I recently had an opportunity to pick up one of the Colt CRM16A1 rifles from Colts “AR-15 Military Classics” collector series. The rifle is very well done and I was amazed at how close its finish was to an original 1979-80 SP1 that I happened to have on-hand. Below is a photo of the CRM16A1 sitting behind the SP1. I will be doing detailed photos and analysis soon.
