Up for sale is a classic Pre Ban Colt AR15 A2, chambered in 5.56 and featuring the sought-after 20" barrel. This is a true collector's piece that was lawfully possessed in Massachusetts when H4885 was enacted, making it fully compliant for transfer in MA. Notably, this early A2 model was produced before Colt started installing the non-removeable sear block, meaning it’s compatible with some of the best trigger upgrades on the market—a feature highly prized by enthusiasts and builders alike.
Also included is an original bayonet lug, a detail that sets this rifle apart from most other Pre Ban Colt ARs available today. The overall condition is excellent for its age, as shown in the photos of the exact rifle you’ll receive. The fit, finish, and classic design make this a standout for both collectors and anyone looking for a reliable, historically significant AR platform.
Everything functions as it should. As always, while we have inspected and function tested this rifle, we have not live-fired it. If you have any questions about this Pre Ban Colt AR15 A2 or need more photos, feel free to reach out to us!
