Thank you. The Colt M16A1 Reissue is based on the early 1967-1970 M16A1. That is the reason they provide the 3-prong and A1 FHs. The SP1 (originally released in 1963)is based on the Model 602 as the XM16E1 and M16A1 did not exist at the time. The XM16E1 did not come about until early 1964 and the M16A1 in Feb. 1967.
