OK.... I'm in love... just put a deposit down on my first AR-15. It's a Colt SP1, early 1970s vintage. His price to me: $850 and looks like in very good shape. I actually like the fact that it has a fixed stock, non-removable carry handle, and no rail system. And since it was manufactured well before 1994, everything about it qualifies as "pre-ban" in my state.
I also like the lack of a magazine fence and forward assist.
Anyone else have an SP1? Any particular issues or "gotchas" with that particular model? I expect to have it paid off and shooting it by mid-Sept or sooner (hopefully).
