Colt SP1 Bolts Early vs. Later
 |
Early Smooth sided bolt carrier without notches. Bolt itself is chromed. This unit came from serial number 159. Image Courtesy Don Francis |
 |
Later Notched bolt carrier for use with forward assist. These assemblies utilized a cotterpin instead of the earlier split pin, to retain the firing ping, and also stopped the use of chrome in finishing bolts. Image Courtesy Don Francis |

(Above right) Later carrier with more material machined away from the rear of the carrier and in the firing pin area. Images Courtesy Don Francis. |
