    The Colt 6520 is the 16" carbine with a "pencil" barrel, also known as the AR-15A2 Government Carbine.

    The 6530 is not a postban version of the 6520.

    The 6530 was made just as long as the 6520 from the mid 1980s.

    There are 6530 that are postban in form.

    thank You.

    what's the difference between a 6520 and a 6530 both preban?

    One has a fixed stock, the other has a collapsing stock.

    My 6530 didn't have a bayonet lug on the sight block. The 6520 does.

    This is another difference depending on what time frame you are in.

    My 6530 also came with the stock marked 'CS'. Was this hit and miss, standard or what?
