Mark,,you can now rest easy in the knowledge that any and ALL covert operations planned for the infiltration and abduction of YOUR heavily guarded, beautiful mottled HGs have been permanently scrapped.
Pics do not do these justice.FTF these show nice shades of light amber up to "root beer" brown. Some gold as well.Chunks and flakes of fiberglass look like you could slide your finger nail under them and lift them right off.

cool. i've got some with drainholes that have the nice mottling like your set. i've been casing his place too for the set i posted pics of. i have a set but the left side has a hairline crack and the mottling doesn't match like his matched set. try taking the pic outside in natural light and see if i brings out the mottling more. |

Very nice. Sounds like you have the 02 package. Thanks for sharing. Pretty sure I've got a few mottled sets missing teeth, cracks etc but all are drains. Probably PIF or freebie sometime soon. Correct you are my Friend. Have had it for several years now but could not find a nice left HG,,had one from Dean but it was damaged.Used it as a place holder till this one showed up from Peter_Sam. Now THIS is a 602:

They are some great looking sets! Beautiful set OP. The second full set on the rifle are a perfect looking match.
I don't know how you are getting the lighting to show them off so well. I got a set in one of the kits that cleaned up great. Not as nice as the OP's set, but full of silver flakes. Can't get them to show up in any of the pictures though. The right guard was missing the fourth tooth, so I repaired it with black dyed epoxy. If you look close you can see some of the silver flakes it this shot. Wish they were as nice as that first set, it would give me an excuse to start another project...

Now THIS is a 602: Guessing it's all bonafide too, except NDS? Almost doesn't sound right NY'er whistling Dixie! "Den hoe it down and sctatch your gabble" "To Dixie Land I'm bound to trabble" "Look away! Look away! Look away! " It's an early Colt sp1 lower |

It's an early Colt sp1 lower Didn't really look very hard. Assumption! Sure is one fine looking rifle and I guess that makes it even more bonafide! See the stock pin hole now. Should have a nice retro mag w/ block somewhere in pic. Actually is an 80% that I reprofiled to slab side. I do however, as Hal mentioned have an SP1 lower shares the same serial number as an original 602. Like I did for my 601,I used an SP1 sn # 49x, had Victor install a bushing that YOU CAN NOT SEE. This 602 will wear serial # 23,xxx. However Victor was not able to do the bushing work but did agree to anodize. He had me send to M60Joe. Unfortunately while his bushing is fully functional,,it does not "disappear" like Victors does. Bottom line,,my "anal meticulousness" made me hunt down 2 early SP1 lowers that share real serial numbers with a real 601 and real 602. 601s go from approx 101 up to 14,xxx. 602s go from approx 22,xxx up to 39,xxx |
