Not that I'm aware. Everyone has pretty much geared up to heavy barrel or M4 style carbines.

Quoted:
Does anyone manufacture a direct copy of the Colt CAR-15? You have to be a little more specific since CAR-15 could come in different flavors. EDITED WRONG PICTURE Both of these are CAR-15s. 
Someone else has another picture of more of the Colt product line with multiple CAR's. Build one! (or two or three) 
I can't find the picture I'm thinking of and the NyQuil is kicking in so......

Thanks Fellows. I had a mid- 70's Colt CAR-15. Nice handling little rifle. Nothing fancy at all. Real simalar to the COlt XM-177. Had a very small diameter barrel I geuss refered to as a "pencil" barrel. Dont recall the twist. No Forward Assist. A-1 type rear sight. Round HG.
Are new parts available to build a "repo" of that rifle or would I just end up with a m4? |

You could put one together out of the EE and with a lower from NDS. Thats a NoDak lower, colt surplus upper, b/c, handguards, and JT 1/9 barrel. I love that little carbine

I love that little carbine +1 - I built something like that using a Nodak Spud (NDS) lower, slick side M16 (not A1) style upper and a Daniel Defense lightweight 14.5" barrel with a long A1 style bird cage flash suppressor from Sabre Defense pinned on to bring the barrel over 16" (no SBRs here in WA  ) and CAR handguards. It's a handy little carbine.

I have one too.
An SP1 upper on a Stag A2 lower with a Bushmaster 1/9 pencil barrel. Light weight, handy and "if-I-can-see-itI-can-hit-it" accurate. It's a whole lot of fun. Although I'm thinking I'll rebuild it with NDS receivers when they get caught up again. |

Colt no longer makes them retro, but go to Gunbroker and simply search for SP1 CARBINE. You might find what you're looking for.

Thanks Fellows. I'll do some looking. I see ND is mostly sold out of everything.
