Dream Gun: Colt AR-15A2 HBAR .223 Rem

Back in the 80’s when the AR-15 and M16 were going through several transitional versions like a teenager changes their clothing style, the HBAR by Colt was released. I remember as a young survivalist that the HBAR was simply, “cool!”

This is around the same time the Colt Combat Elite .45ACP came out and the Colt Delta 10mm 1911. Yeah, I was a Colt fanboy back then. Several Colt guns including the Python and Combat Commander remain on my “wish list”.

Today the HBAR can be bought or built. Why would someone take that path? Well, if the goal of a defensive firearm is to put rounds on target accurately in rapid succession – the HBAR with its 20″ barrel is an excellent choice. Running much heavier than a standard M4 or CAR-15, recoil is pretty much nothing. The longer barrel ensures maximum velocity. Recoil? Well, pretty much any AR has minimal recoil. Muzzle rise(different than recoil) is much better than a carbine variant.

So – I have not had an HBAR and I’ve never shot one. I’ve dreamt of having one though and that’s good enough, right?  I’ve read numerous articles about them back in the day. I’d really like to build one at some point as the original is just too expensive.

got HBAR?

Not yet.

  1. Well well well.I happen to own one of those puppies. I have two uppers for it. The long barrel version came with it’s own owner’s manual from Colt which certifies accuracy to 800 meters. I mostly used the 16″ barrel with it to blow up groundhogs when I was younger.

  2. I had an Eagle Arms HBAR years ago and used it in high power rifle competition. Very accurate, but I believe the Colt is a better rifle and all others are compared to Colt, as they set the standards for materials used, tolerances and so forth. Too bad I sold mine but life goes on. Last HBAR I saw was at a pawn shop not too long ago, ~$1100 if I remember correctly. A decent price these days for the benchmark that all the others are measured against. I like the M4 version as it is a bit shorter and lighter, guess I’m getting soft in my old age. So be it, always better to be realistic in expectations than my imagination conjuring up fantasy about my alleged abilities.

  3. I paid more than twice that for my Colt HBASR back in the 80s or early 90s. It was an expensive splurge for me at the time.

Hola a todo el mundo, planeo hacer una visita larga en un hotel burbuja cerca de Madrid y me gustaria saber que prestaciones extra suelen ofrecer estos sitios para que la experiencia sea bien repartida entre relax y esparcimiento durante varios dias. burbuja estrella polar murcia He leido que muchas burbujas incorporan comodidades basicas como jacuzzi o veladas romanticas, pero me genera preocupacion que no haya bastantes actividades o facilidades para conservar el entusiasmo en una estancia prolongada. ?Alguien tiene alguna experiencia con hoteles burbuja que incluya cosas como excursiones, talleres, o acceso a spas y gimnasios? ?Que otras opciones suelen estar habilitadas para no sentirse aburrido ni sentirse sin alternativas? He hallado un listado con servicios populares y algunos extras puntuales que me ha parecido relevante. Me seria de gran ayuda cualquier recomendacion o experiencia para preparar adecuadamente mi visita y sacar el mayor provecho. ?Mil gracias!

  7. Здравствуйте! Намереваюсь летом путешествие в Клагенфурт и мечтаю объединить прогулки на природе с знакомством с исторических мест. Хочется найти красивые живописные места, где можно подышать свежим воздухом, а также архитектурные памятники, которые расскажут о культурном наследии этого уголка. Уже отыскал несколько направлений с описаниями, которые выглядят интересными, вот, кстати, ссылка пляжи в вене . Было бы прекрасно услышать советы от тех, кто уже побывал в Клагенфурте: может, порекомендуете менее известные тропы, где можно уединиться с природой, или нетривиальные исторические места с интересными историями? Хочется составить маршрут, где будет правильное соотношение между активным отдыхом и познавательными экскурсиями. Заранее благодарен за советы!

  8. Здравствуйте господа! тампль Планирую в ближайшее время исследовать блошиные рынки в районе Монмартра и хотел бы иметь более чёткое представление об их специфике. Волнует, какие наименования товаров там обычно представлены: насколько рынок пригоден для поиска действительно уникальных и дорогих экземпляров антиквариата? Также беспокоит вопрос подлинности вещей и ценообразования — насколько вообще можно рассчитывать на корректность и каковы общие особенности продавцов? Буду признателен, если бывалые коллекционеры или торговцы смогут сообщить своими наблюдениями, а также дать ориентиры по наиболее перспективным местам для поиска интересных находок. Вдобавок прикладываю ссылку на некоторые снимки и описания коллекционеров, которые немного показывают ситуацию. Заранее спасибо всем, кто поможет и разъяснит в эти вопросы.
