I sold this AR about 4 years ago.....and still regret getting rid of it.

1964 Colt SP-1. It had the Edgewood buffer in it, chrome bolt, solid firing pin retaining pin (that had broken), and was in about 98%-99%, super clean rifle.

All because of your AK habit, right? I keep telling people they are bad for you. ;)

You need to post pics of your M-14.

Seriously.

Yeah, no sympathy here for a guy with an M-14 with the "happy switch"!

I too sold a 1974 SP1 about 4 years ago and have regretted it every time I pick up one and drool on that "Old School" rifle.

But yours was even nicer!!!! (Feel worse now? :p )

that actually sounds reasonable for a pre ban Colt during the AWB.

Did I understand you right? Did the crhrome bolt come factory? That must be one of the very first SP1s. I love old school Colts. thanks for sharing.

Yep, factory chrome bolt. Non chromed barrel.

Serial # is under 2000, so yeah, it was a very early one.

That's exactly why I don't believe in sellling my guns, only in buying them! ;) Great photos, thanks for sharing them.

I was in VA Arms today and they've got one from '65 on consignment that is in perfect condition.

I don't shoot my SP-1 all that much, but its one of the last weapons I would want to sell.

You guy's are bringing back sad memories!:( Have let 3 SP1's go over the years.
I'd Love to have 2 of them back. Neither being near as nice or old as Templar's.:p
