Never wamred to the Sporter. I couldn’t see how eliminating the dust cover and forward assist could lower the price much. Especially when they ended up shipping with bolt carriers that had the forward assist notches machined in.

Now Colt has the Sporter II with forward assist, dust cover, and same low price.

Ruger’s AR-556 isn’t too shabby, either. A low priced alternative to their piston driven SR-556.

It still has that crappy Colt trigger. Spend a few extra bucks and get a Rock River.

At one time I owned 3 Colt H-Bars and one Sporter. I was forced to sell them along with over a hundred other guns because of financial difficulty.

I sure wish I could have saved one of the H-Bars. They were as fine a firearm as I have ever had and I have had a lot. Beautifully made, performed about as well as it was possible.

I cannot praise them enough.

Wow, sounds good. Then I read all the comments at GunsAmerica...

Still, pretty tempting.

".. it was extremely controversial in those early days."

Yeah, I guess: I mean if you can accept seeing some of the men dead around you with worthless, jammed-up rifles lying next to them. Damn M-16 was total piece of crap when we first got them.

Luckily, somebody back home made a ton of money.

I'd rather have one of these, available from Colt as a special order:

Gatling Guns

Once again, Colt is late to the party. Don’t own a Colt and probably never will.
