How do I verify that all of the components on my old Colt SP-1 are original? How close to a Vietnam Era M16 is this gun (other than its semi-auto, of course)? Lastly, what is the approximate street value of this gun?  |

How do I verify that all of the components on my old Colt SP-1 are original? Better & more pictures. From that picture everything looks OK, but pictures of the other side & the internals would help out a lot. How close to a Vietnam Era M16 is this gun (other than its semi-auto, of course)? Lastly, what is the approximate street value of this gun? The COC prohibits asking the value of guns & parts here in the retro forum. http://www.christiancarnivore.com/Colt.jpg |

It has a larger (2 Piece) front takedown pin Semi auto Fire control group and bolt carrier Other than that, there is no difference. and the upper is not milled for auto sear clearance |

It has a larger (2 Piece) front takedown pin Semi auto Fire control group and bolt Other than that, there is no difference. It also has a slab side lower receiver (similar to a 601 or 602) instead of partial fence or full fence lower. The upper is similar to a 604. Below are links to more info so you can compare them for yourself: Colt R6000 SP1 <- this is what you have Colt Military Rifles 601 and 602 were "pre-Vietnam War" Advisor rifles. 603 XM16E1, 603 M16A1, and 604 M16 are your typical Vietnam Era M16s. |

Not really rare.
They're still fairly common. They're still desirable, but not as much as an earlier SP1. You can ask pricing HERE. Or check GunBroker for ended auctions of later SP1s. |
