Thanks for the nice comments guys

Very nice rifle.
Thanks for sharing your pics.
No problem, photography is another hobby of mine. I think your black H&R upper would look really nice on a lower like this, I think my upper would be a better color match some PWA lowers I have seen.

Very nice. Hope it shoots great.
Short days, too much rain and snow to get out right now.

Very nice rife! Man, I love 603 clones. Don't know why. Just says "M16" to me.
They do say "M16" to me too and the parts are much easier to find than the older ones

Charging handle looks like the two 1970's vintage Colt CHs I have.
Yep - one of the Colt AR guys here says if the CH is nicely machined and looks pretty - it likely isn't Colt. He went through a bunch of old CHs I had and bought
the worst looking ones.
YMMV
Edited to add: The handguard rings come in a lot of shades of black, purple, grey and bronze/brown. And GI ARs often don't color match between upper and lower. YMMV
I like seeing the uglier parts, pictures are always appreciated. I'm helping a couple other members put together "been there done that" rifles, both will need gold / bronze tint CH, slip ring, and trigger guard. I have a
WTB and
WTT ad with details. (I trade nice parts for the right ugly parts)

this one i paid $265.00 for it at a auction it was beat up pretty good
had the front handguards was held on with duct tape .

Those are both really cool, I'd like to see a purple tint upper on the 1st one. (I am seeing a purple tint in the lower)
