Well, it has taken me an embarrassingly long time to get my 601 out to the range. I finished the build in September 2013, and today was my first time shooting it. I know. . . 
Anyway, it went well. I got it sighted in to 100 yards. I was probably making 8" groups at that distance, but I'm to blame for that more than the gun is. At least those groups were centered. I also brought out my Garand. I've shot it a bunch before, but it's fun. Between the two of them, I got a lot of attention from one of the rangemasters as well as a few other shooters. Just after getting the 601 on paper at 25 yards, one guy asked me how much I wanted for it. Another pair of guys came over saying they'd been talking about building something retro just the other day. I encouraged them to join up here, and let them shoot the 601 a bit. They really liked it. Anyway, not much to show, I can never get good shots of my guns at the bench, but here you go:

Me too!
Well, I'd say go look at my build post, but since that was last posted in a year and a half ago, I guess that is a little unrealistic of me to expect.

Edit: And here's another old thread, which shows the furniture before it got cleaned up (Bottom set in the first picture): http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=123&t=598281 |
