SUPER JOB!!... I just started to get the "retro" bug.... using the real parts is unfair to us who never get to see the real thing!....

Most exellent, did you say the bolt group was an original? I used to have a set of fibrite brown furniture that had been painted green then black. I left it in the care of a friend who turned out not to be much of a friend. I knew eventually it would be worth money.

Model 601
Excellent job on your restoration of the Model 601, some of the early parts are difficult or impossible to locate. Photo shows an early front sight "flat" base - only one that I ever
found as a part ! The early three digit Colt SP1's had the flat front sight base too. Attachment 17312

Thanks for sharing! It seems those early parts are pretty impossible to find if you're looking for them. I only seem to stumble on such stuff when looking for something completely different, like 1866 trapdoor parts...

Sir,
I am developing a keen interest in the early AR's/ M16's... I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions... later on.
You did a real nice job there! Thanks for sharing!

some are fortunate enough to hold history as its made , the rest of us strive to hold it in memorium , you have an extra special bit of that , it would be fun to have one but i fear ill never accumulate the required bits , thanks for sharing it
