Is this it?
Yup.
Is this it?
Didn't know they made a bipod and bayonet. My Dad has the little Colt scope that came new with his SP1 and the original magazine but I should look for the bipod and pig sticker to complete the set.
Ah the good ole days. He bought that SP1 in the 80s from Valley Gun for something like $275.
If it looks like this on the bottom it is and the 20-rounder's the main target (the 30-rounder's just for extra bonus points):

Not necessarily, That just means that the base plate is Colt. Colt mags are also marked with CI on the front of the mag body. I have seen lots of "dealers" trying to pass off non-Colt mags with those base plates at premium prices. Buyer beware!
True, but, to simplify, it's easier just to verify that the baseplate's correct. It's easy to check and if that's wrong, game's over. If it's correct, then you move on to the other details, which require more articulation and specification.
Finally finished up my .300 Blackout dissipator. Pistol gas and mid length sights/handguard.
Yep. Back when I was at Ft. Knox, all the magazines we used were disassembled and put into a large cleaning bin, no attention was paid as to which part went to which mag.. There were lots of mixed part mags. when reassembled. All were mil spec and all worked. None of the springs had any markings and I don't recall any of the followers having a mfg. marking.
An AR for every occasion (ok, a reboot, but what the hell):
Pair of E4 rifles built by Engage Armament.

Do you mind me asking what the thought process is on two identically built rifles? Not trying to be a jerk, just truly curious.
If I like something and it works for me, I like to have an exact back up in case one is down for whatever reason. Muscle memory and all that stuff... It started when I was a bicycle racer and my race bike and my training/secondary bike were the same make/model and setup more or less the same.
Just about finished this one up. Still need to pick out some buis.
I don't comment much in this thread because a lot of these rifles look similar in their effect (sorry guys!). Not to say I don't always like the guns I see here, but this one really got my attention. Like it a lot. Great build!
