It is a Colt AR15 A3, serial number began with LBD 0223 (forgot the last two digits). The other side of the receiver is stamped "For military, law enforcement and export use only". I wanted to take a few pics, but the owner of the LGS wouldn't let me. It has a flat topped receiver and a regular front sight, with a pop up peep for a rear sight. He stated that it was a PD turn in. Not in the best of shape, but looks to be mechanically sound. Where do I find Colt Markings on the bolt and barrel? He wants $650.00 for it, so I gave him a deposit and he will holt it for me until Tuesday. What can anyone tell me about the age, etc of this rifle and if its worth the $650.00?

ARs are hot right now. Colts are solid, often selling for 1k+ right now. It's condition, condition, condition if the wear areas look good... I'd say it's a good deal... I'd go for.

This.

Buy it !!!

You’ll be alright for six fiddy

If it's in any kind of decent condition that would be a good buy.

That's a deal.

If it’s a mil spec Colt barrel, it will be marked CMP 1/7 on the top of the barrel between the front sight and the flash hider. The barrel will be chrome lined.

It's outrageous!
Give me their number and I'll call and set them straight...

So, retired3100, did you pick it up?

Yes I did. It's got a litle wear on its finish, probably from being in the trunk of a cruiser, but it looks perfectly excellent, mechanically. Now, I need to find a range near me. And, yes, it has its original Colt mil-spec barrel.

I'll give you $700 for it.
Great buy.

You did just fine with that purchase! Congratulations!

I'll go $750.

Will you post a couple pictures? If it is functional, and even mostly Colt parts, it was a steal at that price. Congrats

Hope you wore a mask. Thief

I really hate to tell you this, but, you did so well on that deal that you'd better be sure you have a receipt because it looks to me like you stole it!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. As has already been said, you got a great deal on a very cool rifle
