Introducing the Colt Model SP1, a semi-automatic rifle that is not only a high-performing firearm but also a piece of American history. This model, manufactured by Colt in 1981, is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The bore condition is excellent, with no signs of pitting or corrosion. The rifle comes with three 30-round magazines, providing a generous capacity of 30+1.
As an AR-15 Direct Impingement firearm, this Colt Model SP1 offers robust performance in a variety of conditions. The firearm is chambered in .223 Rem. caliber, known for its precision and reliability. The 20" barrel is threaded and features a muzzle brake/flash hider, a chrome lining, and a bayonet lug. The finish is parkerized, a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear.
The rifle features an A1 style synthetic pistol grip with side checkering and no finger groove, providing a comfortable and secure grip. The M1 fixed stock includes a compartment for additional storage. The front A1 sight with an adjustable post and rear A1 carrying handle with two-select aperture ensure precise targeting. And, despite minor handling wear along the finish and a minor marring mark by the bolt catch, the firearm remains in very good condition overall.
