AR 15 A2 Hbar Sporter Delta Elite from 1989, product code R 6600 DH
When this model came out, I was only 20 and broke so I could only dream of it.
20 years later, in 2009, I saw an add for a complete model with aluminium case and all accessories, so I fulfilled that old dream and snatched it.
The Delta Elite came in an aluminium case, with the Tasco 3-9 rubber coated scope, the cheek piece, a leather sling (crappy one that fell apart) a Delta Elite emblem on the grip (crappy sticker).
Urban legend says barrels were hand picked for accuracy.
I changed the grips for a regular Colt one, drilled the holes and hot glued medallions from a 1911 Delta Elite. Much nicer now.
I've used it quite a bit and it's a very nice rifle. I later added the Harris bipod. Considering a better trigger too (Geissele?).
