I give you pictures of my 603/XM16E1 clone 
I had been wanting a retro for a while, and just so happened to come across the upper, bolt, BCG parts (not the carrier itself though), buffer, sight parts, and a ton of other small parts for a total of $8.52  So that became this rifle.
I am still having some difficulties getting it to actually run well, but I think with a new ejector/extractor, it will start working. Just need to get the chance for a little testing. I will have to post pictures of it with all the gear, I am a big Vietnam era field gear collector. I am in the process of downsizing some of my gear, so if you are looking for any period gear, PM me, I have it all! Specs are: AR15 hardware barrel DPMS carrier with Colt bolt and parts NDS lower JT repro 3 prong Ghetto/period looking single point sling made from a Korean web sling and a USGI shoulder pad Everything else is GI/surplus Special thanks to John Thomas for the barrel work and Jhud for the small parts I couldn't find. And to all of the retro forum for the help!!!! |
| As stated above what's not working? Who installed the FSB on the barrel? If you thinks it's BCG related do you have another to swap in it's place? Never personally had a problem with DPMS but wouldn't normally recommend them unless paying 50 cents on the dollar. Did you buy a $25 Colt bolt by any chance? They were removed and swapped for a reason. Still should be an easy fix. Do you have another mag to try? Yours looks well used! Check the hometown section above to find a member in your area for easy assistance. Nice looking rifle but it needs to function properly. Got the FCG springs assembled correctly? |
| Thanks guys! All the suggestions are appreciated and most have been checked out! I have another thread on here about the function problems, but I think I will have it resolved once I actually find some time to go to the range amd test a few things.If not, 3 local members have offered their assistance! Just thought I'd finally show off my rifle! |
