Preban Colt sp1 car-15

[Renegade04]

A serrated carrier is correct for that gun. Colt stopped making slick side carriers in the late 1960s.

This is true. My 1977 Colt SP1 (all original) has the serrated semi-auto carrier.

The barrel and stock on that gun are not Colt.

That is most likely a full size SP1 rifle that someone tried to convert to a carbine.

Gun is worth $1000 at best in that condition.

Indeed, first thing I noticed was the heavy barrel.

Plus the hand guards aren't from an earlier SP1

Well it might not be a preban but it's still a slick lookin shooter. I bet it will still turn some heads at the range, enjoy the rifle from your uncle.

The rifle in the OP is indeed preban

In my opinion, maybe the lower.

It should have an alloy buttstock with only two positions.
