I have owned this at least 20 years and only shot it 20 times or so.It is a basic nice target rifle with nice Anshutz peep sight rear sight with Anshutz hooded front site.
![]() Maybe unfired in original Colt box with paperwork also. OBO L1A1 Century Arms virgin receiver 500. Made by Baikal these rifles shoot real well and this is the best of 20 I have had. It does not have the scope mount but these were selected for their accuracy. Serial number 318603 matches on Receiver, barrel, all of bolt numbers, sight, bolt release, both barrel bands, butt plate top wood all match as well as magazine cover. Get a flattop upper; put a removeable carry handle on it and shoot iron sights. Once registered you will have access to participate in our community. Intended use is A LOT of targets, tournaments, and competitions of all types. I prefer iron sights I dont like or have any desire for lego rails to attach any sorts crap to the rifle other than a sling. But the lack of forum talk on the SP1 (vs new production ARs)and my lack of knowledge in this platform leaves me unsure of a few things I shoot both righty and lefty, but mostly left handed, (Im right handed cross dominant) will brass ejection be an issue with this platform If so is there an effective deflector add on Are parts pretty much the same as new ars andor otherwise readily available. Will modern modular uppers (including.22lr) be compatible with these older lowers (not a huge concern) Is the lack of a forward assist in any way a concern I dont see why it would be Ammo If I need lighter ammo for the 112, is it still widely available and reasonably priced Were these only made with pencil barrels I recognize the benefits of a light rifle, but will the pencil barrell start to let rounds wander when hot. And does anybody have one they will trade my former track miata for. There are folks out there trying to collect them so Im not sure if the price is comparable to a new AR. I think youd be better served by purchasing a National Match configured AR if youre looking to do a lot of target shootingcompetition. Its very easy to find ARs that dont have all the rail mount crap on them. As for the hand guards, why the old triangular ones Why not the round hand guards If you have your heart set on the triangular ones, they can be had but you might have to look and you might have to settle for used surplus. If you find a pair, they can be switched out with the round very easily. Then you would have a purpose built AR rifle for target shooting with triangular hand gaurds and iron sights. With an A2 or A3 upper, youll have the triangular brass deflector on it so shooting leftyright wont be an issue. As for ammo, 55 gr ammo for a 1:12 twist barrel can be had, but why settle for that when you could get a better twist and shoot heavier ammo for targetscomps. Just a thought. Im sure there are at least one or two folks here that shoot NM ARs that will be along shortly to give you advice. I love it because of its historical place in my collection, and the feel of shooting an old school Colt-original I cant buy an M-16A1 AR. The thin barrel, the twist rate, the lack of a shell deflector (which can be a pain for a righty too) are things that are appreciated, but were corrected for very good reasons in later AR versions. The advice above is sound: go buy a newer A2 configured AR with a better barrel. If you like the A1 handguards and the standard buttstock, buy it that way.
