Today I was bored and looking at stuff in the safes I haven't fired for a while and ran into this.    My question is which is correct for this rifle, a lock washer or peel washer? I remember experimenting with different muzzle devices a long time ago but can't remember what the Colt factory used originally. There is a peel washer on it now but a lock washer is in the butt of the rifle with a bag of small parts. Anyone own an AR15 A2 Sporter II? (mfg from '87 - '89 if I remember correctly) |
It is curious, a sladside lower, but marked "A2", with an A2 grip. A C7 upper, with, probably, an A2 front end.

I'd love to have that exact model, too. I like the adjustability of the A2 sights for the range, but prefer the ruggedness of the A1's for a working gun. As a southpaw, I'd like the C7 upper for the brass deflector. You've just gotta love those transitional Colts! I've got an "AR-15 A2 Government Model" from '89 that is a full A2 upper on a slabside lower. I totally agree about the "feel" of these older Colts, so much so that they're all I own now. Nice rifle!
