Imagine securing an iconic, unmodified piece of genuine Hartford Colt history. Up for private sale is an exceptionally clean, investment-grade Pre-Ban Colt AR-15 A2 Government Carbine (Model R6520).

This is a highly coveted firearm, purchased brand new by the seller in late 1990 while assigned to the Pentagon during Colt's legendary "Green Label" era (Serial Prefix: GC 0103XX). This exceptional rifle has remained a meticulously cared for, one-owner firearm for its entire 36-year history. Colt manufactured the Model R6520 Government Carbine from 1988 until late 1994, when the Federal Assault Weapons Ban forced them to halt civilian production and switch to the restricted "Law Enforcement Only" marked models. The lower receiver features the iconic crisp factory stamping: "COLTS MFG CO INC, HARTFORD, CONN — USA" confirming its original Connecticut plant lineage. Includes two (2) 30-round aluminum magazines.

The Receiver Stamping Shield:
The receiver is factory-stamped "CAL .223". This provides a substantial legal buffer under various restrictive state statutes, while the barrel itself features a true military-grade chamber fully rated from the factory to fire high-pressure 5.56mm NATO and SS109/M855 Green Tip ammunition safely, reliably, and flawlessly.

Key Factory Specifications:
• Barrel: Original lightweight 16" pencil-profile barrel stamped with crisp, verified military proof marks: "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7" (signaling a factory-certified, magnetic-particle inspected barrel highly optimized from the factory for heavy grain match ammunition).
• Furniture: 100% original, pristine 6-vent-hole slim tubular "Tootsie Roll" style CAR-15 handguards and factory-correct smooth nylon 2-position collapsible "N1" buttstock.
• Upper: Iconic fixed A2 carrying handle with original military rear sight assembly.
• Lower: Contains Colt pinned sear block

Condition:
Used, excellent condition. This rifle has been a highly protected, single-owner safe queen. The finish is remarkably clean, the bore is bright with razor-sharp rifling, and all internal mechanics show very low wear. The alignment and takedown pins show zero finish wear, proving the rifle has rarely been disassembled. 100% factory original Colt parts throughout.
