Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt SP1 shown here is one of the earliest available AR-15 rifles offered to the general public on a wide scale. Colt took two directions in marketing this rifle: As this was an era where gun ownership was typically equated with hunting, the rifle was marketed to private citizens as a lightweight, space age sporting arm. It’s construction and appearance were indicative of the future and its featherweight status was supposed to appeal to campers and hunters. For law enforcement, it was marketed as an accurate, handy, powerful and light recoiling carbine. Colt sales reps would even place the stock to their chin and fire off an entire magazine in front of police officers to demonstrate the light recoil.
The handguards are triangular shaped and probably the most distinctive feature of the rifle. They provide a solid flat surface when resting on an object and are heat shielded. Some might not find them comfortable. Conversely, some may find them to be the most comfortable AR handguards ever.
