Guys,
After careful research, it appears that this upper is actually a "604" type. The factor that decides this is the raised lettering for the elevation. Technically a "601" doesn't have any lettering.... whereas a "602" is stamped or engraved. My research was from here:
Build Guide
So the question that I face, is whether to build it as a "604" or "601". I would simply grind off the elevation markings for the later.
I have yet to procure a barrel or stock set.
It appears that a "604" uses a conventional easily had charge handle. Which would save me a Nodak repo.
I have now seen photos of a 604 in service during Vietnam, which gives it a nifty historical precedence.
So whatcha guys think???

I was actually talking about the 610 or 649 because they handle so nice. Something short and handy, not rifle length.

That's almost exactly what I was talking about. The only thing I'd do differently would be a light weight barrel to keep it light. But that one's probably a fast twist so in these times it might be better anyway. Heavy bullets are probably easy to get around you and it can also shoot whatever comes to hand.

I often thought about turning an M4 barrel down to the light weight size, but I think the M4 profile is sexy so I just left it myself. We have ours registered anyway so the SBR thing you have to deal with is a moot point. I went a bit shorter.
