| A quick question for the knowlegdeable ones here. I have a Colt factory 7.62 upper, flat top with removable carry handle. Does anyone know what year Colt started making them? I bought it used and I'm curious about it's age. |
| Somewhere in this maze there is a thread with Colt serial numbers including years of manufacture for the 7.62 x 39. It may be "Google-able" if not a part of AR15.com. The upper you have is a wonderful addition to the AR system. Extremely accurate and reliable with proper magazines. I use my 16" for light hunting and fun shooting. It's also a great ladies and kids learning rifle... low felt recoil. Good luck and enjoy. |
Sorry, but you are right. I missed that point, but I do remember reading months ago something about the manufacturing being in the late 80's eary 90's. One date that seams to stick in my mind was 1994. I will look for additional informatin that I may have saved on our Colt 7.62x39 AR-15s.  ArticWolf PS: When Colt cut loose with this modle, it was without the lowers if I remember right. |
