Gotta love those old black rifles.
Thanks for sharing.
I bought a ‘78 model judging by Colt’s serial (number) registry. I have NOT fired it…yet. The rifle is pristine with a great bore judging only with a bore light, no scope. The rifle is definately my FAV in my ‘collection’. I’ve toyed with the thought of firing it lately, only .223 rounds..nothing hot. And no, I’m not shooting reloads through it either and it’s not because I don’t trust MY reloads, I just ‘trust’ factory reloads more with this SP1
I’m five years too late, but this needs to be spoken –
A test by the Marine Corps for adoption of the AR-15 into the M16 found that, with properly specified .223 ammo, even just plain ball, the original AR-15 is capable of a 1.5 MOA group, if not better.
