Thanks Jim - No sir, it definitely doesn't function auto. I like the fact it rotates it the way and wish I would have it center drilled it first - maybe some other time.
Best,
Dick

The stock has been sprayed OD Green a couple times, sanded with W/D 220 and 400 grit; then lightly rubbed with 0000 steel wool. It could use another coat along the bottom seam but humidity has been...
It's been a few days since spraying the stock, handguard and pistol grip. High humidity has prevented it from completely curing but will dry hopefully soon. A total of about 2-1/2 cans of Testor's...
OK, looks like I need a proper gunsmith or machinist - :thup:
Jim - or anyone have experience drilling a standard takedown pin to convert to the earlier one with divot or dimple?
Thanks
Even after thinking it out several times I was hesitant, not knowing some unique engineering method would mess up a very difficult item to replace if I wasn't cautious. I thank you for your alway...
The internal parts of the Edgewater Buffer
I had an old can of "Testors 1265 Olive Drab Flat Spray Enamel" I've had several years. After a few minutes of shaking, it sprayed well enough for a few light coats, and it looks like a perfect...
Now then, I had an old can of "Testors 1265 Olive Drab Flat Spray Enamel" I've had several years for model airplanes. After a few minutes of shaking, it sprayed well enough for a few light coats, and...
(Sorry, not familiar with the AR10.) The role pin is accessed only on one side. If the pin is tapped in - clear of the piston and piston is removed I assume the pin is then free to fall out? After...
Jim, pr anyone familiar with the Edgwater Buffer - how is it disassembled?
Thanks
An aerosol can of "ANA611 Interior Green "arrived today and is not the example shown online at all. It's more like the Brownells 601 Lime Green they used on their first production 601's... $40.72 a...

The hole in the center of the buttstock tab was where they filled the stock with foam during production and the tiny "straw" was part of the process.
....they definitely have some interesting inventory.
Yes sir, I was a bit shocked actually and surprised. It was the last one they had, and it shipped free, no tax for $150.00 considerably less than I'd any seen anywhere else - and it showed up two...
Thanks to Jim here, the confusion on the detent spring is a non-issue. I still cannot understand what the function for hole the middle of the tab or the material that was inside. Another photo online...
You must mean the hole offset in the end of receiver where the detent spring inserts, and protrudes out then just rides flush against the end of the stock...correct? I mistakenly thought there was a...
Jim, do you mean the spring is inserted into that hole in the tab...? What's that thing I picked out of the hole?
Thanks for your help.
The buttstock arrived this morning and looks very good. The sling swivel was removed and the stock lightly sanded with 180 and 220 W/D.
The tab that inserts into the receiver has a hole with...
Looking for Buffer Tube for Colt AR15 601 build. Preferably one as shown in photo with no hex flats but just the hole to torque.
Thanks,
Dick
The buttstock has shipped - trk shows arriving tomorrow. Soon I can look it over and evaluate the conversion process I'll post some photos. I think I also managed to get lucky and score an original...
Thank you, guys, for the previous info. The SP1 with the and green furniture really has a unique presence.
I've been waiting on an SP1/M16 buttstock to be mailed for over two weeks from a seller...
Jim,
Out of curiosity what is "Fibrite"...? it's not fiberglass - the examples I see of some originals it looks like molded "Masonite". (My handguards appeared to be fiberglass after sanding them...
The 601 handguards have been sanded and sprayed with three light coats of Duplicolor Red Sandable Primer/Filler. A few more coats and sanding scratches and light blemishes should all but be unnoticed...
The Edgwater Buffer is just a fantasy at this point. I'll have to use what I can and since it won't be visible it's not practical considering the cost. I ordered an H&R stripped Lower from PSA and it...
