What variants has Colt made in their Govt model rifles. Is there a source I can go to and see pictures of these rifles. I recently came across a Colt govt model and want to restore it the best I can to its factory configuration.

Here is another Colt but small front pin w\detent no block, had to be an m4gery project . This lower came with the Colt match trigger from Colt acurized rifle version with the 24" SS barrel www.colt.com/law/CAR.asp. Notice the shiney pins & the trigger. the complete trigger is polished to a mirror finnish. It has a smooth crisp break with no travel at all.

Try looking at www.biggerhammer.net in the M16/AR15 FAQ.

Here is a Colt #6550 Gov't RIFLE. It is my one and only "collector" and safe queen. Mint condition.

This model closely resembles the USMC A2. It has a 20" 1/7 barrel with "gov't" profile under the handguards. No sear block. Full circle carrier. LARGE front pivot holes, unlike the M16A2's. All the usual "evil" items...

It looks like your lower is from a 6550 RIFLE. That is good, as the rarer rifles have more value than the more plentiful carbines.

Technically you could add an A2 Gov't upper and no one would know it was a PARTS GUN but you... but not the most honest thing to do.

Want to sell it?

I found a matching upper for it and my buddy in Fl. supplied me with a BC so its complete. I want to thank Rmplstlskn for the pic. I was reading and is this a white label or green.

Sorry it's not for sale.
