which colt ar-15

[USMC MP James]

Being that I'm an old Marine which Colt Ar 15 would come the closest looks wise to a M16A2 service rifle? I had a match grade H-bar but I dont remember the thick barrel. I'm not interested in a M4 or anything like that. Thanks in advance

A 20" SP2 with triangular handguards maybe?

I have a Colt Model 603 upper (genuine, not a reproduction) with triangular handguards and 20" chrome lined pencil barrel for sale if you're interested. (no bcg or charging handle included)

You can build an exact copy today. Lot of "retro" parts around. Nodak spud makes different lowers based on the early rifles.

I took the easy route, a 20" HBAR and added retro furniture.

You can build one:

I don't know about a Colt, but a BCM 20" Gov't profile upper is about the closest you can find to a GI A2. They are one of the few who produce a 20" upper with the actual GI profile barrel, and with the mil-spec 1/7 twist rate. I don't know why everybody else is so stuck on those frickin heavy HBAR barrels. BCM is top-notch quality, as well. At least as good as Colt.

Thanks guys! The triangle front grip is for an A1 so I need the round grips. I will check up on the other manufacters but I really want a colt.
