Hi all, as many of you know I've been recovering from surgery & out of the loop for a while.
I really don't want to spend coin on Fulton or some Fleabay entity that I don't have a re-pour with.
So, can anyone here recommend someone that has a line on a 3 prong, this is going to be a build for a long time long friends son.
He will be graduating from the USAF Academy soon, so I'm pulling out all the stops while my body can still do it.
Many Many Thanks in Advance, you are a Great Groups of Guys & there's a few here I'd surely buy the first round of beers for without hesitation.

As savvy as I like to think I am with retro, I don't know what 1st or 2nd Generation means.
I just know there is a 601 &  early 604 3 prong.

Sorry,  601- First gen, 604- second gen. I have examples of both I was just trying to find out which you
needed because I would give you the one you need  I would love to be able to help you out on this build.

I need the 604 3 prong, I considered doing a 601 since a large portion went to the USAF, but parts are a almost non existent & well out of my price range

Hell no but I gotta talk to the last person to buy from this guy to see if he got his stuff in a timely mannner, I know Alaska is a real long way from CT but I spent the extra money to get his Money Order Air Mailed 2nd day Express.

any place where those of us behind enemy lines can get one that is closed off but has the same look?  We are only allowed comps, no flash hiders

Maybe try CNC warrior or hit up John Thomas and see if he can help you out.

I have a few used ones with split washers. Only catch is someone removed them with a pipewrench. I picked thru and took out the least dinged up ones. I'm out of town until next Friday (10 Oct). I can send pics to those interested at that time.
