Caliber: 223 Rem
Finish: Black

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt AR-15 A2 with a 17¼-inch barrel in .223 Remington and a black finish represents a transitional yet highly desirable configuration within Colt’s civilian rifle lineup, blending classic A2 styling with a barrel length not commonly seen in mass-market production. Built around the time Colt refined its rifles to mirror the military’s M16A2 updates, this variant features hallmark A2 characteristics: a fixed carry handle with the robust, dual-aperture rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation; an A2 front sight post; a reinforced upper receiver; and the familiar ribbed, heat-resistant handguards that lock solidly around the barrel. The 17¼-inch barrel—slightly longer than the standard 16-inch civilian carbine yet shorter than the full-length 20-inch rifle—offers a uniquely balanced shooting experience, delivering improved dwell time and velocity over a carbine while preserving handiness and maneuverability.

Its contour often reflects traditional A2 government-profile geometry: lighter under the handguards and sturdier forward of the front sight base, contributing to good heat management and predictable harmonics. Chambered in .223 Remington, the rifle provides the mild recoil and flat trajectory that made the AR platform the quintessential American semi-automatic rifle, and the A2 stock and buffer system give it a smooth, steady recoil impulse favored by many traditionalists. The black-anodized receivers, phosphate-finished steel components, and Colt’s reputation for tight tolerances and quality control give the rifle a durable, authoritative appearance and the dependability expected of the brand. Controls remain pure AR: a right-side charging handle, a brass deflector, a forward assist, and a classic A2 pistol grip that anchors the shooter’s hand with familiar ergonomics. For collectors, the unusual barrel length adds rarity and interest; for shooters, it offers an exceptionally well-balanced feel, making the Colt AR-15 A2 17¼-inch a distinctive and capable rifle that stands between carbine agility and rifle steadiness—a sweet spot many enthusiasts find ideal for general-purpose shooting, training, and classic AR appreciation.
