I have a non-chromed barrel with a cast FSB (ground smooth), rubber coated sling swivel, improved three prong flash suppressor, "C" stamped on face of the barrel extension, M VP (in triangle) under the sight base and a "12" about an inch from the muzzle. I think there might be a faint "S" there as well.
Would this be in the ballpark for either a late 601 or an early to mid 602? Thanks. |

These were made 1964-1966 They are correct for mid to late 602, early 603 XM16E1, very early 604, or 605 (if cut down to 15") More Barrel Info Here |

I have an early 1965 Colt SP1 that is marked this way. It has a small s before the 12 stamping. +1, colt started marking them with the small S for the SP1 models on the M VP 12 barrels. i'll check if the other barrels are marked this way. it was only for a certain period of time as the later C MP CHROME BORE ones were not marked with a S. |

Always wondered what the S meant on my '65 SP1 barrel. Somewhere I thought I read the meaning of the S was unknown though. Can't remember where now. |
