Yep Little things like that rare firing pin retaining pin, etc are things that collectors are going to want to see |

Got a couple more items I'd like to add: GI M16A1 replacement barrel new with wick still in bore: SAK MP CHROME BORE. Made by Saco-Lowel who made m-60's. Colt model 653 C MP CHROME BORE 14.5 inch barrel. Still sealed in the mylar package. Purchased this from a member BUBBAGUNS about 15 years ago if memory serves. Thanks, Larry Also downsizing collection and would like to pass the SP1 and these barrels fairly for members here. |

Edit: nevermind, it's getting cerakoted. M16A1 upper that is a brass or bronze color. Looks unused, the seller said it was NOS. I can't see any markings on it. I put on top of 2 CH marked uppers for the pics, both grey and a black one at the top. I oiled it and scrubbed with soapy water and it didn't change it. Is it worth more un-messed with? Otherwise I'll norell's or cerakote it or maybe make an Elisco clone lower with a worn finish. I remember seeing similar ones, but can't remember the story on them. Any insight is appreciated.    |

Hello, I recently inherited this colt AR-15 sp1. ~5000 serial. It's from my grandfather and I remember he said he bought it while he was in the Navy. Other than that I don't know anything about it. It has a bunch of accessories and some paperwork. Any help on value would be greatly appreciated. https://i.postimg.cc/sDxmffsQ/PXL-20230114-223252851-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y0q3WMFP/PXL-20230114-223545363-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/qMFLNfvm/PXL-20230114-223558098-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bJRgrsZb/PXL-20230115-061116689-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wxV4TbNP/PXL-20230115-061238308-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y978t1CM/PXL-20230115-061325290-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/DfB5K4k3/PXL-20230115-061624846-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fbnfvxXm/PXL-20230115-061805724.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4xh1t8KX/PXL-20230115-062357315.jpg |

That's in the ballpark of what I paid when I sourced one that came from Atlantic - looks just like this one, same style lower receiver cut. I do think this could go a bit higher on GB. There still seems to be a lot of interest in the retro AR area, and having a real kit will grab some attention. |

Can you guys and gals help me out with this SP1? I got it in trade for some labor and I didnt exactly expect this. Colt says it was made in 1967, thats all I really know. I'm an AR guy and I was hoping this was going to be a shooter, now I dont know. Anyway, any idea what it would fairly bring? ETA I have the manual and the mag that came with it.Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I searched completed auctions on gunbroker. Here's a '68 that went for 4.5k, someone wanted it enough to hit the BIN button https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1007881272 Another '68 that went for 3k which I think is more reasonable: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/995498077 There's more but you can search gunbroker completed auctions just as easily as I can.

The guy told me it was an A2, that's what I was hoping for since I was issued one in 2001 thru 2005-6. It's far from that obviously. I've got 7 hours of labor tied up in this thing

Sight unseen we agreed on 800.00 after he initially said 600.00 I put a heater core in his Dodge Ram truck, he put the rifle in my office and I didnt open the box until after I got home. Doing those jobs is worth every stinking penny of 400/hr but I'll comp him something next time he's in the shop. |

You can get a start via determining from the serial number when it was made: https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/-/123-304266/? and looking at gunbroker for SP1's from that year. |

First one I’ve ever seen in person. No clue what they are worth but are definitely not commonplace. The one I saw was bundled with other parts so I don’t have a value to go by. Maybe someone else can help. ETA. This is the one that was brought to me. Yours are nicer. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

| I owned two “sets” of these. I still have one set, and the other I traded to another member on here, and its picture ended up in the “Black Rifle Book”. One set I purchased on Gun Broker as “two steel 20 round AR-15 mags” for $100 because nobody else bid on it! My guess on actual value would be in the $1000+ range for a “set” |
So say I had two brand new Colt 9mm A1 uppers,what's the going rate for these nowadays?  https://imgur.com/a/a2V4Tpe |

I built this using one of the Colt 603 kits that were floating around back around ~10 years ago. Everything is USGI except for the barrel and lower. The barrel is correct profile but I don't remember the make. The lower is 603 style from McKay industries. Wondering the value.

The whole rifle is built from a Colt M16a1/603 kit minus the barrel and lower receiver. Can you be specific about what details you would need? I know there's variation between models, but this kit was just a regular Colt m16a1/603 kit, nothing "special" to it (no random 601, 602 partson it). I figure it may be worth more parting out. I've been out of the game for awhile. What does a Colt m16a1/603 kit go for these days? |

Originally Posted By PGT_0673: So it's a 603 upper and parts? It's more aftermarket than Colt. Given that, value is probably about $1k all in (603 upper is $300-450ish max but the market is down right now). No it's all Colt except for the barrel and actual lower (the lpk is colt from the 603 kit) |
