All of the pictures I have seen have one very glaring mistake. It's black. The rifle they're selling has a full fence lower and a 3 prong flash hider, so that's a transitional 603, and the receiver and barrel should be gray, not black.

Other than that, they look really nice, but they are very pricey. I think for that price, I might prefer to buy an original SP1.

I personally very much liked the A1, kinda liked the A1 over the A2. The A2's trigger group ruined the trigger and took away full auto. The heavier barrel and furniture took away one of the greatest assets the M16 ever had, light weight. For it's day, the A1 (one they worked out the bugs; was an excellent weapon.
