A Colt in .223 - it's a guess, but perhaps it was an AR-15.

"Colt 2234" should perhaps read "Colt 223 M4". Just a guess.

EXTREMELY tight tolerances for improved accuracy. Course you have to replace the barrel after every magazine.

It was a deadly .2234 which is notorious for it's ability to kill.

I'm guessing it's one similar to this; but likely a .223 as I have never heard of a .2234

A precision one. The extra 4 tenths was for better grouping.

Yes, it was a 223. Probably an M-16.

A Chinese .223 that had been shot 4 times?
