Nice, but you need an XM16E1 in there also. Give us some details,  lower makers, etc. Any factory Colts in the bunch?

Quick!  Put that man in an isolation ward!

He has BRD!

Who has the ZMapp vaccine?

Not to mention he needs a 604 for sure - and at least a clone of the 601.  Green furniture really completes the set!

Needs more buttstock.

Nice family picture!

I will be done with retros for a while unless some really good opportunites come up. I have 27 ARs right now and I do plan on adding more eventually. I still have plans to build a 605. I really like these. Who knows, I may start getting a piece here and there and stash them away for a rainy day. I wish I had the money right now to buy a M16A1 parts kit. That would really be the best thing to get me started. All I would need to get then would be a NDS lower, 20" gov't profile barrel (cut it down to 16", rethread the muzzle, and open up the gas port). May be one day early next year I will get started.

Very nice! You really should put a fixed stock and a GP sling on one of those M4 barreled 723s though and try it out. Jes' sayin'.

Very nice.

The thirty round mag sticks out in that pic like a sore thumb. Funny how the twenty round are picture perfect.

Wow....very nice and certainly an inspiration.  Cool collection,  thanks for sharing your picture of the family.  

I came here to build one retro XM177E2 Clone build.....well that turned into also building a model 723 clone. ...and now I am up to five planned builds that I am gathering parts for....it really is addictive.   But it's so fun.

I have had the AKM bug for years....and have built or have enough parts to build an arsenal by the time I get done.  Now switching to CAR 's and M16 clones....lol....OMG.

But the guys over here are just great for advice and sharing info..
It's been a fun time so far.

Thanks guys. As most know, building retros is a labor of love. The reward is priceless.

That too. Several of you have been my inspiration and quite helpful with parts. For anyone considering a retro build, there is a mammoth amount of info and expertise here. I certainly try to help where I can. BTW, there is a green cotton web sling on the EE for sale.
