Well, I've been gathering parts for a while now, and have gotten pretty far.  I still need a Flash Hider & Split Washer from JT, but I'm not really counting those parts,

because he's the one who will be finishing the Top End and the Furniture.  But I still need a Barrel.  But now that I have the NDS-15U Upper, I have a really beautiful

604 Upper with Port Door Assembly, a matching Windage Drum, a Flat Slip Ring and an NDS Triangle Charging Handle that I'll be able to use for trading material for the

barrel I want (hopefully)  So, anyway, here's the pic.



I'll appreciate any comments, or suggestions.


Slip Ring & Bipod Ring -- Braceman  (Great Guy)  He also made the FSB, but I got that from Trimdad
BCG - HipSh0T
Gas Tube & assorted small parts - GeoBartlett
Dimpled Safety & 601 Mag Button - Jhud

Very nice start you have there.  Those proto rifles are as cool as it comes.  Looking forward to progress pictures.

That's who braceman was making those slip rings for .
Looks good so far. Glad you could put that front site base to use.

gorgog, that is a beautiful rifle you have there.  I hope mine turns out as nice.

Thanks for posting the pic.  And Thank you for reminding me that I need to get an Old Sling for this rifle.

It's not so much the Upper & Lower that's the problem, its the FSB, that's the hardest thing to get your hands on PERIOD.......

You got that right. The Proto's are very beautiful and time consuming, I bet about a third of the price is unseen labor...maybe more.

Sort of. Nobody makes anything commercially that's a exact match
For the originsl prototypes . Nodak spud has some AR10 round
Handguards. These are what most everyone uses ... Unless
You have something custom made.

If you have it really bad like I do, that's not even the hardest part. You'll need to recreate the original bolt carrier, gas key, buffer, and fire control group from scratch.
