I write a series of books called the AK47 catalog, which is essentially a photo guide to all the different AK variants,and when possible, their changes over time, etc
Anyways, also interested in retro AR stuff.. I had a little extra time in a few European collections this week and photographed a couple "retro" pieces. I did photoshop out the last three of the serial numbers to be on the safe side. Colt 610. This is a commercial / export piece, and is from the UK.. As this on display, I presume the hole is from being bolted to a display at some point. 
Colt XM177E2 with US Property markings.. They had other similar USGIs (no 607 though) like "Commando" rollmarked XM177E1s but this was the last piece I had time for. 
Anyways, I hope you enjoy them. |

Thanks for the pictures OP. Makes me wonder where have all the old Colt MP marked carbine pencil barrels went? It's rather easy with a little patience to find a M VP 12 barrel but try to find a old Colt carbine barrel.
