    Looks beautiful, and is certainly something that should be displayed (and shot!) proudly.

    So let's see...assuming I could find one in similar condition, what could one expect to pay for such a piece?

    Interesting... $189.50 in 1972 dollars adjust to $960.22 in 2007 dollars.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same... oh, that is one sweet rifle
    Please let me know if I have offended you...

    Exclamation

    Back in 1992, I came across an all original Colt SP1 /CAR-15 in semi, same exact condition as the one posted with the same scope. It was mint, the dealer had the box and everything and did not know a thing about the AR or its hisory, either with the previous owner or the Colt history behind it. It was a hunting type gun shop i.e mostly bolt actions,shotguns no black type rifles.Now hold on...the selling price was $700.00 and like an a&& I passed ...My shooting buddy at the time said the gun was old,used and did not lookl like the M-16A2 he used in the USMC. Looks like alot of headaches he said to me. Oh well...the moral is if you find something, and have the money to buy it, do it. These opportunities dry up quick. If nothing else, put a $50 holder on the item and think about it overnight or ask a few shooting buddies their opinion, this guy thought Oralites(mags) were great and his Norinco M1A type with the busted bolt could easily be repaired...

    My first memory of a Colt ad was the one with the farmer/rancher leaning up aginst the fence with the AR in his hand.
