Colt AR question

[ralfabco]

I have one of the post 94 Colt lowers - Match Target.

I assume it has a sear block. AFAIK, these were the most emasculated Colt lowers you could buy ?



Almost every single Colt upper I see for sale, has a full auto BCG.
I would need a semi-carrier, to work with the lower ?

You can use any carrier

Negative, if it has the pinned sear block as illustrated in the picture below - a full auto bolt carrier will not work.

Those sear blocks are very hardened, to deter milling away.

Harder than a bulls balls. They can me machine and relieved for auto bolt carriers and Type I hammer use. Specialized Armament is the go to shop for Colt work.

Merely another example of the great many reasons to avoid Colt like the plague they are. Better options on the market, and they don't come standard with all the Colt headaches.
