Vintage AR and Clone pic thread.....

[Renegade04]

I picked up this Colt AR-15, used, way back in 1981-82 (?) with an original Colt 3x20 scope. It's a model marked SP1, serial # range of SP128XXX, marked Colt's Firearms Division. Still looks like it's hardly been handled...

Very nice. I have a very nice 1981 SP1 Carbine myself.

I updated my GUU-5/P so now it actually has an A1 style lower (A Brownells blem), the GUUs were most often seen with no fence, partial fence, or A1 lowers. I think the non matching upper and lower really works for this carbine considering the frankengun heritage of the real USAF GUUs.



Also I had to do the UFO thing again



One that I did a while ago and I don't believe I ever posted here. Just having some fun.

So beautiful it hurts.

Those are nice. I like the lightness of an A1style rifle a lot but I've got a stripped A2 upper that may get turned into an A2 rifle at some point.

I’ll trade you a rifle for an A1 or earlier clone. I am desperate for something like a Colt SP1, been looking for years for a shooter. 4C53A086-D578-421D-AC53-A75DD3472CBC.jpg

I even named 'em... Des and Troy. You see, when you put them together, THEY DESTROY.

Top is an unfired SP1 from my birthyear, Bottom is an all minty Colt M-16A1 parts kit (with a D Stock) built on a Nodak lower- both I recently picked up on Gunbroker

If you don't mind me asking, what did it take to bring it home ballpark wise? Reason I'm asking is I'm in the market for one.

Yours looks awesome, and I know they feel even more awesome in the hands! Congrats, and hope to join the club one day

Nice! I would have gone with a blem partial fence lower instead if they had been on sale as cheaply as the A1 blems, but Black Friday had my cash going in all different directions so every dollar I could save counted haha.
I agree on the handling. For some reason it just *feels* like it handles better than my 727 style gun, even though the latter isn't much heavier.

Just playing with the Bipod and a Bayonet today.

i hear you , geissele drained my gun fund on black friday

that was an a2 lower that i worked over , i think i have more hours in that lower than any other build i've done.
