I posted a request in another area of ARFCOM, but got no response. I know that most of the 700 series are not considered retro but I thought maybe someone could help me flesh out this listing I have of the Colt 700-Series. What I have so far is based on Colt's Armorer's Catalog with a bit thrown in from some of Capt Richardson's posts and from Andy K's list gleaned from Janes. There are a few entries I have found that are not listed in Colt's Armorer's Catalog and I have included them. The post is formatted as follows: Colt Model Number followed by a hyphen Colt Designation followed by a hyphen Fire Selector followed by a hyphen Lower Receiver Type / Upper Receiver Type / Rear Sight Type / Barrel Type followed by any notes including any known US Military designations The "E2" terms, listed at the bottom of the list and are asterisked , are of my own use and not offical Colt designation. Colt 700 Series 701 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / A2 Upper / A2 Rear Sight / A2 Barrel US Military M16A3 702 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / A2 Upper / E2 Rear Sight* / A1 Barrel export model for United Arab Emirates ? 703 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / A2 Upper / A2 Rear Sight / A1 Barrel export model for United Arab Emirates ? 705 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/BURST - same as RO701 US Military M16A2E3 ? 707 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/BURST - same as RO702 711 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / A1 or E2 Upper** / A1 Rear Sight / A1 Barrel 713 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/BURST - same as RO711 715 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / E2 Upper** / A1 Rear Sight / A2 Barrel Canadian C7 Rifle 719 - M16A2 Rifle - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - same as RO715 720 - M16A2 Carbine - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / A2 Upper / A2 Rear Sight / M4 Barrel XM4 Carbine ? 723 - M16A2 Carbine - SAFE/SEMI/AUTO - A2 Lower / E2 Upper** / A1 Rear Sight / A1 Carbine Barrel export model for United Arab Emirates ? utilized by US Army Delta Force ?

Note this list doesn't treat the Colt 703 as the gas piston prototype.
