My son found this SP1 for sale in another state and purchased it from the Gun Shop. It is a Colt SP1 S/N 2601 which makes it the 100th SP1 built in 1965.

It came with one Colt 20 round magazine.

Other then the handling marks on the outside everything else appears to be Mint to As New Condition. The bore looks AS New.

The scope is Colt and has cross hairs. It is built in the USA, not Japan.

Beautiful SP1. He was right in buying that. I hope it got it at a decent price. Early 1960s SP1s are at a premium if they are 100% original. That one looks to be in great shape. Someone took great care of it.

It is 100% original. He got it for a Very Very Decent price.

Why not just say what the price was? Or does it add to the mystery by keeping it secret?

Also qualifies as C&R! Very cool.

1965 with a chrome bolt and park'd BCG. I thought the chromed BCG lasted longer... and the chromed bolt wasn't independent of the BCG.

Is the bolt marked with a "C"?

Cool as ****, What he paid is not only none of my business, I also don't care. I bet I would have paid the same.

Some of us don't like to say what we spent when we buy something expensive that is out of the norm.

This is my son's SP1 and he asked me not to post the purchase price. I can tell you that he did get a Very Very Good Deal on this SP1 with the Colt Scope. He also has the Original Colt Manual.

Truth. I suppose you might be targeted by internet thieves stalking members on the internet.

Very nice rifle md. I have minty 7xxx serial number SP1 and would love to have another early one like that to keep it company. Whatever your son paid is nobody’s business but his.

If we're being honest here, it most likely comes down to the fact that although his son paid a very, very decent price, it is still way more than what his son told his wife he paid and she is the one watching.

Beautiful example of a bygone era, thanks for sharing. I bet he paid full 1965 MSRP or higher. LOL

It shouldn't. Should have a faint "M" and "P".

Yes it does have an M & P done with an engraving gun. It is not faint. I tried to take a picture but the reflection from the chrome was too bright.

I was thinking more along the lines of you might not be comfortable saying what you paid because you might have either not been sure that it was a good price or been a higher price than than the people of the forum might think sensible.

Just a tip. I have a Colt SP1 and original Colt Scope. When you mount the scope do something to protect the underside of the carry handle because the scope mount will mar the finish. I would suggest a thin piece of leather so that the prongs of the mount don't dig into the metal and finish.

I could give a shit less if someone thinks I paid too much for something. I just find it comical that someone hints at an awesome score and then wants to keep the price a state secret as if there will be a nationwide search for the guy who sold it to him looking for the next great score.

Agreed, there is no point in saying you got a great deal, then refusing to say what the deal was. It simply sounds like internet whoring for attention. For the OP, tell your son to join up and post the pictures himself so he can tell the story.

Who cares what anyone else thinks. Good deal, bad deal, or regular deal, we are all willing to pay more for certain things that we have a want or need for.

I need a Mauser C96 safety, the places I've found have been dirt cheap, but out of stock. I would most certainly pay a higher price to get one, and I wouldn't care what anyone thought about it being an old pistol, or what the price was. I traded a $2500+ rifle for the C96, which means I paid over book value. It makes no difference to me if anyone thinks I'm not sensible. :D
