Ah, don’t give me credit. I’m just making the photos observable again. I’ll do what I can to improve the info though.

Again, ‘twernt nothin’... i did it more for my sanity than anything else, and to save the info in the pictures from vaporizing into the photobucket nebula
I don’t know much about GM and H&R guns but I do think the info is lacking there. Not that Ekie was lacking info, because this thread surely took him a long time to build. We can build off of it. Open to other suggestions as well. It would be nice to get the timeline for the mess that are the 601 barrel markings. I’ll probably add extra photos as examples of certain things. A couple of other thoughts that may not necessarily belong here: I have compiled a list of all 601s I have personally observed either in person or have seen pictures of, otherwise meaning that they are still alive and kicking... I think I may build a “601s in the wild” thread with photos of those rifles. I also have a HUGE amount of official reports and other documents on my computer. Most of them can be accessed on the interwebs... I will probably also build another thread with links to them. And now that I’m thinking about it, I should probably go grab the “603 upper guide and just slap that info in this thread, unless the hive feels it should be separate. There’s lots that can be done to make info more accessible in this thread. |

A member came across a bunch of de-milled M16A1 lower receivers. He was selling them on the EE. I got one of the "dogtags" he made out of it.
SN is 9,5xx,xxx. I don't see that range listed. |

I just made it a resource. I believe you should still be able to edit and maintain the first post.
