Yes you can [:)]
If you have a large pin Colt lower you will have to spend an extra $6.99 and buy a conversion pin to fit a small pin upper: [url=http://store.yahoo.com/cdnn/arunfronconp.html]CDNN conversion pin[/url] [img]http://store3.yimg.com/I/cdnn_1757_12058557[/img] If your Colt is new enough it may already have a standard front pushpin like my M4 carbine does: [img]http://home.comcast.net/~cjan99999/front_pin.JPG[/img] |

If the forward hole on the lower is 1/4 inch, the changeover is a straight drop on. If the forward hole is 3/8, you'll need a conversion adapter pin to match the upper and lower. The best adapter is from CDNN [url]www.cdnninvestments.com[/url].
Either way, you're good to go. Just that if you have a largw pin lower, you'll have to spend a few bucks more for the pin[:D] (Edsited to add) AAAh. CJan beat me to it; with pics yet[:D] |

Holy moly, at first glance, before I realized it was a digital micrometer, I though you had a Digital clock mounted on your rifle! :-) |

I wonder if there would be a market for a digital round counter for an AR15/M16/M4. You know, like the counters in the movie [i]Aliens[/i]. |

Quoted: If your Colt is new enough it may already have a standard front pushpin like my M4 carbine does: Even some pre-ban Colts have the small pin. I was very happy when I took my lower to a gunshow today and the M4 upper I wanted actually fit. I don't have a micrometer but what led me initialy to think I had a small pin lower was I put the front pin of the lower through the rear hole of the upper. I figure if it fit then it's small pin. Does that make sense? |

My other two Colts are large pin, and I just replaced the screw with a pushpin adapter-it's pretty slick [:)] |

Quoted: Yes, I believe AK_Mike has a small pin preban Colt as well. My other two Colts are large pin, and I just replaced the screw with a pushpin adapter-it's pretty slick [:)] I wish. My 6520 had the large pin so I built a large pin flat top M4gery upper for it and so I also got to use a pushpin (large). It was a lot to do just because the adaptor pin was annoying. However, I did luck out in that my FCG pins were standard (small). I see the small front pivot pin prebans from time to time, but didn't have to money to go for it. Prices are coming down! [:D] |

[:D] Colt is messed up. I also have a 6520 ("AR-15A2 Gov't Carbine" roll mark) small pin. I do love the Prancing Pony. Every M-16 I fired had the prancing pony so there must be something there. edited to add sn# GC0127XX. If that might help fill any gaps. |

[img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/Attachments/DownloadAttach.asp?iImageUnq=15631[/img] Yup. Still, there are 6520's that have all small pins and even the fence, but I think most but not all were blue labels. The all small pins and fence green labels were rare indeed. Still, I keep it, it has character, and it's a Colt. (#GC0069XX) |
