Tell me this wouldn't be sweet. It only costs as much as a new car. I can make my jalopie run for at least another ten years right......

Commercial Export - 1965 according to the serial number sticky.

Is this the real deal though? No US govt. marks. Caliber .223 not 5.56. Is this an M16? It sure looks like what I think a 604 should be...

Commercial export! Well, still an awesome gun!!!

Everything looks correct, except a "transitional" 604, except for the C MP C barrel  A true '65 should have an MvP 12 barrel.

Your correct, and the very early rebated port door 604 upper had the M VP 12 barrel. A C MP C barrel is much too late for a transitional model 604, that barrel is correct for a late 604 with round forge receiver, full fence A1 lower, and birdcage FH. A transitional model 604 would most likely have a MP C barrel, or at the latest a C MP B barrel.

Making the Link Hot for those who can't see it.

ETA - That is a sweet FA 604 though, I could make that work and put the correct early 604 parts on it, one thing the upper has going for it, is that it sports a transitional slickside BCG. The lower is sexy, I'd trade my first born for it. lol
