Description:
Experience a piece of firearms history with the pre-ban Colt AR-15 Government Carbine, model R6520, a highly sought-after semi-automatic rifle produced before the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Renowned for its lightweight design, reliability, and iconic Colt craftsmanship, this carbine is a prized addition for collectors and enthusiasts, especially in states with restrictive firearms regulations.

Key Features:

  • Barrel: 16-inch lightweight barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing modern 5.56mm projectiles. Features a birdcage flash hider for reduced muzzle flash.

Historical Significance:
Manufactured primarily between 1988 and 1990, the Colt R6520 Government Carbine carries the coveted “pre-ban” status, making it exempt from certain state-level restrictions in places like New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. 

Performance & Versatility:
The R6520’s compact 16-inch barrel and lightweight construction make it an excellent choice for tactical applications, home defense, or range use. Its straight-line recoil design minimizes muzzle rise, ensuring rapid follow-up shots and enhanced control during sustained fire. Whether you’re a collector preserving a piece of Colt heritage or an operator valuing its proven reliability, this carbine delivers.

Own a Legend:
