A Pre-Ban Colt Sporter Match HBAR is a semi-automatic rifle made by Colt Manufacturing prior to the 1994 U.S. Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB). These rifles are sought after by collectors and shooters due to their build quality, historical significance, and lack of post-ban restrictions.

?? What \"Pre-Ban\" Means
\"Pre-ban\" refers to rifles manufactured before September 13, 1994, the date the Federal AWB went into effect.
During the ban, certain features (like flash hiders, bayonet lugs, collapsible stocks, etc.) were restricted on semi-auto rifles.
Pre-ban rifles could retain these features, increasing their desirability and value.
