Yeah, why is it untacked now?

Iwas making room in case we need some new tacked threads like we have been discussing.
I toggled the archive tab, so it will never drop into the archives though. |

Just finished my 607 lower tonight. Now I need the flash hider, cut the barrel and a tax stamp.

Looks like a wave of 607's are coming.

I tried to drill a test hole (rear lower hole) on an ArmaLite A2 lower.
I had modified a Model1 lower block by bolting a piece of metal on top of the block to hold the lower steady. Something happened to either the lower block or the clamp. End result was the endmill snagged the edge of the lower and milled a large hole in the takedown detent spring channel. I'm glad I toasted an ArmaLite A2 lower instead of my NoDak lower. I was able to "repair" the lower by tapping what was left of the channel and cutting the detent spring in half. A set screw now holds the "custom" spring in place. It looks nasty, but will be functional. I ordered a CNC jig to hold my NDS-601 lower steady while I drill the rear lower hole needed for pinning on a 607 buttstock. Hopefully I'll get it sometime next week. |

Our first attempt at drilling the rear takedown detent hole resulted in a little bit wandering. Not enough to do any damage thankfully. Then we used the punch to make an indent for the bit and it went smooth from there, varying the pressure to keep the bit straight. |

My problem was trying to deepen the rear hole with the endmill.
I'll make sure I use a center punch for the small roll pin hole. |

[#13]
I used a center punch and drill a starter hole with a smaller bit. I drilled thur the outside of the take down spring hole. I then used the 1/8/ drill and had no problem drilling it.

I am mentally and emotionally drained after mounting this bad boy. Even though my buddy did all the hard work.... ;)
This is such an amazing stock. The attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into it is incredible. Taking it apart and mounting it to a lower really made me appreciate the r+d, and hardwork that went into MY65SPAN's stock..... Anyway.... off to bed. |

[#15]
How are people choosing to finish the metal on MY65SPAN's stock?
Was considering park'ing the lower rod assy. but since I can't disassemble it, not sure how that would turn out. |

Why can't you dis-assemble it? Just take the lever screw and buttplate screw out, pull off the lever and buttplate, and then pull the locking tube out the front of the stock body. At this point you can partially extend the locking tube to reach the set screw that secures the locking pin. The set screw is in the end of the inner locking rod. Once you loosen the set screw just pull out the pin and slide the rod out of the tube being careful not to lose the detent ball and spring. I hope this helps. |

AWESOME instructions!
I plan to put one on an AR10A2 and locate or make some midlength triangular handguards... |

Well my CNC jig finally came in so I gave it another try.
(This time on my NDS-601 lower) I got the lower bolted into the jig, and put it in my drill press vise. I took the belt off my drill press and turned it by hand. It took about 15 minutes for me to get it to the depth I wanted. (.365) I've got a couple of new blisters on my right hand now. I cut off the aluminum rod with my bandsaw about 1/16 too long and used a file to get the rod to the exact length I wanted. The stock now fits perfectly. I decided I'd save the drilling of the hole that holds the rod for another day. I'm pretty tired from working overtime and want to make sure I do a good job.. Hopefully I'll get a chance tomorrow to drill it. If not it will be a couple of weeks before I get to complete it. This is an awesome stock. If I could keep my eyes open I'd head back outside and finish the job! |

I think I remember seeing this thread, and was just mystified by the stock.

I was fortunate to be contacted by a member that was selling a "New In Wrap" bolt-on TSI 607 stock assembly when I was building my dedicated 22lr 607. A fellow retro member (braceman) made a fixed (closed) 607 style version for me. I sent the raw metal and RRA entry length buffer tube to John Thomas for anodizing. It turned out pretty darn nice.

Bumping this 607 stock's modification of receiver How To , so it doesn't get lost in the archives.

I have learned a few time consuming, (and at least one expensive) lesson in the 20 or so Ive installed. I would like to share a little of that here. If using this method (non-threaded) do not install the rod with the stock open. You run the risk of the tube not locking when closed. Always pin the rod in place from the closed and locked position. It is a good Idea to mount the receiver where the locking pin is held down by gravity. If your lever does slip out of time after instal, no problem, just remove the lever plug mark and re-pin it. I mentioned above threading... not to many folks knew about threading these early on. One of our members was able to come across a rear section of an original, and another was able to get pics of one in a museum. With this info, a few of us have done threaded installs. I myself, will never do it any other way, I believe it makes it easier to install. Here is a video explaining a threaded install.

RBRD infected, and contagious. Keep back and communicate with caution. Exposure may result in lost money, and more builds than necessary or desired, combined with excessive trading and swapping.
