I own a 98% Colt SP-1 manufactured in 1965, serial # 147*.
She's beautiful, definitely built when they cared about what they were doing. |

I bought my AR15 new in 1986. Is that what you mean? I got my first in 1983 when I was a senior in high school, but I sold it for tuition and rent.

I've got an old Colt AR-15 blackpowder rifle from 1885 that used to be used by the navy...it's a .41 caliber. I have a 30-round magazine that holds 72-grain lead balls and only rattles a bit when running.
It even has a the original "full auto" setting...which is an experience! Your arms get damn tired trying to ram patches, balls, and powder down that sucker at 5 rounds per second! People think I'm crazy, but I still use it for home defense. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking...a 35-inch barrel isn't necessarily maneuverable indoors, but I used the retractable stock to shorten it a bit. TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING! It's fun. |
