- This is my favorite AR platform ever. I love the carry handle and the triangular handguards. This rifle can shoot either 223 or 556 and has a 20 inch barrel.

Still have the 73 that dad gave me when I was 10 years old. She turns 50 this year. A very special birthday indeed.
That's awesome
That's awesome man!
My dad still has his SP1 that he bought new in 1977... In 1984 he had it "drilled"... I grew up with a legal happy switch. It was good times.
I can't, at 46 years old, imagine owning a gun, and just being able to spend a few bucks and making it legally full auto.
I would have been broke had I been old enough to buy my own toys in the early 80s.
That is a great story. I agree I could not imagine that either.
Ahh I was drinking my coffee thinking about early commercial colts right now I'm not even joking
Grew up shooting one of the 70's style colt ar15s. My dad still has it i believe , love that gun.
I have a Love and Hate Relationship with my SP1.. As a Slick side it beats me to hell as a lefty sometimes.. But it is the highlight of my collection.
They just look so cool it's got to be worth it.
Super cool, I have a 1964 Colt SP1 with a serial number under 500. It shoots fine😁
That is awesome
@timothym… Yours may have all the very earliest features. 14 twist bbl with cast FSB, the early pattern slide release with the grooves on the lower portion.
30 years ago, you could go to a gun show and find all kinds of cheap spare parts. Those days are long gone!
They sure are
I just got one of these. Can't wait to shoot it. Mines from 1980. Thanks for sharing!
That is awesome and let me know how it goes. I love mine
@@gunlocker7562 I will soon sir.
I have 2 sp1’s. One a 71 and one a 73. The 71 has a Colt letter. Great guns.
I was issued an exact copy in 89. only change was the circular foregrips from 92 to 95. My favorite gun to hate on. I'm getting sentimental just watching you explore that rifle
I have an original 1981 and of all of my AR's it is still my favorite to this day. It definitely out-shoots all of the new "Gucci" carbine custom builds with the lights and optics that the kids love to bring out to the range these days.
Vintage Beauty! Keep that raw footage coming. Awesome channel Sir
Very much appreciated Thank u. Will do
Cool video brother, and you are two years younger than me lol. Seriously I just inherited my dads 70SP1 a year ago and haven"t fired it yet since I was a teen. These are beautiful rifles and it"s pretty sacred to me, but the best part about it is every time I look at it I remember my dad and how much he loved that rifle. God bless.
Great story Thank u
I have one of these. Shoots like a champ. Mines from 1981.
1973, I owned a full auto M16A1 before the world went weird. That went to an FFL a long time ago. Oh, 1973 USAF Security Policeman also.
I understand what you mean about the 1st gen of a gun. Also get owning something that's the same age as you. When it comes to it not having all the bells and whistles of the new guns ..it's sort of like owning a classic car in that the whole point is that it's from another time. IMO the best thing is to keep it original and build the state of the art version so you have both ends of the spectrum.
Well said.
I have one from 1974 I to love SP1’s nothing looks like them.
I to must be crazy
I inherited a 75 sp1, Vietnam bayonet/sling and a box of those 20re military mags new in paper.
One thing about alot of those 20rd mags, especially the early military ones.
They are thin, soft and made to be disposable.
I have a couple I like to use but the rest are collectors items IMHO.
That is awesome lucky u
I have an SP1 as well. My FAVORITE AR…. Light, sleek, 20” punch….
6 Years ago, I completely dumb lucked on a MINT! 1971 SP1 at an estate auction.
They held up the SP1 and the auction started at $100,....I asked to look at it, they stopped the bidding, (ugly looks from everyone) looked it over and thought "I'm buying a fake, airsoft, or a unicorn." One of the mags is still in the packaging, maybe one box of ammo ran through it.
$500 out the door, when I ran the SN on Colts site, I literally could not comprehend it was a 1971, its nearly new, I had been looking for ANY SP1 for nearly 30 years.
The sale was to settle the estate of a Vietnam vet, shame I don't know his name, but THANK YOU!
I looked for 30 years after I got out of the Army. I found one with less than a hundred rounds through it. They first time I fired it. I picked up a 20rd mag and slapped myself side the head. I had never fired an AR without tapping the mag on my helmet. Old habits are hard to break!
@@grayharker6271 When I was in Iraq 05-07, I showed the kids that trick, but modified it to tapping the mag on our sapi plates, or the steel toe boots the Navy mandated we wear.
Mr. Barth pulled one of these on me once when he caught me raiding his Twinkie stash.
That is funny. Oh how I remember him
@@gunlocker7562 Lol, yep, he busted La Rouche and Pearson and me at Mickeys ditching lunch, stopped our order and said "Huh huh ya thought you were gettin burgers and fries but you got MDP's and Saturday detentions instead huh huh." 😆
My favorite rifle. I have the same one and the same year 💪😁🤘
Great entertaining video. I've always preferred the carry handle ARs. I have two. One is 1990 Colt Match HBAR and the other is a 1989 Eagle Arms M4 copy.
Thank u and I agree on carry handle. Great guns u have.
M-16A1, I pack one for 3 years, US Army 🪖🫡
I want an early colt horribly
It had been a want of mine forever. It was a hard pill to swallow spending that much but I do love it.
@@gunlocker7562 yessir! I bought a Tommy gun awhile back it was... tough
Mine is a 77 had for decades. I'm a 1971.
Pull the floor plate on the mag. Shape msg lip from below with a pre shaped piece of wood.
I ended up fixing it and Thank u for the info.
I got a 67
So cool, what's the twist rate on this rifle, 12 or 14? Slab side with the fixed A1 stock sling mount, perfect ! This thing runs flawlessly, newer ones don't even run this well. Is that 55 grains ammo you're shooting? Thanks !
It's 12 twist and yes 55 grain. Thank u for the comment
I've got a COLT AR15 M16A1 MOD.
in semi and full auto😊
I don't know what does MOD. means 😕
Only shoot 223 in these?
I got a chance to buy one from 1980 unfired for 2 grand that’s a fair I think what about u
That is a great deal. I would of jumped on that.
@@gunlocker7562 I’m getting it tomorrow
❤Hello Grandma or Grandpa ❤
That semi gloss > matte
No es ototalmente original porque tiene apagallamas de el modelo M16 A1 el del S.P.1 es distinto.
i got one of them and i don't sale it for nothing
I went in the Marines in 1980 and we had the M16a1. Best rifle ever! Light weight.
