1980 Vintage Pre-Ban Colt Model R6001 SP1 Carbine in .223 Rem. w/ Factory Sling
** Beautiful 100% Original Flat-Side / No Forward Assist **
Description: This is a spectacular all-original and un-molested pre-ban Colt Model R6001 SP1 Carbine manufactured in 1980. It has all of the sought-after early features and is in excellent condition inside and out. This SP1 Carbine looks like it might have been fired a handful of times at the very most over the last 40 years and has been very well cared for. All of the parts are original to the gun and nothing has been changed or altered since it left the factory. The black paint that Colt dabbed onto the stakes on the stock nut are even 100% intact. The Colt SP1 Carbine or Model R6001 was introduced in September of 1977 and remained in production as the SP1 series until 1982 when the Sporter II Series was introduced. These early Model R6001 SP1 Carbines feature a 16" inch "pencil" barrel with a birdcage flash hider, a no-fence/flat-sided receiver, no forward assist, a fixed carry handle with a two position windage-adjustable rear sight, round ribbed forward handguards, a flat ribbed handguard retaining ring, and a two position collapsable buttstock. These SP1 Carbines were one of the closest things that Colt offered commercially to the U.S. Military's Colt 269 Carbines used in the Vietnam War, and have always been popular with both shooters and collectors. This particular gun is serial number SP116973 and as mentioned previous, is in beautiful condition. The original factory parkerized finish is beautiful and rates 98%, with the only deductions coming from some very minor handling/storage marks. The only place that shows any actual wear of the finish is located just behind the cocking piece on the top of the receiver where metal to metal contact occurs when the bolt is open. As you can see from the pictures, none of the these deductions detract from the exceptionally clean overall look of this Colt. The 16" barrel on this SP1 Carbine is chrome-lined and in perfect condition. The rifling still looks brand-new and there are zero visible imperfections. The original factory stock set is also in excellent condition. Both the handguards and buttstock assembly are in like-new condition and free from any cracks, chips, repairs, or visible wear. All of the controls on this Colt are in perfect working order and the action is slick and smooth. This SP1 Carbine should function 100% like the day it left the factory. It comes complete with one original factory 20-round magazine and the factory-supplied blacksling. If you have been looking for an investment-grade Pre-Ban Colt SP1 Carbine for your collection you would be hard-pressed to find a better example than this one at any price.
