I'd also send a second upper in to be finished at the same time so I can have another color matching upper to swap onto the lower. So I'm thinking of tearing it down and having the upper and lower refinished to match each other. My understanding is that this color mismatch is not unusual for Colts built around this time (slick slide lower just like the photos linked above). The upper is darker but still not a match to any new upper/lower receiver. The lower is more like a parkerized grey rather than the more modern black you commonly see. Also, the color of the upper receiver finish is definitely darker than the lower receiver. I happen to own one and while it is is great shape it has a few nicks in the lower and upper receivers that have been touched up with what looks like black paint (I'm the second owner). On the topic of restoring an original Colt AR Sporter II. I have heard the hammer or trigger pin on these are a different size as well. Any advise on finding a original big hole A2 upper. I know the value would be more if it was original, but what do you all think the value would be as is.ДЄlso, I looked through the swap shop here and saw some A1 uppers, but no A2 big hole uppers. The rifle is in descent shape, shows some wear and needs a good cleaning. Looks like its a small hole upper, with an big hole / small hole adapter pin being used. He purchased a Colt M4 upper (C, AF, and M4 stamps) and replaced the original upper ( He sold the original upper to fund the new one).

The gentleman I purchased it from, bought it new in 1988 and ( I have the original manual and sales receipt) he said about 7 - 10 years ago decided he wanted a flat top. I recently purchased a Colt AR-15 A2 Sporter II. I do have a question about a Colt AR value and some options on returning it back to original. Been viewing the forum off and on for years. For this purpose it is modified with several holes drilled in the side, which are used to pin spacers in place to hold the smaller 9mm magazine in the standard 5.56mm magazine well.Hey guys, new here.

The full fence lower (both A1 and A2) is also the receiver used on Colt's 9mm SMG. However, due to the difficulty in identifying them from a distance and the fact that different manufacturers use slightly different designs (such as strengthening around only the front push pin or omitting the selector markings on the right side of the weapon), these have been treated as one variant for the purpose of identification. The design of this lower was upgraded with the adoption of the M16A2 featuring strengthening around the front and rear receiver push pins and fire selector marking on the right side of the receiver. It can be identified by the raised fence around the magazine release button on the right side of the weapon which is designed to lessen the chances of accidentally releasing the magazine. The full fence lower is the standard receiver used on all AR-15s since the M16A1. The preferred term for identification, be it the model name or simply the model number, is highlighted in bold. Due to the large number of companies that make AR-15 pattern rifles that are nearly indistinguishable from the original variants, all rifles should be identified using Colt terminology in the absences of any information to the contrary, such as unique parts or visible receiver markings. This is not a complete list of all variants produced by Colt, and only contains those variants that have appeared in media. This page is intended as a guide to identify the various Colt manufactured M16 variants and derivatives.
