There is little more that identifies the AR15 than the rollmarks and other markings.

Seems like a natural ..............to me at least.

It's a full pre-ban style A2 rifle with 1/7 HBAR barrel. The magazine that came with it is dated 3 - 98. I can post a picture if needed.

I have one of these also, yours is the first I've heard of other than mine.
My serial number is in the same range as yours - what else can you tell about the origins of your gun? Do you know if these were supposed to be patrol guns, or what?

The story I got from the guy at Hoplite - he had some of these but I acquired mine elsewhere - was that Colt made these for some LE department rifle team.

I have one of these, too - do you know anything about its origins?

AFAIK, almost all the LEO - stamped guns were carbines. I was wondering if these were early patrol car guns or something, or if they were made for LEO rifle teams, as one story has it.
