was that they were made for, not by Colt but who knows for sure. Here are some pics I found on Google image search that were posted on TOS.

Sure, if you have over $200,000 to cover all the people that say they want one, but don't have the money. Quoted:

Could such a group buy be orchestrated? Sure, if you have over $200,000 to cover all the people that say they want one, but don't have the money. We need something like a Kickstarter for guns for group buys from Colt, where the money is committed unless the Kickstarter fails to reach its goal (in this case 300 buyers). 300 isn't that much and there's some cool stuff I'm sure a lot of us here would like. |
