Carbine Config, 16" 1/7 pencil bbl colt marked, slabside, A2 sights(was A1), large pivot hole, bayo lug, flash hider, no block, has been Bearcoated(had alum tele, now BM 6-pos).

I know it says SP but is this an SP carbine or later model. Not familiar with Colts. Just picked this up from a very good friend.

Thanks for your help.

Nevermind, I did a proper search of the whole site for "SP1" and found out it is a 6420.

I hate assholes who can't search.

Time for some self-loathing.

And carbine fondling..............

Congrats on the score postban!

Now, let's see some pics of the whole rifle.

I'd hold off on naming a model number yet.  I'd think it not a 6420.  

It looks to me like a parts gun.  The upper receiver isn't orginal, nor is the stock.

Serial number range is correct for a 6500, 6520, 6420, and probably an early 6600.

I'd guess that this rifle started out as a 6500.  All the other configurations aren't worth busting up.  That would also explain why the upper and stock was replaced, and the barrel was probably from another gun or source.

Either way, it still looks like a nice peice.

I have both the original stock and A1 upper. Stock is too short so BM 6-pos went on (fit is much better) and A1 upper is doing time in a box cause I like adjustable sights that actually adjust. 6420 it was!.

Actually this is my first "factory" AR15. Near factory anyway. I have built close to 20 for myself and friends without ever buying one "done". Don't care a sniff about collector value and can restore it to factory if desired. Or go off the deep end.
