TROY BATTLE SIGHTS – This is one area I seem unable to try something different. TROY BATTLESIGHT, REAR SIGHT, FOLDING, DI-OPTIC APERTURE (DOA) WHITE OAK ARMAMENT 16 STAINLESS STEEL MATCH GRADE BARREL Basically I selected whatever stripped upper had the highest rating and was in stock at Brownells. I did not put much thought in to my stripped upper receiver selection. Because of this color matching issue it was a given that the stripped upper would be sent out for refinishing. My Colt Match Target HBAR Sporter being old school is not a “Black Rifle” in fact it’s a grayish blue anodizing. I could completely modernize this classic Colt Sporter. To that end I was surprised to learn that I could in fact modify my Colt Sporter because it was considered “Preban” and it was a “Registered Assault Rifle”. Sure I bought stuff all the time from the catalog houses like Brownells but I hadnt really “Got into it”. Up until this time I had not really used the internet for information on firearms. Then in 2008 a friend was in the market for an AR15 and I decided to do a bit of research. Over the years my Colt Sporter performed flawlessly in it’s stock form. Not that there were many options at the time. The AWB limited what could be done to an AR15 to improve performance and handling. A few years later my home state imposed an Assault Weapon Ban in advance of the federal version. I originally purchased the Colt Match Target HBAR Sporter in the early 1990’s for a little over $650.
