My 602 build just became a green stocked 601

[imarangemaster]

Well, I figure it deserves its own thread. It actually started as a 602 with black Brownell's furniture, but I ordered the brown furniture from them also, to paint green. I had ordered a set of their green retro furniture, but it was all wrong.

Parts list :
-NDS 601 lower
-Colt SP1 complete upper (close enough- not worth it to me to grind off the arrow and have it redone. the upper is like new.
-Colt semi auto lower parts kit (notched hammer)
Bolt catch modified to 601 configuration and selector and pins dimpled by John Thomas at Retro Arms Works.
-Fulton slick side chrome Bolt Carrier, and Stag Arms chrome bolt
-late production Colt buffer and spring
-Brownell's brown A1 retro furniture, painted green with Testors FS34079 (dark OD green)
-Brownell's 20" retro 1/12 pencil barrel, chrome lined (shoots 1 moa with Lake City M1934, so it stays!)
-Innovative Industries 601 "duckbill" flash hider
-Nodak Spud 601 triangular charging handle
-Nodak Spud waffle magazine, blocked to 10 rounds for Californication use with bullet button.
-1960s contract Colt M7 bayonet (not German, but rather Imperial made contract)
-M1 web sling
-Knock off of Colt 4x scope - shoots 1 moa, not too bad for a 439 scope...
-current Colt cleaning rod, not T handle. It looks a lot like the early 601/602 rods with the knurled handle.
Nice reproduction of original AR15 601 manual complete with fold out.

Parts inbound: 601 grenade spring coming from Sarco.









I intentionally scuffed the paint on the handguard at a wear point to see how the green paited brown Brownells furniture looked. Awesome, just like an original with the brown showing through. Much better than black furniture painted green....
