| Hey guys, i was going to buy a stag model 2t, but at the local gun store they have a 199-2000 Colt Match Target HBAR 20'' that somebody bought for y2k and only shot 500ish rounds out of it. Its in great condition and doesn't have a scratch on it. Do you think its worth $1200? Is the match target hbar any better than a carbine model? I am looking for a reliable and accurate gun. I was also wondering if the older guns from that time were built any better/worse than the newest ones? Thanks for the help! |

thats a bit too much, but maybe not considering the panic buying
and BTW you must be blind or a liar! everyone knows no colt looks flawless 
It is a great gun. but I wouldnt give more that 950 for it before the pre obama days. but maybe that price is normal for now

I have an older Colt HBAR and it is a shooter! The Colt Sporters use a larger front pivot pin than other brands, but you can buy adapters, cheap.
The 1-in-7" twist barrel will stablilize heavy match bullets, but mine will put 52-grain match hollow points in tiny, pleasing, little groups all day long. Good shooting, desmobob |
| thanks for the info guys, the owner of the store is holding the gun for my dad so its still there. I didn't know that there was an adapter kit out there for the other receiver parts, but I guess I will have to look into that. Unfortunately I don't reload, but i would love to get into it some day (if we are allowed to own guns). |
| I've got a colt 6601, 1994 manufacture date, has the flashhider, but no bayo lug. I bought it in like new condition for $1100 about 9 months ago. Good gun, the 1/7 barrel is accurate. I'd try to talk the dealer down a bit if the gun is the neutered model with no flashhider or bayo lug, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with a nice colt. Hopefully, the price you quoted includes the original box, manual, and blocked mags. If it doesn't, I think $1200 is high, but who knows what will happen price wise thanks to Obama. Also, my 6601 took a normal front pivot pin in place of the screw in colt model with no issues, so I can put any standard upper on the gun. |
