Hello

I have 2 sp-1's in great shape.  they have been stored for years and have not been fired in maybe 20 years or more.  They are 1976 and 1977 year.   I am not a collector but do appreciate those who are.  I am thinking of selling these or trading for new ar-15's that we can use.  I know what the blue book on these is but was wondering there is any interest here in these guns.  Please tell me about them heck you might even talk me into keeping them. I welcome all comments good and bad.  I am really here to learn more than anything.

Yep, there is interest here.   They were the first ARs available to the general public.

The Sp1 data base is located here in the Retro forum.

I know the data base has some pics, but I would like to see a SP1 only pic thread.



[ETA]  Oh, and WELCOME to the board!

          The Blue Book isn't worth crap for pricing modern guns today.

Both of Your  SP1s are worth a minimum of $1000 CASH  ( more if in excellent condition.)
(check the auction sites )

And MORE if one is a carbine or you have boxes and accessories.

DO NOT TRADE THEM -  you will most likely lose your ass  

If you shop around you might get a good deal buying two new ARs from a big store.

OH YEAH - we wouldn't mind seeing pictures.......

I will have pics tomorrow.  Should we start our build with these?  Or are they worth more to someone as collector guns?  One is a 1977 748XX and the others is a 135XXX serial number.
