I have the earlier version SP1 the earlier ones came with complete chrome slick side bolt bolt carriers, Triangle charging handle mine was first production run gun from Colt. I got from my granddad who purchased the wonder sporter rifle back in 1960s that had been sitting their for a year or so. My granddad said these types of guns didnt sell well back then he got a good deal and out the door he went. I even have the original magazine ad that came with it from Colt pubs. My gun has the features I said up above and came with factory duckbill flash hider it also had the heavy firing pin.

I went through a whole merry-go-round of what I thought would be the best AR configuration over several years (rails, free floating handguards, different barrel lengths, etc). In the end, my build ended up being a flat-top A1. When I thought about it, I had basically changed the only major thing that has changed the experience of shooting the rifle in the last 50 years: better optics. Optics, plus low-light shooting aids (lights or lasers) might be the only major differences between then and now, and my build eventually came to reflect that.

Having been introduced the the M16A2 first, I wasn't aware of any of the changes until I started to study firearms history. In my opinions and asking other Marines, A few of the features were unnecessary from the A1. The reason they went with a heavy barrel was from inaccurate testings on the older barrels, many Marines hated the A2's grip with the little finger groove that doesn't fit all sizes and the 3 round burst was pointless because Marines never use them in combat. The burst fire control group actually makes the rifle's semi-auto a bit worse. Having talked with Larry Vickers about the A2 rear sight, we should have went the way of the Canadians and had more simplified rear sights closer to the A1.The length of the stock to be slightly longer really doesn't go well with modern body armor either.

The first rifle you reviewed with no forward assist I used in boot camp in 1971 it jammed so much my CO let me go back to the range with another company to fire again with a different rifle. I qualified expert and I think they had a chrome bolt in them. When I went to Ft. Polk for infantry AIT I am pretty sure those M-16 rifles had the forward assist on them. This was interesting to me I spent 10 years in the military and saw the changes in the M-16. The first PD I worked at in 82 had early slab sided M-16's.. All that kept them from being full auto was a metal tap put on the top of the grip so you couldn't roll it on full auto. All you had to do was unscrew the grip and take that tap off and it was rock n roll.

The reason the AR got the development time it has was because it was a fundamentally great rifle, but also had a lot of room in the design for upgrades and modifications. Look at the variety of ARs in the civilian world. The AK is also a fundamentally good rifle, but severely lacking in room in the design for modification. There are tons of AK variants as well, but not as significant or easy to modify as the AR. A lot of work goes into making an AK "modern," but the AR set the standard for what that looks like. It's a rifle perfectly capable of easily changing with the times.

Good stuff, as always. Since you specifically called our attention to the ejection patterns... I hope someone can help with an old AR issue I have. I recently picked up a sweet AR, basically designed as an SP1. It has the slickside receiver, no forward assist, pencil barrel, etc. I shoot lefty. When shooting .223, every other ejected case hits me in the cheek. Ouch! When shooting 5.56, almost all the brass flies harmlessly over my right shoulder. And she's very sensitive! Even imported 5.56, which I suspect is down-loaded a bit, will throw brass at me. But good, US-made 5.56, like Federal M193 is no problem. Is this rifle properly gassed and buffered? Inside, everything looks stock, like an old Colt. I would love to see someone fire .223 and 5.56 out of a few old Sp1s and see what the ejection pattern looks like. Thanks and be well!

A wide parting line indicates a forging and a thin parting line indicates a casting,people not in the manufacturing industry often interchange the terms but the front site is definitely a forging weather machined or not

Why does the light buffer and over gassed system fling brass forward like that?
