Description:
RIFLE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION! FOUR DIGIT SERIAL NUMBER!  NO issues at all and this rifle is 100% correct as issued in 1964! 

This is an outstanding "first year" 1964 production Colt AR-15 SP1 semi-automatic rifle. It has the early style upper receiver with no provisions for a forward assist and the correct early Colt "triangle" proof mark on the upper receiver. The lower receiver has the Colt four line markings with the four digit serial number "SER SP 01166" indicating production at about mid 1964. This was the the first full year of Colt AR 15 SP1 production. It is fitted with the early original Colt marked parts such as the original non-chrome lined barrel with and "s" & "12" marking. The right side of the barrel beneath the sight post rings is stamped with the proof "M" and triangle Colt stamping. The barrel is fitted with the early three-prong flash hider with correct ' checkered ' lock washer. The bore is beautiful and shiny. It has the early Colt slick side bolt carrier that lacks the notching on the side later added for the forward assist. The carrier has the larger hole in the side for the early and rare chrome solid head machined firing pin keeper. The bolt is also the early Colt version that is all chrome plated and very rare marked  "P" only. It retains its  Colt internal parts with the early style selector switch that has the small machined hole on each end of the switch. It still retains its original first generation (and very rare) old style, large head, two-piece 'Edgewater' recoil buffer. It is also fitted with it original slimmer black plastic pistol grip, early triangular handguards (early unmarked versions lacking the "R" and "L" on the inner aluminum shields.) Features the early style buttstock. The buttstock is indeed, the early version that lacks any provisions for the internal storage compartment, that is correctly fitted with a solid rubber/plastic buttplate with no provisions for the later trap door. It also has the rubber coated swinging sling swivel. The ejection port cover is of the earlier style having the roll pin holding in the longer spring and detent. The pin housing was longer as well. This was later changed to a shorter 'crimp' style securing method. C&R is okay.
