Back in the mid 80's I was living in Austin Texas, one day I was heading out of town up to Belton and stopped at McBrides and wound up buying a Colt CAR15 for $365. On the way out of town I stopped at a couple of North Austin pawn shops, one had a Colt factory nickle SP1 made for the Italian market and chambered in .222 (military caliber not allowed) for about the same price. To this day this is one of the deals I regret passing on. Oh and the other pawn show had a paratrooper FNC for about the same price, having just bought the CAR I talked myself out of the other two even though I had the money in pocket, you know what they say about hinesight. Except for the caliber that nickle SP1 would have made a sweet boat gun.
