Just like the title says:
Which current model Colt is the closest in spec to a semi-auto varient of the M16A2?

I have a post ban Colt that started out as a Match Target H-Bar that I rebarrelled with a Colt M16A2 gov't barrel in Sept. of 2004.
Colt does not currently offer anything close to the M16A2.
I've since sold the ACOG, it's back to a bare bones A2.

I agree that Colt does not currently offer anything close to the M16A2.
Colt have the Match Target HBAR models MT6601/ MT6601C (with muzzle brake) but they don't have the A2 flash suppressor and bayonet lug also they have heavy profile barrel (under the handguards) instead of gov't profile barrel.
I was looking for the same Colt model closest to the M16A2 back in Jan. 2005 but since they didn't have it I decided to put together a Match Target HBAR MT6601 lower half with a Colt M16A2 upper half.
Another way to do it is what Templar did just rebarrel a MT6601 with a Colt M16A2 gov't barrel assembly.
Templar's way is better because the upper and lower receivers' finish will match better, not mine, I have a Colt gray upper with a black finished lower.
