I think that's a early one with the 2 letter prefix. Green label? There are different models and date ranges. What's the upper look like?

 

[keithhernadez]

As far as the upper what would you like to know? I know My post is vague I'm just looking to find out how old value. Thank you for welcoming me

Lets see the other side, Keith.

I can get one one in a little bit also in the mag well front is a Z

Barrel length?
fixed carry handle?
colapsible stock?

im not an appraiser. Your better off searching online. Check out gunbroker
i think yours was made:
between 1988 and 1990

 

[Trigger Time]

That's a model 6550

 

[Trigger Time]

Without the original box If it was in great condition (I'm guess in here), $1500 ?

that paint will turn off a collector. You'll get $1k out of it I'm sure.

this is a "pre-ban" gun which in Indiana and most states doesn't mean dick. In places like California and New York it does. It means they're able to be purchased I believe. You'll get more online nationally than localy

 

[Trigger Time]

Looks like someone has replaced the original screw type take down pin. Not a plus for a collector

I agree with Trigger Time, if you had a $1000 dollar offer here locally you should take it. A 20 inch fixed carry handle AR doesn't appeal to many people anymore. Most guys want an M4, and in that $1000 dollar range you can get a Colt 6920 which in today's market is more valuable. In fact if you haven't bought it, I'm not sure that I would. I don't drink the Colt kool-aid, I think there are much better AR's on the market.

Lets see the other side, Keith.

My guess is, it's a "slab side".

 

[Trigger Time]

My guess is, it's a "slab side".

Like an sp1? Possibly. Which really lowers the desirability of it even more like you were saying

Meaning no "fence" around the mag release button. Plus, that non removable carry handle really takes away from it.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yep. Bgf has one (had) on consignment. Some idiot wanted way too much

 

[keithhernadez]

No the stock is not collapsible fixed carry handle and I believe barrel length is 20

 

[keithhernadez]

I was just going to have it as a collection item. I have an ar that I use for regular shooting
