Colt factory nickel SP1?  I can get pics up if neccessary - no flaking, but the chrome is a little dull - maybe it just needs to be polished?  No mag, no box.  Hopefully they did not come with nickel magazines.

BTW, this thing is butt ugly.

I don't know its value but I'd love to see some pics of it   I have a standing offer to pick up an SP1 from a guy once I get home.

I'll offer 500 bucks for it.
The nickel can be brightened.   Google "polishing nickel" for some ideas.
Check the serial number first, and be SURE to read this:

I sold one during the ban and got about the normal price for a SP1 out of it.

BTW- The electroless nickel finish is called Coltguard.

This is about right.  Virtually no collector value.  Just value the rifle as another shooter.

NT is a banned arfcomer who is/was, shall we say, a bit immature. He wanted a "seasoned" look on his gun so he took it & threw it down his paved driveway to give it the "right look"..................    

The funny part is, he's now a 2nd LT in the USAF & in charge of something.
