I even have one of the original firing pin retaining pin designs, which makes me appreciate the cotter pin improvement a lot. View Quote How so? I have several rifles with the original type of FPRP, and have not noticed any issues, but haven't run any 3 gun matches with them either. The sproing you describe is mildly annoying to annoying at times, and definitely more noticeable on some than others. Nice rifles. I have some parts, but haven't started the build yet. I want a .22 605 and a .223 605. Both! In on the thread. |

How well does the cmmg 22 barrel setup work? I'm thinking about using one for a build.

It's an after market part, but I can see why they went to the cotter pin. |

Yeah, I guess I forgot the issues with one or two FPRPs I have had. I actually had one that featured little nubs on the split end that helped hold it in place. But as LRRP points out, they are not perfect. Broke one early on trying to spread it.
For some reason I just like the looks of them more than a cotter pin. YMMV. |

This. Harder to get out on mine. The cotter pin is a much superior design, and simpler, cheaper to replace...My Xm16E1 is the only AR I own using the old style FP retainer. |

Well, here you go. My 605 is finally together. The upper arrived from John Thomas today. He also refinished the dimple pins and drilled the selector. JT does some great work and his customer satisfaction is second to none. The FSB came from Stoner. It was intended for my 607 build, but I sent him the wrong one. I could not let all his hard work go to waist. If you get the chance to get anything he made you will be impressed. The lower was a virgin RGM pre ban full fence that I turned into a partial fence (sorry HipShot). Chrome BCG. The finish looks a little darker in color in my crappy iPhone pictures then it is, but you get the idea. I have not shot it yet as I put it together today. http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/04E10B5B-42C1-41F3-B7A3-CF7B35C7FB03_zpspxmuanld.jpg http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/435DD296-09E6-4986-899C-92BC5FB1B41A_zpsgwmcyuwk.jpg http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/E6C6D4D4-E7AE-4C74-BB3D-C62775BD315B_zpsowyv4ooq.jpg http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/0C4F5918-8A00-4FE0-8E92-26EC6A1D2496_zps8exuqiss.jpg http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/DD69DA0C-550E-43E7-82B7-9AF42D36A201_zpsjwlui9yy.jpg http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag132/58Bisc/guns/4223E068-7124-4557-8BF6-2EEC0F6B0376_zpsnooobivm.jpg View Quote Looks great, I have too much to worry about these days to bitch about what you do with your preban lowers, I need to finish my own 605, file my tax stamp for SBR's, find my brother a SP1 before Oct. 21st, and I'm constantly worried about this Cancer situation. |

If you want it to look correct AND are going to run a suppressor, then SBR it. Easier to just go 16" in that case however, and saves you $200 and the NFA weirdness when going state to state. I think pinning the FH is the way to go IMO. Mine wears a repro 601 FH BTW. |

[#35]
For me, pinning made sense. The measurements are the same, just can't unscrew the three prong. This 605 rifle has a different feel then any of my other rifles or carbines. Kind of the best of oth worlds.
|

[#36]
What are the possibilities of leaving it the extra 1/2" in barrel length and putting 1/2" deeper threads into the flash hider to keep it legal? (or if not enough length, have a FH with a bit longer trunk
to accommodate) |

[#38]
That .22 605 looks great. Also really like the salvaged upper aspect to it. Recycle, repurpose, resuse.
Anyone ever try to "roll your own" 605 upper by milling off the FA bolster? Would require some filling I guess. |

[#39]
yankee V,
Yes I am "rolling my own". I cut of the F/A bump, had it welded locally and shipped it to Braceman for finally shaping. I will post a pic when I get it back before I coat it. Best, BC |
