Good find and thanks for saving it. That is one of the earlier R6500s. The earliest ones had the slickside upper, some with A1 type uppers, and the later models had the A2 upper. The C7 type (A2 w/field sights) upper was used during the transition to the A2. I have one from 1987 that has the A2 upper. These are great shooting Colts.
