Looks like I'm gonna have a partial fence lower for my 607 build soon! And my upper is nearing completion! I'll post pics when I get the lower.

Thank you sir for the outstanding work! |

Cant wait to see the finished product! You need to cut down that barrel an inch and a half though |

you suck |

45Bravo - I love the look of the E1. It was the Mk18 of it's day. Of course, the 607 and E2 clones always get my attention as well. Who can't love a shorty?
Unclemoak - that's some beautiful machining BTW. |

|
|
How is it motified? Just the fence? Why didnt you do the front and rear reinforcements? Very nice start though! |
||
|
No, the fence is still there. I just filled in the rollmarks. I think I will purchase one of those lowers that are built A1 style. I don't own a mill and I didn't want to freehand the cuts.

Man, that turned out great! I'll have to come and visit you this summer and I'll bring a 607 and my 609 over, too!
Glad I could help, I've been waiting on pictures. You done good! Edit - just a note of caution. Your barrel may get hot enough to melt your para cord if they come in contact. You might want to try looping the para cord through the front sight base above the gas tube and then run your sling thriugh that... |

Nice little carbine..... they almost feel like a toy.......till you pull that trigger!! |

I cant wait to get my E2 done!! But this M4 keeps getting in the wayyyyy....

HOLY CRAP!!!!! That is what I call Perfect!!!! |

Alright everyone. I've got a lot of slick uppers. Where can I get shorty pencil barrels for 607/609 builds? I never see them on the EE.
|
|
|
Just ask around. A friend of mine knew what I was trying to build, so while I was waiting for paperwork, his pencil barrel became available. Colt 1/7 twist - cut to 10.03" and mounted all for $50.00
|
|
|
J&T Distributing carries several lightweight pencil barrels. I used their 11.5 on my build. They are 1/9 twist |

All these XM177E-1's and 607's make my wallet weep. Stop guys, stop!
Does anyone know if Total Silence and NDS have considered getting together and offering a 607 lower "kit?" ~Augee |

Dang that 607 is so awesome. I think you inspired me to get my selector centerdrilled as well...hmm...

XDBACKUPGUN: Got Pics?
Staraero: Nope spent the cam money on ammo. |
Here's my XM177E2 clone: Del-Ton 16" lightweight rifle kit built on a Tactics A1 lower. Reverse flash hider for the moderator and CAR stock in place of the M4 stock which came with the kit. Tear drop FA was a special request as the lightweight kit comes with round FA.

As usual, UXB manages to post one of the best looking retros that I have ever seen.

Any new pics of your XM??? |
||
|
|
Now I hate uxb....................can you tell I'm jealous? The only way to settle this is if you give me the rifle. |
||
|
|
Sigh...................can you feel the hate? Didn't your parents teach you to share? Is that one of WATom's handguards? |
|||
|
The hate keeps me warm at night, I didn't have any parents - I was raised by wolves, and yes, those are Tom's handguards, charging handle, moderator and buttstock. |
||
|
Thats like..3 different movies rolled into one comment. |
|||
|
|
Where do you guys get those short triangle handguards?
|
|
|
Bump....added new pics of my rifle on pg 5
|
|
|
That's really cool, neverenuf!! Is it an SBR or is the barrel from Randall?
|
|
|
Blanco, It's pretty damn close to an SBR!! KKF did his kustom made 5.5 XM177 FH fitted to a J&T 11.5 lightweight barrel. Measures just a tad over 16" Pinned and welded over to keep it legal.

Wow, it fooled me! I'll have pics of my XM177E2 in about 6-8 weeks. Gonna send the forms this week hopefully. Gotta get up to the Sherrif's ofice and then I can send it out. Just a little note. My E2 will not be COMPLETED when I get the forms back, but the upper will be on my SBR'ed lower (which is my M4 lower, but I put my XM furnature on there) until I get the money together to complete my M4 upper. Then I need to get an NDS16A1 lower for the E2. |
