I would be very interested in helping you out. I have multiple online photo albums and can give specs on guns that I have built. I have replicas of prototypes, 601 through 610, plus a few other oddballs.
You can email me directly at [email protected] if you would like my assistance or have specific questions. John Thomas |

I too would like John to help you out!
He would be in the top tier here in the forum - knowledge, skill, history, builds, photos, custom work - Let us know when the issue goes out! |

E-mail sent to John,
TexSquirrel, can you IM me or e-mail me at reedrob1 at hotmail.com so I have your contact info? The article isn't due for a few months yet and I have other articles to finish first. I just wanted to see if people were interested in helping before I pitched it to my editor. It looks like it would work so I'll plan to pitch it to relatively soon. It may be a couple months before I actively start working on it though, so don't worry if you don't hear from me for awhile. |

There are some very good examples here, looking forward to seeing it. Guess I better buy up all the original parts that I want before this thing goes mainstream, they're sure to dry up sooner or later anyway. |

The article isn't due for several months and then there is a lag between deadline and publication. Plus, I haven't even got the editor to approve it yet. I just wanted to make sure it was doable before I pitched the idea. (I have had other article ideas die due to lack of available resources/info and/or photos). |

I'd be willing to contribute pics of both my M231 clone build and my photos of the actual M231 I was issued as "inspiration to realization."
And before you ask - if you hit the "Email user" button if and when you want, I'll get it. ~Augee |

Lack of resources/info/photos will NOT be a problem. There are enough knowledgeable individuals in this forum to supply enough info/pics to fill volumes. I am constantly amazed by the knowledge base of a handfull of "old timers". (not neccessarily old, but old hands at retro) |

Great. Now we'll NEVER be able to find parts...
Seriously, more power to you, but I kind of wish our little secret had remained a secret a few more years...  I would definitely buy a copy just to see pics of what folks have here. I would like to say however, that we don't know you very well, and I would hope that guys would vet you a bit before sending you pics of what they have via email.  Just thinking careful you know?

Just thinking careful you know?Hopefully increased interest will push demand past the point where it's economical for more than just NDS to make uppers and lowers for us. Perhaps even far enough for aluminum stocks! I've got an SBR GAU-5A/A, early R604 and a late R603 I could contribute as well as the wife's 16" R653 in black as an example of using more modern bits to make a retro clone. |

Just thinking careful you know?No problem. I'm not going to ask for specific photos until the editor approves the idea. I've been on the site for about a dozen years, although I think I've only posted in the retro forum once or twice.

Just thinking careful you know?I have to admit that that was my first thought when I read the title, as well (with a bit of profanity sprinkled in). Pics and such would be cool, but damn, part costs are already in the stratosphere. |
