Yes you can build one, or buy an original SP1.

Yes, in fact you can probably find a complete upper like that at your local gun show. CDNN had Colt M16 uppers that had the A1 flash hider on them (kind of expensive though). You can buy a 3 prong and plut it on. I picked one up for a couple of dollars not too long ago. I think it was from www.oldsargesdropzone.com.

Might be a little difficult if you want all brand new, but like mentioned some places have new-old-stock uppers complete and I saw unused old barrels somewhere a while ago. Not sure if anyone makes a lightweight 20" barrel currently. I picked up a used Colt 20" pencil barrel for my build. I need to find an A1 upper that doesn't have the forward assist or shell deflector for it. DPMS makes a new one that you can see here. For mine I might just find a used one. I saw a three prong flash hider at the fun show today but the guy wanted about $26 for it. It was an old one. Way too much, imo.

Fulton Armory makes 'em for $799 complete now with evil features. Don't waste your money on a pre-ban.  www.fulton-armory.com/GEN_II.htm#LegacyRifle |

Is Fulton already offering their rifles with the flash hider and bayonet lug? I couldn't find where they specifically said these were on their rifles...

I've only held and played with one "green machine", and it was in a USAF CATM armory. I don't think you are going to find one like that, and you would probably have a hard time finding the matching parts to build one. Good luck on this project.

david,
wa-tom on this board has the repro early ar15 triangular charge handle, and the trident 3 prong (type 1) fs...good stuff. good luck finding green triangular furniture...no repros that i know of. seems like there are a lot of m16 (no fwd assist) surplus uppers appearing on the ee for great prices.....is the usaf dumping old stocks of m16 parts? also, many vendors have the m16a1 uppers from colt.....more expensive than the m16 uppers, but correct for the vn era rifles..... |
