Ar15 Id Help

[Bailey Guns]

Thanks Buck that answers all my questions. One more question--Does this model have that sear block thing? Again Thank you all for your comments. Yep I'm a Hoosier but I betcha Byte Stryke will cut me some slack. LOL Again thanks for the welcome and help.

Yes...it probably does if it was made post 89. It's easy to look...just swing the upper receiver open and look behind the hammer. If there's a black piece of steel filling the void behind the hammer, that's the sear block.

It'll look like this if it's blocked:

Bailey I am looking at my AR as I type this and there is nothing behind the hammer, no through pin or bind pin as your pic shows. There is nothing in the space between the hammer and the break down pin. It appears there was never a block as there is no holes in the receiver to accept a through pin or a bind pin. I know pics help a lot but I can't get this older computer to co-operate. If I can I will send a pic. Is this gun legal?. I guess this was made before 89. Bailey thanks for the help

It is a Colt AR15-A2 Gov. Model---Just don't know how old it is.

I'm guessing it was made right around 89 or 90. The tip-off is there is no bayonet lug. And they started putting sear blocks in right around 1990.

You can call Colt with the SN of the rifle and they'll tell you when it was made.
