Nice! I wasted today grinding the fence off a DPMS lower with a bench grinder, and trying to modify a bolt release with a Dremel. I didn't finish grinding, and I ruined a perfectly good bolt release. Sooo...I spent the rest of the afternoon looking at mini-mill advertisements. I'm thinking about getting a small hobby-type vertical mill, about $500 worth. By spending $500, maybe I won't ruin another $6 bolt release. |
 Howd the receiver come out? The 601 looks great so far!!!! |
Thats what I probably should have done...I just like messing with stuff, and I have a bunch of A2 receivers lying around. I'm still not done with it, need to finish grinding off the fence and profile the back left side. |
I was looking at mill/lathe ads, too...here's what I came up with -  www.smithy.com/product_home.php?cid=1&scid=21&pid=1009 It's not all that different from the Chinese/Harbor Freight 3in1 that I have now, except for one big important difference...Quick-Change Gearbox!!!

Many of 'em were issued w/ a M-1 Garand/M-14 type sling from what I gather. My dad has a pic with him holding one with exactly that style sling in '67-'68 @ Dong Ha IRRC. I've been trying to get him to make copies of some of his pics so I can have ones to post. |
The sling pictured through out 50-12 is the correct Colt 601 sling, part number 62149. It lacks the "belt buckle" found on the USGI sling. |
Depends on your definition of right. I go by factory original, and factory original at the time had no belt buckle. |
I still don't have such a sling, so I don't have any details such as length. |
