| I just came across a strange, to me, AR. I was thinking about trying to pick it up, if I could get it cheap enough, and install the receiver on my A2 upper. I currently have it on a D.P.M.S lower. Now for the strange AR. It has Colt Target H Bar .223 on the lowerwith a serial number of PMH 0034XX. The upper has 7.62 X 39 stamped on it. It has 5 mags that look like a factory mod that are banana shaped like an AK mag. What is it? Factory or a pieced together AR? Any help would be appreciated. |

Yes, the mags are exactly like that one except his are longer. The upper is marked 7.62X39. Would this be a factory 7.62 with the lower marked .223? if its colt yes sounds like a colt 6830 upper. I have one. but you have a differnent lower. the colt lower says 762x39 as well ETA pic of mine

The rifle does not have the upper it left Colt with.
Colt marked the uppers they sold separately with 7.62x39 on the upper receiver. A factory Colt 7.62x39 AR15 will be the same as the one Shawnmt6601 posted pics of. The "Frankenmags" are regarded as some of the best 7.62x39 AR mags available. |

 Does anyone know if Colt ever made a 7.62 X 39 AR that would have had the .223 marked Colt lower, rather than the 7.62 marked lower, like in the picture above? I don't want to pay too much for this combo, if it isn't factory. Thank you in advance.no, they would never have done that dude the gun is not original. |
