I have a pre-ban colt sporter and want to buy an M4 upper for it. I have never done any sort of AR building. Will they connect right or do I need a different lower to make it work?

If your pre-ban Sporter is like mine with the std (.250") takedown pivot then, you can put a newer upper right on there with no trouble.  If your's has the larger (.312") takedown you'll have to get a adaptor pin.  

The only thing you may not like is that the pre-ban Colts are gray, all the new stuff is dark black so you'll have a mismatch in colors, unless you can find yourself a older Colt M4 upper that is gray.  That will be pretty hard though.

thank you, the color difference wont bother me as I plan to get a new lower for the M4 eventually anyway, jsut wanted to make sure I would be able to use the upper when I get it.
