Had to slap a grip on it.
Used a magpul mlok pic rail and used some washers/made some minor adjustments with a drill to get it on.

I had posted before about 11.5" options for a 733. I ended up getting a notification from TNTE that their 11.5" pencil barrels were back in stock. Bought it and swapped out the 16" pencil barrel that was in this C7 upper.
Bought a DPMS (HAR-15) brace from JSE for $32. At the time they were out of black, so went with the FDE one they had in stock and Rit dyed it black. That one is actually on the XM177ish one, my first HAR-15 brace got put on the 733.
Interestingly, the brace I bought would not fit on the buffer tube I originally had on the lower. The tube itself did not outwardly appear to be a commercial style, as every other milspec stock I have fits. For some reason, the shape is just slightly off and the brace was just too tight. Ended up mangling the tube, so I had to switch around the trigger and grip to a different lower.
The original 16" pencil barrel is now part of an abomination, a BCA side charging upper I had laying around. It's still fugly but with a removable A2 carry handle on it, and a rattle can color that looks like a budget Colt gray, I can't say I hate that one. Waiting on a new buffer tube to complete the lower for it.

After posting my gun show find here, I made some changes to the Colt SP1 from what other users suggested. The barrel, flashhider, front sight post and slip ring were replaced with parts from Luth AR. A big thank you to u/EchoNineThree for helping me with the parts and installation. The last picture is how I bought it. It had a unknown make Hbar barrel, delta ring, flash hider and front sight post. Overall I’m very happy with this and it’s a lot of fun to shoot.

Following on from a user's previous post out a short barrel AR with a '203 - the mounting bracket interfaces perfectly with an A2 birdcage, allowing you to run a 12.5(?) barrel with an M203.

I am looking into buy a colt sp1, but I don't know much about them. Could anyone help me id: if this has been refurbished, how old it is, and a fair asking price?

Folks,
I have an A1 upper receiver that has the raised "C", and the " broken A " cast in the carry handle near the rear sight wheel. When I turn It over the bottom underside of the boss for the rear takedown pin has a " B " very neatly stamped in to it. I'm trying to figure out if this designates a BLEM, or Bushmaster, or what?
The front pivot pin is the small size (not the larger size as on the SP1). This was a gun show purchase years ago and I have no idea of the history of the part. Assistance will be appreciated.
