I used the CMP C barrel from the faux-601. It is the one that shot this three shot battle sight group at 25 yards - just under 7/16" center to center. The bottom ho;e is actually 2 shots! It was the SP1 FCG in the 601 that I am using in the 603.



Here's a daylight photo of the bottom half showing the mottled early furniture:
