do they both have the HBAR? if so the sporter is just the same gun but is a preban version

did you check under the handgaurds to?

ETA i miss read your OP. the sprter Target will have the A2 profile barrle. the other is a HBAR. you can tell by how heavy they are and the profile under the handgaurds

The Sporter Target has a government (A2) profile barrel, not a heavy barrel. They both have shaved bayonet lugs.

OK, they are both preban, one is from before the so called 1st ban, its has the HBAR, and a flash hider and a bayonet lug, the other has all but the lug correct? the one without the lug is before the 94 ban. its the same gun other than that. Just a differnt name to mark the change

The three I own (all low serial number) all have shaved lugs. I believe the Sporter Targets were made during the timeframe ('89 - '94) when Colt had deleted the bayonet lug from all their civilian rifles. They replaced the AR15 Government Model.
