^ I have one very similar to that purchased new about that same time frame (From Bradis for ~$700). The ones made right before the Clinton assault weapon ban came with a blue label box. My bayonet mount is cut off, the shelf behind the safety pinned with a steel block (pulled it out using pliers and lost it), the bottom rear of the bolt carrier whacked off & it has large trigger / fire control assembly pins & ONE stinking 5 round modified 20 rnd mag. All part of Colt's pre-emptive-gotta-still-be-able-to-sell-rifles-after-the-ban effort.
I've seen them on gun show vendor tables priced at ~$2300 but never saw anyone walk away with one.
