With that stamp on the magazine well, it's not pre-ban. It was either made during the ban era (1994-2004) or shortly after. Recent Gunbroker auctions show them from going from around $1000 up to $1500 depending on condition.

IIRC, the PM marked uppers were originally made for the government as spares but many were sold commercially in the 80s - 90s. I'd guess maybe $450 - $500 for the upper assembly with barrel.

What are the going rates for Colt M16A1 parts kits with original barrels, based on condition?

I came into possession a box of AR parts last year that included what I took to be an 'Nam era old timey chrome A1 BCG. Recently dug it out and was considering using it to replace the parked bolt in my A1 clone.
Poking around the Retrofblackrifle website, I now believe that it predates the A1 model as it looks to be the spitting image of the Armalite AR15/601/602 bolts depicted there - only with a modified light head firing pin.
Any idea what a complete bolt of this vintage is worth these days?

Posted this on a picture thread and now I’m kinda curious to the value since I can’t find much information on them.

ARMS-M16A1A2 weaver rail. One side is marked Colt with the Colt pony.

Trying to figure out what these barrels are worth?  Colt chrome lined, ive had them for about 20 yr. Small “29” stamped under Handguard near FSB. What other pics needed for valuation? I also have a few A1 receivers, slick side and forward assist, finish is pretty wore on receivers, just trying to get close on price.
Thanks in advance.

Colt 6 hole handguards - left side set is in really nice shape, almost NOS on the outside, right side set has the BTDT look, pretty beat but still gtg

Early NO HOLE set that has some wear on outside and a little glue/goo across the two sides near the gas block end.  I would imagine this would come off with some solvent but I am going to leave that to the new owner.  No cracks or broken teeth at all, really good shape

The carrier is worth $150ish. Look up user MachineHead in the EE (just search Retro). I believe the firing pin is worth around $125-175. Not exactly sure where in the range it is right now.

What would be the value of really nice condition (virtually no wear evident) SP1 upper with A1 port door, but no rear sight. C M forge marks. How much would the presence of a rear sight add to the value? Thanks.

I have what appears to be a Hydramatic upper with the hallmark forging flash, forge blisters, rebated lugs and machining marks.  Condition is fair to good, some dings and scratches, it also appears to have been painted black.  Hard for me to value this given its condition, but Hydramatics have also gotten more scarce.  Thoughts on value?

This is an FN surplus M16 upper. I'm curious as to the "O" tool mark on the rear of the brass deflector, and if this adds any value to the item. So far I have been unable to find any info on it.

There has been a box of .308 “reference” ammo on Gun Broker for over a year listed at about $168, and it has not sold.  So they are probably worth less than that. The problem with “reference” ammo is that I believe the ammo itself looks just like standard ammo, only the box is special.  About a year ago I saw a dealer selling empty “reference” boxes.

Approximate price for late 66ish round forge XM16E1 complete upper. It has an mp12 marked barrel, usgi 3 prong fh, no drain hole fsb, no drain hole hg’s, an early bend tube, and a transitional bcg with chrome gas key with round stakes a parked carrier flathead fp repro milled fprp and mp marked bolt. I would be selling it as mostly a collectors piece as it keyholes.

I paid $1000 for my mid 60’s Colt upper it’s a round forge, black rebated front lug, no forge code upper, with early no drain hole hand guards, Phosphate BCG, later bend gas tube and a later barrel and front sight post (74ish) (I’ve since put an M VP 12 barrel assembly on it)

Also for reference an MP 12 barrel and front sight post just sold on GB last week for $1200 but it looked like it was in good shape.  

Do you have any pics? Also are you sure it’s the barrel making it keyhole and not the ammo?

I have an SP1 Ser # 08XXX from 1967. My father purchased it in 1967 and gave it to me when I was 12-years old. Recently I learned about the possible value and rarity, and determined it would be better for a collector to have than for me to keep. The rifle is in great condition and all original with less than 800 round shot through it. We have the original box with a few tears, the original sling, original cleaning kit in the bag, original owners manual, and the two original magazines. The only item missing is the magazine stops to limit the magazines to 5-round capacities. We are currently waiting on a Colt archive letter to add to the collection.

So what is an estimated value of such a firearm and what is the best way to find the appropriate collector for such a gem.

And How do I add a picture?

What's the going price for a Colt Canada (not Diemaco- does not have the raised "D" but does have the CAGE code) carry handle with the A1-style rear sight nowadays? It's in great condition, little to no wear at all.

I did a quick search of ended/completed auctions on gunbroker for a 1967 Colt SP1 and there are currently 3 auctions listed 1 of them had zero bids, another one sold for $2501, the other one sold for $5823

As far as uploading photos you have to use an image hosting site a lot of us use Imgur (it’s free) copy the direct link to the photo, then at the top of the text box when you post here there is a button that looks like mountains click that and paste the link into the box that pops up

So I've got these two I may sell. Top is NOS barrel marked C MP Chrome Bore. Bottom has some wear, marked C MP C, no bolt and that gray ch doesn't go with it. Gun Broker is all over the place. What says y'all?

A1 stripped upper.  C H forge codes.  I don't think it has ever been assembled before.  What is Fair Market Value in today's market?  Is this a Colt part (or a Colt subcontractor)?  Pricing as fair for a friend of a friend, not top dollar or doing a favor price.



Closed GB auctions show really 1 source of recent sales that appear to be brand new manufacture, black finish.  Usually going for the $129.99 BIN (plus shipping and tax).  I think I picked this up at a gun show for around $75 a couple years ago.

What say you for value?

It depends on the type (photos would be great!) but as they still make them, prices are usually in the $100-$175 range.
