Colt SP1

Nice SP1 Clammy a classic and a wise decision for a first true Black Rifle.
You need the SP1, a helmet, and a flack jacket when you watch "Tour of Duty" "Platoon" and "We Were Soldiers".

I had quite a few 12 or 15 SP1's and 6 or 8 A2's models of rifles & carbines over the years the the SP1's wouldn't handle the SS109 ammo. I have lots of cans full of the SS109 and it would be a shame to shoot that ammo through a 1-12 barrel and not get any accuracy. Last year I had a chance to trade for an A2 with 1-7 and I like that A2's for that reason. I haven't shot it yet but I have to get out and do it.
I think I have had just about every kind of Colt made over the past 30 years and have gathered lots of parts. Especially the C-7 type.

I do need a rubber wedge to take up the slack between the upper and lower receiver. I would also like to get an SP1 complete upper to go with my A2 just for the look.

I had most of the black rifles at one time or another, had fun with them before I traded or sold them off. I prefer the AR's over the VZ-58's, Galil's, AR-180's, FNC's, Valmets, AK's, SKS's, H&K's, FN's, UZI's, Sterlings, and M14's.

Nice!

I do have a Vietnam era steel pot helmet complete with fiberglass insert, webbing and woodland camo covering. Think of the helmet on the cover of Full Metal Jacket (minus the "Born To Kill")! :D

I would like to get an A2 as well at some point. The SP1 is very accurate with 55gr bullets (which are nice and cheap for now). The gun outshoots me for sure.

Cheers!
