I just purchased a used Colt Match Target Ar-15. I'm trying to find out the year it was manufactured. Colt will tell me, but they want $50 to do so. Just wondering if anyone knew a different way to find out. Thanks
You might go over to AR15.com (there are a bunch of knowledgeable folk there) or search specifically for Colt Records and Dating.... Something may pop up
I got the numbers from 70 to 78. Pm me with the serial if you think it's that
old. If you bought it in a state where you didn't have to register you might
want to just buy the little booklet and keep the numbers to yourself. google
colt dates of manufacture by R.L. Wilson
