I just got my stamp back in 48 hours.

Bought one of the H&R DOE 635's.

I have a CAR15 surplus stock on the way for it. The repro Colt aluminum one will do for now.

I just (mostly) finished this upper. It has a cut down Colt barrel with a Griffin Armament moderator. I'm pretty sure the upper receiver is an old Bushmaster or DPMS. I had a gray repro small pad ejection port door, but it wouldn't stay closed so I opted for the modern one. Just need a forward assist and then I can focus on the dedicated lower. Right now, it's sitting on a lower for one of my SBRs.

I can't prove it but I highly suspect the 607 belonged to the 7th Special Forces group, not a grunt unit.

Israeli-ish build I did years back. I found a Pro 5 red dot, sort of the Israeli take on the Aimpoint series circa 1990s, works well, not as well as something newer but.....that's not the point.

Thanks, the grip is an original 601 and it's just a tad bit darker green, it's close. Still got
to reprofile the upper yet, I'm a journeyman tool & die maker and the upper not looking right
eats away at me, lol.

Finally got my SBR approval for my 607. Unfortunately, I don't have my upper yet but I put on an upper from another project for time being.
