| I was just given a NIB model R6510 (.222), any idea as to the value ? |

From the book "Black Rifle II " by Christopher R. Bartocci "The .222 Remington Caliber SP1, for offshore sale" "Some countries throughout the world permit the private ownership of firearms, but have restrictions on civilians owning military caliber rifles. Colt developed their AR-15 SP1 Rifle in the commercial .222 Remington caliber as the model 6010, for export sales. These were not commercially available in the United States, and this caliber would not be offered domestically until the introduction of the AR-15A2 Government Model (Model 6510)" ALSO "...... Colt also introduced limited numbers of their AR-15A2 rifle chambered for the popular .222 Remington caliber cartridge as their model 6510, which was identical to it's .223 caliber counterpartexcept for the .222 cartridge chambering. One additional .222 caliber rifle was the Colt Sporter Target (Model number 6511), which was offered for export only, fitted with the auto sear block." Dont know many 6510's were made but I sure would like to have an SP1 chambered for the .222 cartridge (Model 6010) |
