I don't think the A2 version was called a "Sporter". The AR-15 that looked like an early M16 was called the Sporter 1 (SP1), and the M16A1 look-a-like (with forward assist) was called the Sporter II. But I thought the M16A2 look-a-like was just called the AR-15 A2 (or the AR-15 Government Model HBAR for the version with the Match barrel).

That's what my Gun Digests from the 80s say, at least...
