Introduced in 1996 this was intended to be Colt's long range premier AR15 varmint rifle, as it was fitted with an extra long heavy HBAR- type stainless steel match barrel. It is marked on top of the barrel, "MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR ELITE" with an A4 flat top upper receiver. Mounted with an Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20 variable zoom scope and a B-Square/Colt base. The receiver has the standard Colt factory markings on the left side of the magazine well and is fitted with a match grade trigger group. The handguard is all aluminum free-floating version with studs. Fitted with a standard checkered pistol grip and standard straight synthetic stock with butt trap.

Excellent with 95% plus original matte black finish remaining, small scattered scuffs, handling marks overall, and traces of visible edge wear. The grip and stock set are also excellent with some small scattered scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with clear optics.
