The lower is rollmarked with the Colt logo and CAR-A3 HBAR ELITE model designation, with Colt's Hartford, Conn., U.S.A. markings on the right side.
The free-float round aluminum handguard has longitudinal grooves for grip and twin underside studs. An A-frame gas block sits at the front. No sights are included.
This AR-15 platform uses a semi-automatic, direct-impingement action with a selector safety. It is configured with a fixed A2 stock featuring a rear sling swivel and an A2 pistol grip, all in black. Capacity is 5+1, and the rifle is made in the United States.
The receivers are forged aluminum with a hard-coat anodized black finish. Markings include a lower marked .223 and a barrel marked 5.56 NATO, as noted in the item details.
