    My 1962 Vietnam 601 (almost) PIC heavy!

    Well, I have been talking about it, hinting at it, and even a sneak preview cell phone pic that sucked. He it is: It started as a 603, then changed to a 602, but finally got it to be "The Poor man's 601": (Pardon the Kalifornicating bullet button) It still needs a NDS triangle charging handle and dimpled takedown pin and safety, but those will have to wait until finances improve. This is as done as it is going to get for the some timet, so here goes..

    NDS 601 lower
    Colt SP1 LPK
    Colt lower receiver extension and buffer
    Colt early 604 upper with late 60s vintage CMPicon C 1/12" barrel and slip ring. It is a forged FSB, but it is an early smoothed one, so it looks close to a cast FSB
    Colt Charging handle
    Colt early 603 Chrome BCG
    Type D stock, early mottled grip and no drain hand guards painted with Testor's Master Modeler "Dark Green FS34079"
    Early duckbill 3 prong from John Thomas
    original 601 front and rear swivels
    Colt .223 marked early 20 round magazine with aluminum follower
    60s vintage web gear, bayonet, and bipod.
    Correct (I think) early cotton web OD green M14icon sling
