SNOTtawa, onterrible - the land of morons
OH YEAH!!! I am now a full-fledged member of the AR-15 club.

I got myself a classic Colt AR-15 SP1 complete with triangular handguards and no forward assist. I can't wait to take 'er to the range tomorrow and put a few rounds down the pipe!

Right now I only have 1 20/5 Colt mag, but I have ordered a couple of the 10 round pistol mags from Marstar, along with 400 rounds of ammo, so I should be good to go soon enough. For tomorrow, I picked up 5 boxes of Remington UMC 55gr FMJ rounds from LeBaron for $7.63/20 rd box.

I know there are some tricks when it comes to cleaning these, so if anyone can give me some tips about that or anything else I should know, I'd really appreciate it!

Here are a few pics.

Cheers!

Very nice!
Now that you have began at the beginning of the series, you will be lured into getting the smaller, racier ones and be forced into a life of eating KD :)

Good Morning Viet Nam! That's a nice example of the classic sp1. Where did you find it?

Got 'er in the EE. The triangular handguard models have always been my favourite ARs, so when I saw this one pop up for $900.00 on the EE, I jumped at it!

I love this place! Almost all the guns I own have come from members here.

Cheers!

NIce Clammy! I never really liked the SP1, but if it gets you in the black rifle hobby, then it's the best rifle ever! Enjoy!
 
Good start. SP1s are an under-rated rifle here in Canada. For $900ish you get a nice classic/retro rifle with colt's great quality. If you want to get into assembling ARs then you can do what I did and start peicing together SP1s. Its kinda fun to go to gunshows and rumage through a seller's parts box, only to be pleasantly surprised to find a peice that you're missing.
 
Good job sir... NICE original one... Makes me want to go watch Apocalypse Now... :D

Looks like you and I both joined the AR club this week!

Are you closs to ottawa?

I took her out and put about 100 rounds through her yesterday, and boy is she ever sweet! I'm still getting used to how to sight properly with the peep/front post system, but I managed to get a fair number of rounds into the black at 100 yards, including one that was dead center in the 10 ring! And, I guess SP1's with triangular handguards aren't all tha common, cause she was getting lots of attention! :D

Cheers!
