GREEN LABEL DESIGNATION

JR2093

ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A COLT DELTA H-BAR AR-15 AT A GUN SHOW. THE RIFLE WAS DESIGNATED AS GREEN LABEL. WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS MEAN? IS THERE ANY INDICATION OF THIS STATUS FROM THE SERIAL # OF THE GUN?

Can be modified with ANY AR-15 upper due to it's date of manufacture. Most desireable.

There is a list of the serial #s on the AR15.com and the biggerhammer sites.Post the # here and X out the last 2 digits.Include the prefix.cpermd

I believe that " green label" items are from the Colt Custom Shop

Nope,nothing to do with the Custom Shop.cpermd

I think the label term actually means the label on the box, the older colt Ar's, prebans I think had green labels, and new ones have blue labels.

And once again,there are no hard and fast rules at Colt.I have a blue label with both evil features and a sear block.Odd combo.cpermd

I'll be sure to pass along your experiences to the authors so they can change their publication.both evil features being? pistol grip/suppressorsuppressor/bayo lugsuppressor/collapsible stockAs I understand it, the blue label can have evrything but the unblocked sear. Green has unblocked and everything else.
