Just saw this, it's about to end (not mine) Everything looks SP1 except the furniture but it's called an A2 sporter. You think it came like this originally? Is that price fair, with the numbers scratched into the lower?

Not sure about pricing, but I think all of the SPII/AR-15A2 rifles came with A2 barrels, even though they may have earlier C7-style uppers. The rifle on auction appears to have an A1 barrel. There has been mention here on the forum that some may have had 604/SP1 style uppers but I haven't seen anything definitive. The finish seems to match pretty well, so it may have been on there for a long time even if it's a replacement. |

Colt was reknowned for doing things like this back in the '80s. Maybe they did not have the A2 1/7 barrels at the time some of the early AR15A2 Sporter IIs were made. Who knows? |

I wonder if the barrel is 1/12 or 1/7? It would have to be a VERY early sporter II. They did a name change so it could be sold in states that banned AR15 by name. I'd throw A1 furniture on it and call it good! To me, with that barrel profile, it may very well be a 1/12, but sometimes picture angles can be deceiving. |
