I have a large pin Colt upper that I would like to mate to a Colt large pin lower.  Are the large pin lowers all pre-ban, mostly pre-ban or both?  Where is the best place to find one?  How much can I expect to pay?

All Colt civilian rifles/lowers are all large pin.

Not true.

I have had two pre bans that were small front pivot pin. I also know that Colt post ban rifles have gone back to the smaller front pivot pin.

All post-ban Colt Match Target lowers use a normal sized pivot pin but oversized trigger pins

All large pin lowers are Pre-ban. So you would need to find a pre-ban rifle to mate to the upper you now have. The ATF has recently decided there is no such thing as a stripped pre-ban lower. If it's stripped and changes ownership it looses it's pre-ban status.

Unless you're really attached to the lower you would be better off to sell it and buy a small pin upper then you could attach that to any post-ban rifle or pre-ban rifles other than Colt.
