So gentlemen, what have I done?
I got this from the EE. Played with it for about 20 minutes and I absolutely love it regardless but, I want to see what you guys can tell me about it. I plan on using it for a late 601 build. 
I assembled it with parts I had on hand for the photos. The firing pin and cam pin are from my 604 clone and the retainer pin is a DPMS I bought awhile back. Bolt is MP marked (the M is very faint). It has the cuts behind the locking lugs. The carrier key doesn't look the same as the 601's that I've seen and the staking looks a little rough. Otherwise its very clean and has minimal wear. I'm thinking, very late 601/602/very early 604? Like I said, I'm pleased with it, just looking for a little more info is all.

Well, let me try since I'm still in the learning phase.
For it to be 601/602 the key would have to be completely round and the band on your bolt would have to be narrow. So, I'm guessing 604. The key was restaked at some point with the original on top and the side staking added later. |

I jacked the firing pin and cam from another build just to give it a test. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a correct flat head pin. I suppose, ultimately, which one it ends up becoming will depend on what kind of uppers and barrels I can find.  I think this might be the one for you

| I wonder how much the reliability of current m16's would increase if they never did away with chrome BCG's? I know there were studies done back when they switched but lets face it those studies were a little biased, they cared a lot more about reducing cost than they did the reliability of the rifles. |
