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...

Thank you, guys, for the previous info. The SP1 with the and green furniture really has a unique presence.

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...

Searching and collecting parts for the 601 the last week or so has turned up an M16/SP1 Buttstock and a repo Triangle Charging Handle. An H&R stripped Blem 601 Sickside Lower with will be used for...

The more think about it, I'd like to go with a 601 with the green furniture. If...

Yea, I'm aware of NDS moving in with PSA. I've got an H&R receiver and pleased with the quality and customer service. The problem is the H&R trademark logo detracts too much from the lower if trying...

If there's any Nodak Spud lower receivers available anywhere that would be my first choice. H&R (PSA) 601 would be fine but they have their trademark logo on it. If there's no luck finding an...

Is it too late to change the thread title to Colt 601 Build...?

First choice would be an early 604 version with the partial fence and three prong flash hider. I'm having difficulty finding a photo reference of a windage drum with arrow.... they must be out there...

It's been a while since my last post after completing a M12 Trench Gun repro build and now interest in retro AR15's has bitten.
