Any better pics of the lower receiver?
If it's as you say it is, it doesn't look too bad. Also, make sure you're happy with a fixed carry handle and the primitive A1 sights, some guys flip a ---- when they see those but given your love for odd ----, I don't think you'll mind it too much.
Colt barrels will be marked with a "C", depending on the vintage. Also, the barrel should be stamped with a "1/7" (some of the EARLY ones had odd twist rates). Most of the "larger" parts will also have Cs on them.

Nope. I wish I had better pics for you guys to look at but it is all I have. What would I be looking for on the lower that you cannot see (I'm assuming just the stamped markings). I had no idea the handle was fixed. Hmmm... Not sure if that changes anything or not. If I get a chance to buy the rifle I'll take a look for the "C"s. Thanks...

So, to go with my $100 lower, I've been doing homework on complete uppers. These are the 2 cheapest places I've found that have a COMPLETE upper, including BCG and charging handle:
$389

$369
http://sotaarms.com/?page_id=219
I really like the look of the SOTA one, and the clean handguard will reduce my desire to hang a bunch of ---- off the front end. A friend of mine has a Primary Arms red-dot he's gonna let me have for cheap. I might actually pull off a complete decent AR for under $500.

The seller says:
I had difficulty finding a Colt lower receiver with the fixed buttstock, so I went with the next best brand I could find. The color isn't a perfect match, but close enough to make no difference. The twist rate on the A1 upper is a bit lower than the A4's (1 in 11, I believe, as opposed to the newer 1 in 7 or 1 in 9). The absolute minimum I could take would be 700 for the rifle and all the accessories.

He has a collection of guns that he is selling and someone is driving 100+ miles to buy everything tomorrow (deal was already made before I started talking to him - just found out about it today). If the guy doesn't buy everything I will be picking the gun up tomorrow...
Edit - he says the guy already put down a deposit

I'm waiting for some MS6 parts I've got for sale to be gone and then it's time for an upper and a something "full size" in .40 or .45 for the nitestand. My wife won't let me keep the 12ga under the bed even if I weld the barrel shut. I'm actually seriously considering a Sub2k in .40 for primary HD work. It'll fit fine in the nitestand... add a cheap laser and I think it's a winner. Still thinking about it.
My "complete upper" will definitely be under $400 and zero frills.
Picked up my PF9 today but no chance to really look at it.
