With a little effort finding a Colt sp-1 in that price range is possible. I like them ( never was a huge fan of getting a light rifle then dangling 5-7 pounds of accessories on it) but I like them at 800-900 dollars not 1200+. Every once in a while you can stumble across complete A1 barreled uppers in the 400 dollar range and about 300 for a complete lower with fairly retro parts, so the price seems steep to me. I am not an OCD cloner that needs every part period correct to be happy though. If these are correct in every small detail then I can understand the price tag to a degree
