Check out ARFCOM in the Equipment Exchange section/forum. They usually have lots of retro equipment to sell there.

been looking at them pretty hard and will probably be purchasing one! a buddy of mine hooked me up with a sweet retro slickside upper and I feel obligated to do it right and get a proper lower. he pointed me to moores militaria and they have some awesome stuff. Has any one used the a1 style barrels from sarco? was looking at them too.

I've ordered from both. The prices have gone up a bit on uscorereplicas. I ordered an A1 buttstock and triangle guards and was very pleased. True vintage and in excellent condition.

thats a sweet rifle! who has a decent price on "the Pencil" barrels?

 

[Lumpy]

I initially ordered the barrel assembly from Sarco, but at the time they were backorderd. They have them now. I found mine at a gunshow. Think I paid $150 for it. It's made by Colt. I pretty much scoured the show and got a lot of the misc parts like gas tube, delta ring, barrel nut and bolt/carrier.

To the discerning eye, it's not a true A1 clone. A1's didn't have a shell deflector or delta ring. If anyone knows where I can find a correct ring, I'd love to get one. Also, the mag isn't correct, but I do have straight 20 rounders for it and a NOS nylon sling.

heres my starting point!

I do plan on scouring the gunshows for parts, the ones here usually have a few big tables of ar stuff and one guy usually has a wide range of parts.

 

[Lumpy]

Yup, match that with a NDS lower and you'll have a great start on an SP1.

I like the fact you can assemble them at the kitchen table!
