ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A COLT DELTA H-BAR AR-15 AT A GUN SHOW. THE RIFLE WAS DESIGNATED AS GREEN LABEL. WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS MEAN? IS THERE ANY INDICATION OF THIS STATUS FROM THE SERIAL # OF THE GUN?

  Can be modified with ANY AR-15 upper due to it's date of manufacture. Most desireable.

  I believe that " green label" items are from the Colt Custom Shop

  I think the label term actually means the label on the box, the older colt Ar's, prebans I think had green labels, and new ones have blue labels.

  I'll be sure to pass along your experiences to the authors so they can change their publication.both evil features being? pistol grip/suppressorsuppressor/bayo lugsuppressor/collapsible stockAs I understand it, the blue label can have evrything but the unblocked sear. Green has unblocked and everything else.
