Hey , That Clown Buzgun does some nice work !!----  seriously --  the photo's above are of the first one i did ,  i have just bought a XM compete std. upper from the EE , and i am going to modify another DPMS to XM specs.  -- if you want , i could take step by step photos of the process --  there is some TIG welding involved - if you want the back to turn out good - as the A2 reinforcement has a small "ring area" on each side that i had to weld build up - but IMO it is not a good idea to go to work on these with just hand files -  especially on a Colt !


A step by step guide would be great!

Couch-Commando- Could you use an SP1 setup for a 601 clone? You'd be 98% there already

Yeah, I guess doing the lower myself for 601 wouldn't be the smartest idea. I was just wondering about that. What I am seriously considering it an XM177E1 clone, which would have the partial magazine fence. I don't have access to specialized tools, so that's why I am so interested in shamayim's project.
