Things are looking up!  This turned out pretty nice.  The top moderator is a "Bricks" reproduction.  The bottom one is mine.  I need to dial in the tig welder a little better, but I'm happy with the result.

Excellent work, but I didn't expect anything less from you JT.  Are you also also running a batch of grenade rings to go with the mods?

I'll be ordering one along with a grenade ring when they're ready to be sold.

Outstanding John! Another void filled for the retro M16 crowd. I hope you offer grenade rings in the near future.

There are plenty!  I just hope they go over better than the replica early bend gas tubes did, ha!

I have a grenade ring that would look awesome with that moderator. I think this just might revive my XM-177 project, which was left dormant for years.

When/How much

Sorry,  wiping drool off.  Looks nicer than the one I have on my 630 clone.

You know I'll be in for one for my 609 clone.

Just an FYI, this is how the 203 fit before the M4 barrel with the launcher front bracket groove:

Yep, That's probably the single most requested part asked for.

This is amazing, now if we could just get someone to start reproducing 607 stocks again.

I'll take this as a sign that I must continue with my XM-177 build.

you know how it goes.  100 people will say they want something and you're lucky if you 30 pony up the money when the time comes.  plus the gas tube is for the moderately to seriously infected (those who will try to get correct looking parts that you can't see without disassembly).

John,

You will sell out in under a week if you make 100, I have 2 spare sets put away and was offered $200.00 for 1 set. I turned it down because I had no clue how long or if these would be made again.


ETA: I have an original Grenage Ring if you'd like to use it as a Templete, it would be my pleasure to send it to you.

I have my barrel and a Brick grenade ring ready to go out to ya John, only thing I'm missing is a moderator, sure will be nice when you can take care of that for us as well.
