I got a barrel from Macon Armory. Used front site I set screw in. I'll look back where I got the 9mm rear peep as it's different than a standard A1, though thinking it was Rock River maybe?

Is there any 634 kicking around down there. The 634 is the semi auto only version of the 635 9mm SMG. I know up here there was a bunch of contract over runs released to the civilian market and then there was some LE trade ins. The lowers say 9mm SMG on them. The only other option is buying a regular 9mm lower and putting a 10.5" upper on it.

They are not as common as other retro guns and the supply will dwindle as the retro addicts consume the surplus. One can find a slick slide 5.56 carry handle upper and add the 9mm parts to get a resemblance. |

Doah! I think I paid about the same price about 7 years ago. I'm tempted to get that kit as spares! They weren't as common when I was looking and I had to have one.

Thanks, that gives me some really good information. I got caught up in the retro bug with a Troy XM177E2 and then a few from Brownells. Now I’m hooked.

I picked mine up on GB for about $550.00. The outside was well worn but inside like new. It shoots great! It came with a Colt one piece block, but I used a Hann drop in block for quick change out to 5.56mm. It works great.

I built a clone before knowing what it was (Colt 635) and put an A1 grip on mine. Guess I'll have to swap it out with an A2 to be more accurate.
Got the Colt upper years ago. Must have been a group demill?  Attached File |

Are any companies making a 10.5” 9mm barrel with a 0.625” journal, and/or with the 0.625” front sight base installed?

I have a bunch of Colt 9mm stuff kicking around as I kind of went on a bender on it.
I have stripped and partially stripped upper receivers and I believe an 11.5” Colt barreled upper as well as a NOS stripped upper. Let me know what you need and I’ll see if I have it. |

JT Distributing makes a lightweight 9mm barrel. If you phone the order in they will install whatever front sight base you want (F marked or A2). https://jtdistributing.com/10-9mm-lightweight-barrel Quote HistoryQuoted:

I just bought an smg 635 complete upper very reasonable but I’m using a colt pistol lower with sba3 I just don’t have patients for an SBR wait I also built a few over the years and my early TA seriel number Colt carbine was basically same thing with A 16” barrel.
I just bought a 6951 unfired in box with 3 colt mags in wrappers for $900 and I’m turning it into an older 6450 look , just got colt carry handle and 6 hole skinny HGs for it. But I love the colt 9mm dedicated lowers they run everything with no issues IMO I’m using a Blitzkreig buffer with springco 308 carbine spring it’s light night and day from a heavy buffer setup, |
