Guys I lost my brother back in April and as a result I now have 5 of his guns. I'm gun savvy with all of them except this Colt AR15 A2 Sporter II serial # SP 32****. The shooting range manager where I shoot says all internals in the lower and upper are Colt and that the gun is pre ban. the upper he says looks to be a 6500 carbine, but there is no shell deflector? I never shot an AR and was gonna sell it but yesterday I tried it out and its a great gun very light & accurate. So I'll be keeping it. I hope these pic's will help I.D. just what model I have, the range mgr. thinks it could be a rare duck. Any help would be most welcome. Split66 said,It looks like a "transistional" Colt 6420. Seems there was a period in the mid 80s where the Colts had the A2 lower and A1 sights. And maybe Scotty Ryan could help nail down the I.D., Thanks guys!

So sorry about your brother. There is nothing like a Colt AR no matter which model. Treasure the rifle.
