So pleased with my 20+ year old Colt HBAR.

Part of my intent with this post was to encourage younger (gadget oriented) shooters, or those new to the AR 15 bandwagon, to spend some time with the irons. I think many would be surprised how accurate, simple, and fun they are.

What I've noticed, for the most part, is an overall stagnation in the improvement
of AR barrel accuracy, since the advent of the Colt HBAR barrel. There's lighter,
shorter, stylish, etc, and perhaps in some cases , overall better, just not more accurate.

Nothing wrong with the iron sights on my nearly 30 year old Colt SP1. Can still reach out and make things happen at 200 yards if I do my part.

I remember those horrible Colt sear blocks. Can't they be driven out via arbor press (with attachment)? Of course, the lower should be fully supported to prevent it from warping (or worse, breaking).
