Just overlook the heavy barrel. They are very KISS. I have the same with an M4 barrel. |

Thanks, I guess it's more of a frankengun (like I said, assembled out of whatever I could find) but I figured it was at least semi-retro.  When I have more money I want to build something nice, maybe a clone XM177 or 607. There's a guy selling faux 605 uppers but I have a feeling that by the time I have the money he'll be sold out  |

Mine is identical, except I silver soldered a grenade ring on the base of my slip over flash hider.. I had to drill it out so it would slip over like the rest of the flash hider. |

I will be doing the exact same thing, along with having it converted into a muzzle brake for NJ legality, may even have the barrel chopped down a little shorter as well since it has to be permanently attached to comply with this state's law. |

I need a twelve step program or another place to stay. I got an email alert this morning and I couldn't say no. It was dirty on the inside but tight :-)
http://www.marksgunsearch.com/details/11340/ Post pics later. I think it was made in 1980 and it still has the colt black paint in the staked lock ring and the bolt carrier release roll pin. |

 All of the oil in it had hardened and turned to shellac. Leaving a gooey reddish film on everything and it didn't want to come off. Soaked bcg, buffer, and spring in clp and used a brush, and a lot of elbo grease, to scrub it off. I hate it when people don't clean their weapons and then let them sit up for 30 years, it makes a hell of a mess. On the bright side, no rust, and only some light scratches. Now I just need to go shoot it and blow the dust out of the gas tube ;-) |

XM-16E1 look alike, with a Chinese AK for an 'in-country' feel on my kitchen floor. Nodak 603 upper with XM16E1 lower, NDS charging handle, Colt barrel assembly, buttstock assembly, upper parts, BCG, PG and HGs, and DPMS LPK with a few retro parts (selector, trigger guard and mag release button).
