Just scored the SP II I asked about a few weeks ago.
16inch 1x12 pencil Bbl, A1 upper, no forward assist, slab side lower, modern Bushmaster collapsible stock but I have the proper stock sitting around here somewhere. Really rough A1 grip. 8 30 round Colt mags with green followers and 1 FN mag with black follower. Only bad part was the guy etched his SSN on the inside of the mag well. It is barely noticeable even in good light. I can steel wool it out with little effort. Rifle is in good condition, hardly ever shot but moved around and banged round a lot. Internally it is pristine. He was asking $1,200 for it but when he couldn't sell it on gun broker twice he sold it to me for $850. He let me pay him down half now, half at the end of the month. I shot a couple mags through it and it won't take either OK mag I tried (too tight, failure to feed ever other round, pull mags out re-insert , charge and bang, repeat) Other mags worked just fine. I need this like a hole in the head but it is one light weight rifle. Just wanted to brag.

Congrats, nice score, PICS 
My first Colt carbine was my former SPII that I bought new in '85 when they first was produced, it was my third Colt AR, my first AR was a SP1 rifle and second a SPII rifle, sold my SPII carbine in around '91 to buy a new Colt model R6530 Sporter Lightweight carbine. Something about your description doesn't fit the way I remember my SPII carbine, mine was a 1/7 twist A2 type barrel with A2 FS, A2 pistol grip, and a Fiberlite two position collapsible stock. The guy you got it from probably changed it to his preference. |

So yea, a bit of changing out on parts. Everything but the butt stock is Colt, it is just a mix. I'll get pics up later. |
