I picked up a Sporter Lightweight today. It's my first old Colt. Here is some pictures with my Colt M4

What do you all think?

Congrats on your new "old" Colt. May it be just the first of many.

Hard for me to reconcile the words "SPORTER" with "OLD COLT", I'm getting old.

Thanks. Aren't these from the 90s? I was in the military then. Always wanted one. Seen this one cheep so bought it. I hear people don't like these but also read and been told they are some of the most accurate and reliable Colts made. It's a lot lighter than my Socom M4. I'll have to try it out.

Thanks
Michael

Nice Pony... Seriously its a beautiful gun. If I had a gun like that I would leave it as is.

These are from the early 1990s (circa '90-'94). To me, any pre-ban Colt is well worth owning. I have four pre-ban Colts myself.

1977 Colt Sporter SP1

1981 Colt SP1 Carbine

1986 Colt AR-15 A2

1993 Colt Match HBAR (MH6601)
