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.
I've been lucky to acquire an early original USAF complete Colt...
Looking for earlier Dust Covers; Charging handles; possibly any other upper parts and BCG's for a XM177E2 and AUG-5/5 build.
Appreciate any help, Thank you
Anyone that might have a Troy Industries XM177E2 they don't care that much about please let me know. I'd be interested in making an offer or possible trade.
Thanks much
FOUND ONE - THANKS!
Appreciate the added information...thanks!
It looks like the canvas sling will be just fine...thanks!

Much thanks RAM1ALASKA...I'm very happy I finally was able to complete the project.
Not a priority at the moment but sometime..."maybe". I'm happy with it time being anyway.
Thanks Jim, I sorta wish I still had that 1907 sling just for comparison, but that's about all. The web sling is good enough and still looks period correct I believe. I'm just as proud of everything...
The barrel and adapter arrived this morning and is now finally attached to the receiver. I'm pretty happy with it considering all the effort and period of time involved.
Not real sure about the...
Hello all -
My project should be completed following receipt of the barrel and adapter from Bullcreek Arms. The barrel was sleeved, grooved and apparently re- blued. Soon as it arrives and...
Tom,
You are no doubt correct, thanks for the clarification. I think I got the Trench Gun barrel confused with the commercial ones. It's been too long since I read about it. My conversion recently...
I didn't have the chance to do anything further yet. Plumbing and vehicle maintenance got in the way. However, I've been in communication with Tom Wilkinson at "Bull Creek Arms" who has kindly taken...
Follow up on the above post:
I was mistaken about the mag plug. Apparently, both e M97 and M12 are the same. I was always curious about the hole through the main portion of it and apparently it...

Depending on availability of a friend's shop I hope to get the rivets soldered in this week. On another note, I realized the magazine plug I intended to use is for a M97 and isn't compatible. It's an...
No, I wasn't aware...thank you.
Thank you Jim...after this week I hope to work toward finally completing the project. I have a local friend that bought a repro heat shield and attachment for his M12 conversion from the same...
Photos of the rivets installed but not soldered yet. The one misaligned hole will be filled in. Interior shot shows the rivets needing to be trimmed prior to soldering.
Hello -
My apology for any apparent lack of follow up on this project. A few interruptions and various priorities took precedence. Anyway, I think the answer to the original heat shield...
edit to prev post: ...diameter seems fine but I think the length on these will not provide enough to gain proper strength.
