I've owned this for the last 21 years. Serial number is SP30xxx which makes it a 73' (I think). Everything is Colt but I'm not sure it is all original.

That is actually one of my favorite rifles.
When I was a kid in the 70s those SP1s were "it" as far as my Dad and his shooting buddies were concerned. I may have lusted after the FALs and G3s in magazines, but the SP1 was what we were all shooting at the range.
The fact that the similar looking 16A1 dominated movies and TV shows like SWAT just made it that much more iconic for me.

Interesting find. I Came across this a while back but forgot I took pictures until I decided to clean up my phone.
Id explain the make and all but it's pretty self-explanatory... Roll marks galore.:laugh: Big RP stands for the Republic of the Philippines though.
