    Latest retro effort Colt's Model 602, circa 1962

    Here is a faux (or "close enough") Colt's Model 602. It has an ugly Kalifornia compliant bullet button and early Colt 20 with aluminum follower block to 20 with a modified block from Colt factory 5/20 magazine because it would be blasphemy to put a Monsterman grip on it!


    My faux-602 Parts list:

    NDS 601 lower
    SP1 Upper with early door
    20" CMPicon Chrome Bore M16A1 barrel (OK to have later barrel, as this is a shooter)
    Young Manufacturing Chrome M16icon BCG (wish it was slick side, but at least it is chrome, and it is what I have)
    Colt charging handle
    Colt XM gray slip ring
    Colt lower receiver extension (buffer tube) and Colt buffer and spring
    Colt SP1 Lower Parts kit (including trigger guard)
    HEAT N Beat: Jerrel's good stuff
    early 601/602 bolt catch,
    dimple selector,
    dimpled take down pin,
    dimpled 601 pivot pin.
    Ratworxs 601 early flash hider
    601 grenade spring
    Very nice mottled handguards, pistol grip, and Type D stock with 601/602 swivel
    Very sucky Kalifornia compliant bullet button UGH!!!!!
    Colt 20 round magazines blocked to 10 rounds for Kalifornia
    Early cotton fabric M-1 sling
    Early Colt (US manufactured, not Germanicon) M7 bayonet with Colt M8A1 sheath
    Colt bipod with early pouch

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Nice restoration of an early rifle, I did not know Ratworks made any AR-15/M16icon parts ?

    Early parts have become very difficult to find and there is a large repro market, everything in these photos is original including the steel gas tube and the plastic

    That double pouch with waffle magazines gives me a stiffy! I love the brown/green furniture. Wish I had a set of the real stuff. I have painted the black stuff green and love it.. Actually if I didn't have this mottled set, I thought of doing a 601 instead of a 602. Ratworks just makes early three prongs.

    In the late 1980s, I had a gorgeous set of original green painted brown 601 furniture and original early three prong FH on an SP1. A "friend" talked me out of them, and never repaid me. There were a lot of Edgewater buffers back then, but nobody wanted them. I had half a dozen, but had to sneak them into builds I sold to get rid of them. My wish list: Triangular charging handle, Edgewater buffer, and waffle magazine.
