A real time capsule, did you buy it?

A real time capsule, did you buy it?

yes. i went specifically looking for a 3 or 4 digit AR-15 or an armalite AR-180.

i honestly did not expect to find anything remotely close. just miles of plastic handguns.

Nice! I have a 4- digit from '67.

Nice rifle. If yours is 3XXX then mine is a bit lower. Gotta love the low numbers!!

I had two of them , they had all the same parts and marked like yours . I sold one here in PA with the one Obama scare and trade the other some time ago . mine were bought around the 1000 to 1200 range I think .

That is spectacular. Just spectacular.

How it navigated 53 years unsullied we may never know.

Congratulations to you on a wonderful find.

Congrats on the new acquisition. Early SP1s have become extremely desirable in these past few years. Enjoy it
