The lower receiver features the "Rampant Colt" and model markings on the left side of the magazine well and a right-handed, three-position selector marked "SAFE/SEMI/AUTO." The bolt catch has been modified without the paddle. Fitted with a ribbed six-hole carbine length handguard, A2 checkered pistol grip, and Rock River Arms telescoping stock.

Excellent, retaining 99% original matte grey finish on the upper receiver and 97% plus refurbished matte grey finish on the lower receiver. The furniture is very fine with light handling marks.
