Colt Delta Match Hbar (Modern Take!)

[Smpr Fi]

Ok, first off everything I did was purely cosmetic and can easily be returned to factory. I kept all the original parts!! Just wanted to have a little fun.

I have a Colt Sporter Match Hbar and have always liked the Colt Delta they sold, but they are very expensive and hard too find. So I thought I would build a modern take on that model, something Colt may release today if they wanted to build a upgraded 2019 Colt M16A2 Delta.

I added a Knights RAS M5 rail, GI sling, Cheek pad and Nikon 3x32 scope. Taking her out Saturday to see what she can do!

Sorry, trying to upload larger/clearer pics.

I took her out today and zeroed it at 100 yards, just over 1/2" groups!
The location we shoot at has steel targets at 650 yards 12" gong, 1,000 yards & 1,400 yards silhouette 12"x20" . After zeroing at 100 yards I decide to see what she could do at distance!

650 yards: I was on target within 3 shots after almost 1 full turn on the scope
1,000 yards: It required 1 full turn and I was on target within a few shots also
1,400 yards: I did 1 more full turn, I was by myself and saw impact a few times. Really needed a spotter, bringing the wife out tomorrow. Will post updates.

So far VERY impressed!

This is the inexpensive Colt Sporter HBAR you bought from a friend?

If so, you should take him out for beers!!

Yes, this is that said rifle! I did add the Knights rail and scope. But other than that, exactly how I purchased it from him.
