I had one of the first HBARs made back in the 1980s. It did not have that "fence" around the mag release. The barrel was chromed, and in spite of the trigger being rough. it is still the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.

I bought my Sporter Match HBAR in January of 1991, and I believe mine was made in 1990. Serial #008xxx, it also has what is basically a SP1 lower with no fence.

I got rid of it a few years ago. Another mistake I have made. WD |

I may change my mind later and try to sell it again. |

In the 90s i worked with a guy that shot a custom AR in high power matches, he didn’t believe me when I told him how accurate my chrome lined off the shelf AR was… even with regular M193 ball ammo. I miss that old Colt. |

I have a 20" chrome lined A2 HBAR that absolutely loves 90's vintage Lake City 193.
If I had to make a life or death shot out to about 440 with a .556 gun, I'd use it with no hesitation. |

The only Colt barrel that wasn’t chromed was the competition h bar 1/9.
