i know i am driving everyone crazy with my postings about take down pins but i want to purchase the correct rifle, so here goes my last question, the pre ban match target competition hbar rifle with a serial number starting with cch 004xxx if it has the REMOVEABLE CARRY HANDLE is it safe to assume it ONLY has the small forward takedown pin ?

cch serial number prefix rifles are postban.

CCH010000 and Above - Post Ban MT6700, MT6700C and MT6700CH series, 1998 production wich means this is pre ban since the number is below 10,000 (oo4xxx) would be below the above post ban making it pre ban

That's a different serial than you were asking about in the other thread, right?  My impression is the CCH prefixed serials start at CCH010000, thus there are none below that number and thus no preban CCHs.  Are you sure it's not just CH rather than CCH?

Why don't you just call Colt and have them run the serial numbers for you?

its definately CCH they didnt start at 010000 because the one im looking at is 004xxx, the post ban models started at 010000 i just need to know if the flat tops ONLY came with small forward pins

If you're looking at it, why can't you tell what size pivot pin it has?  Small is 1/4", big  is .315"

Here's one I just found on GB.  Pre-ban, flat top, with full fence, BUT it does appear to be a large pivot pin based on the size of the pivot pin screw heads.

What does the guy selling it answer when you asked him?

that is a LARGE HOLE


if it has a double screw head, (left and right) then it is a LARGE HOLE.  small holes  have a screw head on one side only

Real-deal Colt large hole flat top uppers are very hard to come by.  If you have the chance to buy one I suggest you take it.

That rifle is CH not CCH––CH is pre-ban, some had large holes (early serial numbers) , others small. Mine(CH016,xxx) is pre-ban small hole.

I'm as big a Colt fanboy as the next guy, but $2000 for a preban AR just because it's a large pin flat top?  I hem and haw about spending that for a complete Delta HBAR with the case, sling, scope, Colt marked cheekpiece, etc.  If you want a large hole flat top upper, just buy a DD, and use all Colt parts with it.
