fwiw, that pin doesn't look original in that pic.  the split seems to have a slight enlargement around it whereas my originals don't have that.

yeah i've seen a few different parked repros.  one has a lot shorter split, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the originals.  these pins are really hard to identify unless you have an original to compare it to.

These repos are different than the one in question, but closer to the originals I have seen.

What do you guys think on value for a 1973 Colt SP1 rifle, in 95%+ condition, all original parts and 4 Colt 20 rounders with metal followers? Local guy has one and is firm on $1200, which seems on the low end of fair for its age and condition, going by whats on gunbroker right now.

I paid that just last October for a 1971 SP1 in roughly the same condition in the original box with all the accessories, paperwork, and 2 mags. That price isn't bad at all if you want one and it's in original unmolested condition.

I see them at $1500 for nice examples for just the rifle and a mag.

I paid $1200 for a 1968 manufactured SP1 with NO box or magazines... But the rifle looks like it has been fired very little if at all.

I have a Colt Slickside upper that was painted with Norrels by the previous owner.  I am wanting to go with a nice 604 upper instead for my build.  Could anyone give please me a value on this upper?

Link Posted: 3/1/2015 3:35:03 PM EDT
[Last Edit: HipSh0T] [#9]
Before the appraisal...... Stripping the norrels will add to the value if the finish isn't destroyed underneath. I'd find out why it was stripped and bring it down to original finish to bring more money (IF there isn't issues under the Norrel's)

ETA -What a shame. Nice 604 resprayed....

Well that sucks.

I would pay that probably but it would have to be a nice one.

Do the uppers that match up with the lines on the lower go for more?

I paid $300 for that early 604 upper I just posted in that build thread, then add in another $100 for the correct early large square pad port door. $400+ for an upper, Hal143 paid $500 for an original 605 upper, 601, 602, early XM16E1 uppers fetching $300-$400+. I bought my 602 upper for $290.00 shipped in 2009 and that was stupid money back then, I can imagine it's prolly a $500.00 upper now with the large square pad port door.

Personal opinion: on my builds that I can get all correct parts on, I want it to be totally correct and right. On stuff where its not possible to get it totally correct, I'm ok with using repro uppers.

I would probably do that except that I did that with my 603 and I was less than satisfied.

I'm going to try to do a correct all Colt (except for the lower and barrel) this time.

I figure if I'm going to spend the money on a stamp and vinyl acetate stock I should just bite the bullet and build something to be proud of.

That was a nice one. Had a few paint chips, but easy to touch it up to hide those. Yeah, it sold right at where I said the bodies sell for $200-$250. I've never seen one for $400 but have seen minty assemblies for $350 plus shipping. It's a matter of time before they're $500. Go with the Essential Arms Aluminum CAR Stock for $150.00, you will be very happy with it. If you'd like to see what they look like, I can send you a pic.

Here's an EA stock with a Nodak receiver extension I bought a couple of months ago on the EE. It compares well with the original Colt that came on my SP1 Carbine.

Wondering about this one I recently bought.  Said it was a Martin Marietta upper.



Link Posted: 3/15/2015 6:04:05 AM EDT
[#33]
The "P" marking is an indicator that when the Upper was forged that it was made as part of a spares or parts run, that is was not Forged to be part of a completed rifle. This would basically mean that a "P" marked Upper was a "Spare Parts Upper".

The "M" marking would be the standard marking for Martin Marietta.

This would make the "PM" marked Uppers, spares that were forged by Martin Marietta, and then sent into the "USGI System" as replacement or rebuild parts. Examples of PM marked A1 uppers were sent to the Philipines to complete Elisco Rifles.    



Having said that, nice pick up and I'd appraise it at $160-$175 in today's A1/C7 market prices.

Considering selling this complete retro build. What's it worth???

Correct GM Upper with MP C Barrel.
GM Charging Handle, Bolt Hold Open, and Forward Assist.
Colt FA Bolt Carrier (has a "C:" on it) and Colt Bolt.
Colt FCG parts, but no FA parts.

80% receiver was reprofiled to the A1 configuration and engraved by Braceman.
Machined to 100% by myself on a CNC mill.
Anodized by US Anodizing. The anodizing was done to match the upper (black over gold).

Buyers market for complete builds but parting it out would get you around a grand. Maybe a little more, it's a tough one because you really have to be into the GM's to pay a premium for the parts. Colt stuff sells fast and you can put a number on just about every part A1 or older... Is the GM Hydro stuff worth more than Colt? Yes to some and no to others.

A friend of a friend recently found an authentic XM177 moderator in a stash of old parts. He can either turn it into the ATF or register it under the NFA as a silencer. These were legal to buy until the 70s, but the ATF stepped in and defined them as silencers as they moderate the sound and blast of carbines to resemble the signature of a full length battle rifle. He doesn't need it as he already has actual silencers, but we're wondering if it's viable to register it and pay the tax stamp to resell it to someone else. Is there a demand for these pieces, and if so what is the approximate value? I don't have a picture, but it looks like this one, but the parkerized (?) finish has worn off and its slightly polished.

$30-$35 for the stock body, depending on if the buffer tube is grey $15-$30 for the tube.

it's a preban lower, $600-$650 for the lower.  around $950-$1000 for the complete rifle if you advertise it as preban

Damn, I thought I got a decent deal but looks like I overpaid.

the ones with drainholes and L/R marked are the most common, ones in really nice shape are harder to find but not rare.

Have a pre-ban AR "Sporter II" Carbine fired a few times, looks to be mint.  It's a CA registered gun.  Any idea what the value is?  Thanks!

Need to know current value on this original XM148 grenade launcher sight. Please back up with any recent sales or auctions. I do NOT want "I think it's worth" answers. TIA.

Okay, I need to figure a possible value for a complete 90% Colt CAR15 set (less the Nodak Spud stripped 601 lower).  I was just forced to resign from my job for a health issue and the employer is fighting my unemployment. I am getting a lawyer, but that takes time.  Anyway here's what I need a value on, if I need to sell it, though hopefully it won't come to that . Just need info, for now.

Complete CAR-15 less stripped lower

-Early Colt square forge 604 upper (complete)
-Colt 6420 "Pencil barrel, 1/7" twist, 16"
-Colt flat slip ring
-Colt N marked Fiberite stock  with milspec tube, spring, and H buffer
-No name 6 hole handguards (look just like Colt)
-Colt 601 Bolt Carrier with full round key and Stag Arms chrome bolt
-Late model Colt charging handle
-LPK some Colt parts
-Colt A1 grip
Colt A1 flash hider
