PRE BAN Colt AR-15 A2 Government Model Rifle – 5.56 NATO – AR15 – C
This is a no reserve penny auction for a Colt AR-15 A2 Govt Model semi-automatic rifle in 5.56 NATO. Serial number – GS000802. This rifle is "PRE-BAN". This rifle is in great condition with a pristine bore and comes with one 30-round magazine. Features include an A2 stock (with trap door), 20" barrel with a 1:7 twist, and GS prefix serial number.
This Colt AR-15A2 Government Model is a highly sought-after, pre-ban rifle manufactured in late 1988 during the initial production run of the short-lived GS series. Designed as a semi-automatic civilian counterpart to the military’s M16A2, this model features iconic period-correct elements including, target sights, and a bayonet lug. Because Colt produced this specific configuration only between 1988 and 1990—well before the enactment of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban—low-serial-number examples like this one hold exceptional collector value and legal "pre-ban" status in restricted states where these features are otherwise heavily regulated. Please see photos for exact condition, and to fully appreciate!
