1-letter and 4# – older receiver, but forgings. (Some are newer, POST ban castings – call to verify.)
2-letters & 4# – most receivers follow this pattern.
2#, 2 letters, 4# – the first two #’s are year of manufacture of the lower.
2 letters, 6# (separated 2 & 4 – e.g. SA 96 0000) – first 2 #’s are year of manufacture.
“ICR” marked lowers are an European customer’s overrun, has an unused additional hole – all ICR lowers are post ban.
- There were some odd variations and some custom serial numbers mixed in thru the years also. And, some receivers manufactured after the ban have the year stamp after the model name, not in the serial #. and if you don’t see a year stamp on the receiver, it is not necessarily pre-ban.
- Serial numbers that end in “D” were duplicates and one was changed using this letter.
- Recently some serial numbers have left with one or two letters followed by FIVE numbers. The last numbers are either 5’s or 0’s. 99.9% of these are post-ban.
- “Older” does not always mean pre-ban as per Corey Sattler.
- “BL” serial number series lowers are transitional with some pre and some post ban. If you have a “BL” you’ll have to call to verify for certain.

Colt Carbine R6521
This semi-automatic action was chambered in the .223 or the 5.56 NATO caliber and is a gas operated rotating bolt which sits in the aluminum receiver. Additionally, the feed system on the AR 15 is a box magazine with varying capacities and various aftermarket manufacturers. The AR 15 comes in a wide array of configurations usually weighing in the range of 5 to 9 pounds, and sport barrel lengths from 6.5 to 24 inches, depending on the intended use. Traditionally, the AR 15 was fitted with iron sights with the front site adjustable, but some models do have adjustable rear sights as well and other still have flattops, which are intended to have optics mounted on them. These rifles have a maximum effective range from about 300 - 500 yards. |
