I got this 605 upper the other day. It was a little roough on top of the carrying handle. That has been taken care of now. Off to US Anadozing to be refinished. Any one have a closeup of the shortened barrel? The barrel that came with was a standard 20" "M VP 12" which would be the correct era for the upper.

that looks like a 601/602 barrel with 12 twist .......I didnt know the 605 came with the Cast FSB |
I believe they came with either the cast or forged FSB |
The guy I got this 605 upper from- had 250 uppers he rescued from the cutting torch 15yrs ago. He only had two 605 uppers like the one pictured. One has to be persistant and somewhat lucky to find this stuff. I tracked down friends and dealers I used to know back in the 80's to find some of my stuff. |
   On my full auto lower... s186.photobucket.com/albums/x115/coctailer/?action=view¤t=MVI_7268-edited.flv Thank you 45Bravo for the barrel work on my Non-SBR rifle. Functions perfectly. |
Mike, I think it's an optical illusion caused by the angle of the forward taper. Follow the lines it makes against the side of the receiver in Cocktailer's third photo. |
Awesome. |
But why in the world would you want to hang a A 605 is street-legal with the three prong. |
I tried hanging a KX3 on an 18" heavy barrel once. Took it off before I ever put a round through it. It was an issue. Pig looked good though. |
The 605 uppers are cool, I haven't really looked at one before. It almost appears that they had been forged for a forward assist and said, naaaa heck with it, shave it off....
I've always liked the look of this model. Thanks for sharing all of your pics. |
Don't know where he gets his stuff either, but I've purchased from "Tgus" on the EE in the past and have been very, very HAPPY!! |
|
45Bravo did the barrels on both of mine. Permanently pinned 3 prong hider. They run perfect! Disclaimer: Does not have autosear, all semi-auto components. just surface markings for visual enjoyment.  I know... the sling is on backwards, too busy to take new photos.     |
So, Mike...does this mean you're gonna make some of these?? In all of your spare time? 
|
That's the plan. We're going to do 50 of them (NDS-605's) along with the first batch of 100 NDS-603's. |
Damn! Two! Nice work by 45bravo, and very nice display. Did not know there was a 605 manual. |
...got to justify the one I am using on my .22lr build..(the 604s are really correct as well.)
Grip has slight amount of mottle to it. I was trying to go with a "factory new" look on this one, the butstock and handguards were in new condition also. The barrel was a 20" Colt later model. I could not bring myself to have one of my VP "12" marked barrels chopped and then it not work. I had 45Bravo do the barrel work over a year ago. At the time there was some doubt about reliability. I would not hesitate to send in the correct VP barrell now, as these two run perfectly.
I built the 605 in the display for my Son on his 30th birthday. The Retro-BRD has now passed down to another generation. I made up that manual to go with the display. Has the history of the 605 with every picture and spec I could pilfer and put into a booklet. |
They are nice to look at but they are a lot of fun to SHOOT! |
