I can't tell you anything about the flash suppressor, but the upper half of that isn't SP1, obviously. It actually has an XM16E1 chrome BCG, though.

If the barrel on that is less than 16 inches, that pin isn't going to cut it with the ATF.
And the pin looks like it is overly close to the bore.

Gun is a Mutt. The flash hider is from the late 70's to about 1983. I had two or three, wish I still had one. $10 says the barrel is 16 inches. The upper is not colt. Looks to be a surplus H&R as found on the old Sendra rifles that looked like that.
$600 rifle tops.

+1  Nesard and Sarco used to sell those suppressors "back in the day" Saw barrels like that a lot at gunshows in the 80s.  The stock appears to be aftermarket.  If it is aluminum, it's not Colt, if it is polymer, it's not Colt. The bolt carrier group and the Colt lower.

It's worth a little more than that.

A blind pin used to be all that was needed to be legal.

Believe it or not, there were actually a few SP1's built with FA's. I agree that the upper and lower weren't originally together, but that doesn't mean it's not an SP1 upper - although I believe the few FA equipped SP1 uppers did have forge codes, which this doesn't.

Sporter 2's or SP2's had forward assist. I've never known of an SP1 to have it.
