Delta-10 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 https://gunspot.com/listings/detail/13197/steel-ar15-drop-in-auto-sear-dias-transferable/ I noticed that the serial number starts with a "SP" and thought I remembered reading that when folks registered their Colt SP1 rifles back in the day using a drop in sear they would put the serial number of the gun on the sear thus making it "married" to the gun. I would hate to put down 60K then discover a problem with the paperwork down the line. It seems to me that if someone were to just register a sear by itself the serial number would be something more generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta-10 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Here's one that Rubin had awhile back and look at the number on the gun and the DIAS. https://www.sturmgewehr.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23695-colt-sp1-with-married-dias/#comment-76589 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't surprise me if someone pays it but holy smokes, 60K! Wonder if there will ever be a top end on these little drop ins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I waited too long and they have become prohibitively expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you or me, that would be a foolish move. For some people, money is not an issue; they want it - they buy it. That said, it would be a VERY expensive mistake if this was a married DIAS.

Flevvy Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 There is a chance, a very small chance that this sear was divorced from a receiver in the past, but who's to say. There are definitely a lot of weird cats out in the MG world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 It's a DIAS, doesn't matter what number is on it, it can be separated from the gun at any time (unless you have a short barrel upper on it not SBR'd) The mfr is on the paperwork and in this case EB appears to be the mfr.? With that and the serial number on the paperwork you should be good to go. 60K might be a value to someone that believes RR's wear out and and DIAS are actually just drop in and run. Since we can conclude colt never made DIAS's we can infer someone else made it and registered it and picked their own serial number, but lacked understanding or creativity and could have used #1. The mentioned seller in the link above knows little about MG's, so the fact he mentions his is married when it's not, should be another red flag. He puts out a lot of soup cans on the shelf, but can't really tell you what the soup tastes like or even how it was made? It's a fairly common problem in retail today LOL.

Colt Chopper Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I would think the registration would tell the story. If it has no barrel length given, wouldn't that be a clue ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Firearms Registration and Transfer Records is so full of errors that it warrants another full Amnesty, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I agree they should do another amnesty for everything with this brace registration bs coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
