I was given an sp1 stripped upper––-no forward assist ,regular sight
,great condition, Colt large pivot I bolted her together with assorted new and used parts as A shooter. My question–––––– is that Colt proofed CM SP1 Stripped upper being. "wasted" as a tractor/pIckup short rifle? Is it pertinent to Retro ? Thank you Paul m |

Thank you Paul m SP1 uppers are less desirable than milspec ones due to the need of a bushing but i'd have not problem using one on a truck gun or .22 conversion. It is pertinent to retro but they are fairly common so build what you want and be happy with it. We won't drag you over the coals for it

Here's my son's "Frankengun" using an SP1 upper: http://pullig.dyndns.org/pics/weapons/N8.jpg It was built out of "spare" parts. It looks very SPII.

I thought about building a 606 clone, but my son needed parts to finish his AR and I had given his Cricket .22 to his sister. I had to help him finish it right away. He loves the unmatched look. He tells everyone who sees it that HE built it, which he did. |

Yes that was fun. But now I see I need a
Straight ring to hold on the handguards, The lower frame is wrong ––need one..... LOL. This is spare parts tractor rifle––- I can see the attraction for the retro stuff This is practical though handy, durable, light, Accurate, no batteries Cool Hey that was the idea from the beginning Mr Stoner thanks again Paul |
