I only have bayonets for two of them. The M16 Training Rifle, aka "Rubber Duck" came with that one. I have one other M7 bayonet on my Vietnam-era cartridge belt setup.

You bet I do. I am well equipped. A weapon is no good without magazines and ammo and plenty of each.

How have you gone this long without a 604? I would imagine that will be a cake walk compared to some of the other rifles you have put together.

It took me years to get around to building the 605. In the meanwhile, I keep doing others, but for some reason, I kept dancing around the 604. It needs to fill the gap between my 603s and my 605. One good thing, I already have a set of handguards waiting to be used.
