Hello all,,,, well like the title says, I recently gave the 601 a facelift .
I've had a type A stock for a long time that I bought with the intention Of using it as a template to make more type As out of wood. Ones that could Be wrapped in the fiberglass weave and used on my prototype, But it was time to paint it and use it. John Thomas did a awesome Job on the paint . Next it was time to swap out the nodak lower with 80% lower , Supplied by the braceman. Now I don't think the white lettering was standard , But I have seen pics of real ones with and without ,,, So why not. Next came the grenade sight , another custom creation From braceman. Enjoy .

| Now thats a different way of bringing it all together. Great job. May have to change my opinion of grenade sights. Guess it's the Yugo SKS turn off stuck in my head. Fantastic attention to detail and utilization of parts / resources. White inside engraving on your build looks much better than most the ternderfoot jobs I've seen. I'd say your build appearance is as good as any of the 01 clones I've seen, even if not 100% parts correct. Probably didn't cost $4K either. Again very nice job to all involved. |

Ya very little of the gun are original 601 parts, except the stock, Carrier, carrier pin and maybe the bolt, I'm not sure. The upper and barrel are mid 70s ( I think) sp1. All lower Parts are heat& beat, and all upper gunsmithing was done By John Thomas after I got it , ya I bought it mostly complete. I don't have the patience to build a all original 601, nor Do I want to spend that much on it. Nothing against the guys who do, Thosr rifles are the benchmarks, but I've got too many I want to do. I'm pretty much done with it, but I would really love to Find a cast FSB |

Very, very nice.
That "braceman" is a master of his craft. He has created some excellent items for me as well. Faux 607 buttstock prototype project |

I think he is going to do a run of 607 stocks soon. with that fancy new machine he got, there won't be much he can't Make... Which is good ,,,, i have done ideas! |
