Well this is going to take a while to finish since I have to wait on Nodak-Spud to start selling the correct receiver again but here it goes anyways. First off, I have a C7 style upper and just decided to remove the shell deflector instead of waiting to find a real one. I also removed the Anchor Harvey forge marking and engraved the Colt proof stamps myself. I have the parts painted with a black paint pen just for the photo.

I usually get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I pee myself.  That is great work! I used to think about modifying a C7 upper, but everytime I looked at one, it just looked too hard and I put it away, even when I got my rotary table and vertical mill. So, you certainly have my respect! |

Thanks guys. OK, so now I need a new ejection port door. Any ideas where to get a retro one at? I know, the EE, but I have not found one yet. Going to go to a gun show in KC this weekend so maybe I can find one there. I have the buttstock, barrel, PG, and HG's lined up for it right now, and I have a BCG as well. Anything else I am missing besides the lower receiver?  |
Last year, on the retro forum, someone said they were hollow and full of sawdust or peanut butter or some such, so I was afraid to grind mine off!!!  Nice work DM1975, I may have to drag mine out tomorrow and go to whittling on it! 
|
Mmmmmmmm.... Peanutbutter.........

Thanks, it is some serious work getting it done smooth. Taking it down is no problem, but the blending for me is the hard part. |
That first line would make a great sigline quote if I didn't mind pissing off VAAR! I'll let it pass this time man, but next time all bets are off. j/k DM1975 - That is truly some talented work. You're a goddamn sculptor who missed his calling. We know you got nuts because you've BTDT, but damn, taking on the legendary Brunton Bump? That takes hair! Looks smoother than the upper I just got from OOW. What have you got planned for it? |
Thanks Just a simple 607 build. I have a set of handguards on the way, one of pan's buttstock creations in rout, and a Colt 1/12 barrel that will get sent to Steve to get cut down to size. I am probably just going to shoot the upper with Norrels right now. Only real hold up I have is waiting on a retro partial fence lower ( Mike  ) Faster I get that the faster I can get the engraving done and get the form 1 sent off. I already have an SBR'd LMT that I will take the upper out on to test for accuracy though

Sounds great! I guess the leadline of '607 build' might have clued me in if I hadn't had a few beers after being in the sun all day. DOH! I've been considering the SBR route myself for some time, except a regular carbine just seems so short already. With the 607 parts starting to come out of the woodwork again, I might just have to go there dammit. I really hate you guys sometimes for dangling stuff in front of me. I'm like a damn kitten with a bell on a string...

BRD is a bad disease, retro BRD is even worse, but retro BRD and SBR disease is killer sometimes. I thought my M4 was just so short till I got my LMT and man, that M4 feels so damn long now. I cant wait till I get this 607 completed, I just picked the wrong time to get a lower for it.

You can grind some A2's down into square 601 port doors, but you can't grind an A2 down into a rectangular A1 port door. Ask me how I know. 
You can't pay me to do that, even with the mill and rotary table. |
Get hold of Heatnbeat. He's making them. If you need his e-mail addy., IM me. |
