Here are some photo of the staking:

If a carbine, it did not leave Hartford without being staked. So someone either swapped stocks for a modern 4-POS RE or it’s a parts gun. I suspect the latter. Not undesirable, as it’s a transferable Colt A2 lower. But from a collectability standpoint it has a few black eyes. I would not pay any premium for that. I personally would not pay much more than FMV for a garden variety Colt m16a rifle for that particular Colt. If it did start life as a m16a2 rifle, some of it’s collectibility has been lost as a result of it no longer being in the configuration from which it left Colt.
Bottom line, don’t pay top dollar.
