LEAD PIPE Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I have an older colt hbar with a heavy barrel and a carry handle. I’m thinking about making it into a carbine. Can I just buy a complete upper from say aero and pop it on? can use my existing bolt correct. thanks Edited August 13, 2022 by LEAD PIPE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Yes. No issue at all. Are you in a restricted state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD PIPE Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I recently escaped CT and moved to Florida. Thanks for the response! I shot a lot of guns but don’t really know much about them, just handed them to an armor and they came back fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 It’s a pre ban that’ll bring you some good money. More than enough to buy a new one with an optic. It could also provide someone trapped behind the line a weapon. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Yes you can, but I would seriously consider taking it to an experienced firearms dealer and find out it’s worth to collectors. I think you could pick up a nice carbine plus have some additional pocket money if you chose to sell it. Just my opinion. I have an HBAR and modified it. I would have been money ahead if I had sold it instead. Edited August 14, 2022 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD PIPE Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 How would I know if it’s a pre ban for sure? I know nothing, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Somewhere on the web or at Colt there is a list by serial number of when the rifles were made. Made before x date is preban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD PIPE Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Although the serial number came back nothing found I’m pretty sure it’s post ban. It has no flash hider on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
