guys'n gals...,
there are several Colt topics going right now, so follow them all for an education..., what i mean is that i have spent the last 5 days on the phone wyth Colt, two premier Colt collectors & many owners of Colt AR-15s, in fact i have invited them to visit us @ AR15.com
FIRST off, i was joking to the extreme on the $20,000 thyngy, i had no idea any one wud take me seriously, it was someones $13,000 remarke that i expanded from......
but seriously !
LotBoy,
the photos you see here are of a Model 6520 THE ONLY Colt AR-15 A2 Carbines made, later models of the 6520 were marked "Gov't Carbine", there is no such thyng as a 6420 carbine...!! unless someone made one up & that still only makes it worth common pre-ban prices.., in fact putting a 6420 upper on a 6520 lower only reduces it's value.., THE one i am getting IS one of the rarest of Colt Carbines, others i have talked to, can not belive i got it that cheap !!
one other interesting fact, this model was originally slated for export, the last shipment never made it....!! i got one of those remaining behind, that is the model that only 300 or less survived & are in American hands !!!!!!
