Colt Serial Numbers

Narby69

I recently acquired a Colt Sp1 Carbine with serial number SP154xxx. According to this site:(http://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/ar15serial.html), is it from 1975 or 1978. If not either of those what year is it. Thanks


Anybody comes through that door, you put two in the chest and one in the head!

Does anyone know of a reputable list of preban colt (ar) serial numbers? I have an offer to buy one that is "preban" but I can't verify the number on any list that I can find as yet, and Colt does nothing but put me on hold.

thanks for the help

I found this web site that matches Colt serial numbers with dates of manufacture. Just thought you all might be interested.

Any Colt experts might want to validate that the information is correct.

yeah, I saw that page, but unfortunately the s/n in question is CSL XXXX

and the prefix CSL isn't to be found on that list.
