Take a picture of the A1 SP1. Then sell it to me. For not a lot of money. Please?

I''ll talk to my dad. I can't take a picture of the SP1 right now, the shop is locked. My dad was kind enought to late me take out the Jager though, so that's why I have it handy.

And I figure the SP1 would go for $700-$800. It's in great shape and has an early serial number. We can't track it down in year quite yet, but we figure it was made in the early '70s.

Grr, damn camera won't work on computer for some reason. Jager pics'll have to wait. :o

800 dollars is a godsend for an SP1! It hasn't been New Yorkerized has it? Did you remove the evil barrel shrouds or the stocks with the thing that goes up?

It's all original. My dad'll likely sell it on Gunbroker, so if he puts it up I'll send you the link.

He sells them through a guy he's friends with, username is Tipup1.

I'll buy that SP1 for 800. It's a steal

Gunmaster45 08-01-2009 02:31 AM

On Gunbroker it could go for much more, so don't get your hopes TOO high. ;)

Bad news. My dad had accidentally priced it under the wrong gun in his book so the running price was actually. $1,400 off the rack. So my bad.

You won't have to worry about it though because someone bought it today. I got to shoot it before it left though, it put out a good 1" group. The chamber was lubed too much though (causing extra friction in cycling and more recoil) so the charging handle latch got unhooked and the charging handle smacked me in the nose. My dad put old the old triangular forend on it and it was out the door. :(

I also shot the two HBAR A2s. One I realized has no magazine fencing on the lower, but it was clearly marked AR-15 A2 Sporter HBAR, so I wonder if magazine fencing isn't the best ID of an SP1 lower...

The one with the Miculek muzzle break was lots of fun to shoot, no kick and very accurate.

Yeah a lot of the Civvy Colts don't have the fencing, or the notches where the selector switch stops. Still, they's good AR-15s. I've been thinking about getting an A2 that still has the A1 sight instead of having to search for a full A1 upper.

What is that, a Model 715 upper?
