I am very new to firearms collecting, but am very interested and really need some help. My understanding is there is an original Sporter II model 6500 with SN pre-fixes of SP, then there is the AR-15A2 Sporter II rifle with fixed stock and 20 inch barrel, then there is the AR-15A2 Carbine with collapsible stock, 16 inch barrel, and shortened forearm, then I won't even talk about the Tactical Carbine, Government Model, etc. The question is I have what I believe to be a pre-ban AR-15A2 marked Sporter II with an SP serial number, collapsible stock, short barrel, shortened forearm, flash hider, and bayonnet lug, so what gun do I really have, what is the model number, and what is it worth? I also have a gun given to me years ago that is labeled Cobray M12 in .380 auto with SN 12-00063XX and it is very similar to an Ingram MAC. Any information including value if any would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

to see where it fits. I think you probably have a R6520, but am not sure. Does it have a GC prefix on the serial number? Depending on condition and whether it has the sear block, the value can vary a lot.
