Colt made a Model MT6601 HBAR which had a 20" bbl and a "CMH" serial number prefix. The MT6601C had a legal pinned-on compensator. Should be a non-flat top model (A2).

Yes, it has a fixed carry handle. the flash suppressor could be Colt.

I agree it's a model MT6601 Match Target HBAR, I have the same lower with the CMH serial number prefix.

Here's more info from the Colt site.

+1 Love mine, bought it new in '96 for $699, and with today's prices, I'm glad every day.
