I've held on to this for a number of years and it rarely gets used. This is a 100% Colt SP1 with A1 furniture and 20" barrel with A1 FH. Has a slab sided upper and lower. Asking because I am not sure of the value of this piece is. But, if I do sell I know that it's age will factor and as I'm at work I can't tell you what the serial # range is for that at this time.
Why am I considering this? Well I have other ARs and my interest are not really in the retro arena. I have a Recce type 16", an SBR, and a Kiss carbine that all get picked up before the SP1. There is some minor sentimentality tied to this weapon, but like I said it's minor. I was thinking that as I currently have a NDS A1 lower, if I want a retro A1 type AR I could easily build one by picking up one of the number of M16A1 uppers that are seen up for sale on TOS quite often, and I'd still have a good amount of $$$ left over to allow me to complete at least one other AR project (an SPRish/competition type AR I have conceptualized in my head). Any guideance on where I could find out how much my SP1 is worth would be greatly appreciated. Because of the little bit of sentiment tied to it, it's really only worth it to me if I get enough $$$ out of it. Because of all the fear surrounding the possibility of another ban I think that this may be the best time to sell (if ever).
Thanks
