Well it seems my original thread on my build has made it's way into the archive and I can't find it. I ended up scoring some no drain handguards, 601 buffer tube w/flats which has original awesome finish and a decent Edgewater. The bolt is complete but seems to be a bone of contention with the wide band MP parked bolt. She'll end up wearing a C stock for that transitional 1964 look. For those that remember the barrel is a M VP 12 with cast FSB as well. Everyone loves pictures so here are some.
PS The beer is a Three Floyds Alpha King APA. It was a long day at the big house.......

That's a real nice upper!
I need an earlier one and some no drain holes for my early 604 in progress. |

Very nice stuff. It might be more correct with a 601 port door. Maby others will chime in on that. Beautiful upper.

The new port door did start appearing on the M16 and XM16E1 in 1964. If I threw a 601 door on her I guess I'd have to ditch the wide band parked bolt for a chrome wide band then. |

Heck yeah, go ALL early it will be more unique AND sexy (at least to RETRO guys) |

Thought about a real 601 door and real transitional bolt release but the money is sick on those. Going to get a repro transitional release from JT but soon I'm going to have to start looking for a early bend tube. Was Colt still using carbon steel gas tubes in 64?
