In my safe rests a Colt AR-15, SP1, SN SP1289xx. It has the original 16" barrel with original round handguard, birdcage flash hider, 2 position aluminum vinyl acetate stock, slick side upper which is marked C M and lower marked Colt's Firearms Division. The barrel is marked C MP Chrome Bore, BCG marked C, hammer marked 10 and what appears to be an upside down horseshoe, an original A1(?) pistol grip and a Colt 3x20 scope with leather and red felt caps. I picked up this rifle, used, back around 1980/81. As it stands right now, I'd rate it in very good+ condition, with no rust, pitting or marks, other than a few light scuffs here and there.
Can anyone here give me a very accurate assessment on it, including value? I'd be wiling to post pics later if need be. Thanks in advance... jd |

However, a ballpark figure would be $1400-2000 for the rifle, and $250-400 for the scope. |

Request for appraisal: Excellent plus 1980s era all original Colt M-16A1 upper receiver separated from Colt full auto lower (9 million serial number range) purchased in private sale. Barrel marked MP Chrome Bore. Includes bolt carrier group and I also have the correct buttstock, spring and buffer (no receiver extension). Should have the pistol grip too. I never fired it and I think the original owner may have fired it just a few times. Some very minor blemishes on upper likely just from storage. Handguards are mint as is the original slip ring.

I'd be glad to get some better pics of the whole thing tomorrow, but it looks like the CE selectors shown in your ad from last year. I bought a few full auto selectors from a seller on eBay and this one came in the batch. It wasn't sold to me as anything other than a used selector, but I'm glad I didn't grind down the fin and use it in a retro build.   |

After researching/buying/more researching/posting earlier this year, i think it's time i'd ask. So what do u guys think 3 digits sp1's are worth now? The 3digit that went up for auction in may went for over $10k in RockIsland (IIRC that auction was linked on here somewhere). I've been offered quite a bit and i actually have it insured for $10k. I'll be keeping this one for a very long time. I know that values will fluctuate and will only be worth what it is to a collector. But would $10k be out of the question?
Here's mine: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/304266_SP1_data_base.html&page=6 |

Charlie, that is really clean. 3 digit SP1s are like any other "collectable" firearm: If auctioned, a collectable firearm will rise (or fall) to its market value. While I don't think your $10K insurance is excessive, it is really hard to tell without an auction to see what value it will rise to,
I sell real Estate, and market value is the intersection of what a willing seller is selling for and a will buyer is willing to pay for. With firearms, that is best gauged in an auction in the proper venue: Julia, etc. Personally, if I was rich, I would happily pay $9K to $10K for it. |

Thanks! I surely understand valueing these things at market. Just trying to make sure my personal estimated value is not an unreasonable number. Makes for a great conversation piece. One of the first Ar-15's in civilian hands. Great peice of Americana and Colt. Story of how and whom I got this from makes for even better conversation. To think I passed on this for two months over $200! Almost let this gem slip thru my hands.

Someone stated $600-$700, which I can tell you with certainty that the quote is on the low end. Decent kits without barrels are selling for that price. A complete original upper in the condition you describe will pull at least $800 at auction... and could sell for considerably more. There are few nice original kits or parts floating around, mos stuff you see is beat up and or rebuilt. The market is strong, and there are many old school guys looking to recreate the rifles they carried as young bucks. Sure, exceptiknal deals pop up from time to time in marketplace ect.... but they are quickly snatched up and flipped for a profit. |

Ok got a few new(to me) parts.
I was told this was an "M16 FCG" There are markings on the trigger but not the hammer. Also a Auto, no tick selector switch. There are no markings on the selector switch, at all. Are the trigger and hammer colt? And are they retro? Same goes for the selector switch. Thanks 
Looks like a C and a 7 to me.

No box or any other accessories. It does appear to have been fired but is in excellent condition. Thanks in advance. Made in 1979, so a later one. They are selling higher than they were, because unfortunately people are buying them to part them out: i.e. lowers to pre-ban states for $700, Upper assemblies $650, barrels alone $300-350. Market price is about $1,000 -$1,400 + or - depending on area of the country. You see some with fantasy price of $2400 onGunbroker, but unless it is a early one with dimpled parts and an Edgewater buffer, they are smoking crack. |

I have a pre ban SGW stop sign Olympic arms rifle that I'm picking up this weekend. The serial number on the lower is A2.U12** and CAR-AR marked on it as well. Barrel is marked SS 5.56 1X12, government profile. I assume that the SS stands for stainless steel barrel but the barrel does have a dark phosphate/milspec finish. Fixed A2 stock with the fixed carry handle upper(A2 I believe). Has the bayo lug, A2 FSB, and flash hider(assuming an A1 or A2). The flash hider is not one of the fixed flash hiders that was 3-4" long is just a standard A1 or A2. I cant tell the barrel length but it looks like a 16" but it has a shorter set of hand guards that look very similar to a Colt 6920 in style and in length. Grip on the lower has two grooves running vertically along the grip. Sorry for the lengthy description but photobucket refuses to work. I have not seen the rifle in person yet but its supposed to be, and according to the three pics I have, looks like its in 95% condition. Any info and a value would be appreciated.

If it were to be put on gunbroker there is a good chance it could bring a higher price. A lot depends on how bad someone needs it when it comes to early parts. The smarter guys will chime in soon. |

Please help appraise. I have 4 early 601-02 recessed checkering black pistol grips. Probably going to GB with them so that will probably tell the real stoyr, just don't want tp look to stupid if that's possible.
Condition varies IMO from at least very good to fair and I have an example of each. Nicest two measure 1.16inch and the other two with most wear measure 1.15inch. Will list best to worse IMO by pic top to bottom. Thanks in advance as these need a new home and one is promised to a member here in retroland already. As usual my dungeon pics blow and 2 MP camera has seen better days. Also should I clean and lube them or leave them in as found filthy condition. Gut says leave them alone. I've looked under very high magnification and see no evidence of green paint. Thanks.

Tech Com the upper stripped is worth a stripped A-2 Colt or FN IMO. I just saw one sell for $150 but not worth that to me stripped but I'm a cheapster too. Figure new C-7 is $150 plus shipping stripped when available and it's got to be worth what those are being yours is a true milspec replacement.

Probably minimum of $300 for a decent one and not collector grade either. Condition is key but stuff keeps going up. IMO well upwards of $200 minimum and that won't be pristine and more than likely stripped of it's original parts unless seller hasn't kept up with the changing times. $300 plus for a nice one would probably sell immediately with a BIN in auction setting. |

Seeking valuation of an early VP 602 barrel with cast FSB. No M marking, no 12, just an offstruck VP. FSB has E in circles on the sight housing. Original lock washer and 3 prong, original dimpled swivel, non-coated and roll pinned. Original finish throughout, a few scuffs and marks on the FSB but really in nice shape overall. Bore is nice and shiny with good rifling. 1:12 twist. .575" diameter forward of FSB, C marked at 12 oclock on barrel extension. Thanks for any help!
