Description

The Colt CAR-A3 HBAR Elite is a precision-built rifle designed for accuracy and long-range performance. Chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223, this model features a heavy stainless-steel 24" barrel with a 1:9 twist rate, making it ideal for target shooting, varmint hunting, and benchrest applications. The HBAR (Heavy Barrel) design minimizes barrel whip and heat distortion, delivering consistent accuracy shot after shot.

This example includes a free-float style handguard, flat-top upper receiver for easy optics mounting, and a bipod for added stability at the range. The fixed stock provides a solid shooting platform, while Colt’s forged receiver set ensures durability and reliability.

For shooters looking for a factory-built Colt with serious precision potential, the CAR-A3 HBAR Elite is a standout option. Its stainless barrel and classic design combine Colt’s reputation for reliability with the accuracy of a dedicated precision rifle.
