As a continuation to yesterday's picture post, (located here:  http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/674349_.html&page=1)... I have added a few pictures of the "oddballs" below.

(From top to bottom):

- Early M4
- Delta HBAR
- AR15A2
- Canadian C7
- M231
- 630 (GAU-5)
- 604 with dummy M203
- 621
- Early SP1
- "Battle worn" 601
- My first prototype attempt
- AR14 "concept gun"
- LeFrance M16K

After yesterday's post, a few guys asked me, "What's next?"... I have a 9mm DOE replica that is nearly done.  I'm also working on a "Son Tay raid" style carbine.

Maybe one day, I'll get them all outside in good lighting, get some "real" pictures of everything together.

Enjoy the pics,
John Thomas

John, Wow. So much to see in just a couple of pics. I remember you posting many of those over the years. The flat top proto, the M231, the SCHV. Please post more pics and details of them all, again. And again!

Thank you, guys.  The details of nearly every gun in these two posts can be found in the forum archives.  If you google search "jntmjt1" and the model number of the gun you are interested in, you'll likely find all the detailed pictures and information.

You'll like the DOE if you haven't had one yet. It's fun and cheap to feed.

I wanted to build my 605 like that after seeing it - but Heatnbeat just did too nice a job on it!

Well now you are just showing off!  

Very nice!  Just makes those of us with 8 or 10 models feel like real slackers!  

(shuffles off to place another order with NDS and see what parts in the cardboard box look like the start of a new build )

The AR14 proto is by far my favorite JT creation, they're all beautiful but that AR14 is just an amazing piece of art.

Very awesome, thank you for sharing. The battle worn 601 is my favorite by far. Just something about a 601 that is so cool.....

Working on a third from the bottom. Anyone know a source of trigger upper or if anyone is going to make more? I may just use a normal A1 upper with a first type triangle CH.
