Quoted: Hello there, I did not know where to post this thread so I went with Retro. I have a lead on a Colt SP1 registered receiver and I am not familiar with the people who did the conversion. The conversion was done by: [b]Eldridge Vance Greer/b]. If anyone has any info about these folks please let me know. Also what should I look for when determining whether the conversion was good or not. Thanks, Mark Iacovetta It could easily be a one off, as in a personal conversion, and that is the name of the guy that converted it for himself. Personally, I would not purchase a converted rifle without test firing it, or at least observing a video of it being fired. Good luck with it. |

I agree.
Since you wouldn't buy a car without test driving it, do the same. As this will cost the same as a nicer used car, the seller should let you fire it, Quality ammo, your mags. That being said there are M-16 smiths that can turn a sows ear into a sil\k purse. |

If the price is right you can always get it fixed. |

I've never heard that name and I've been in the NFA community a long time. But that's not surprising as every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a drill press or mill were doing conversions after they announced the FOPA and the coming manufacturing cut off.
And as already stated, If you can't inspect it in person, I would at least want to see a video of it running a couple of mags. |

Out of curiosity, is it a drilled receiver or a married DIAS?
