John gave me some great help on the hand gaurds. His work was outstanding if I do say so myself. The mans an artist. I have not finished the 601 yet because it has taken me a while to figure out the charging handle for it. I bought some dimpled take down pins and bolt catch from Johns web site.I just haven't put them on yet.The charging handle it is in the white I just need a bit more work and a i can then anodize it. I did realize that the handle itself is not symmetrical. So I had to cnc this thing a couple of times but we got right. I should turn out a few more now that we got the g codes right. Its fun to finish a few projects. I made these from 80 percent receivers. There not perfect but they still look cool. They were a lot of fun to do. Hope you all enjoy em. So here I go again trying to post a photo I sure hope it works this time.

The zebra is a a gm replica I stamped from an 80%receiver and then had a friend profile. I then finished the fire control group. The upper is marked LM with an early barrel. As you can see I tried my best to match the original anodized color. The strips are od green paint using tape to outline it. The sling is nylon rope GI issue vietnam era i picked up at a surplus shop. It has an m-16 selector that was modified for ar-15 fire control parts from Sarco. Gives it that cool look. Hand guards pistol grip and buttstock are USGI. I am heading out of town for 4 days but will try to post more photos when I return. Thanks for lookin

Super cool rifles. I have a similar 601 build in the works based on John's furniture. I have a similar anodizing scheme in mind. Very coconut rifle-like. Great job and thanks for the pics.

The match of the anodizing between the upper and lower is amazing.  Usually, one is lighter than the other.

That Hydra-Matic just does it for me. That rifle says "shoot me." The zebra stripes look outstanding. A real inspirational post.
By the way, is there any kind of historical reference for this type of striping with paint in the field? I have seen a few photos with stripped up furniture, but I always thought it was with tape? |

Now thats a great photo Thanks for posting that one. Buy the way thanks for the comments everyone. I got the strips idea from Vietnam photos and went from there These were supper fun projects. I have to admit the anodizing matching did get a bit frustrating.

Yeah but the H and R below the GM was the harder one. It had a grey green upper that took some goofing around with bleach olive drabe and nln grey to match the lower. I think I did it 5 or 6 times and finally got it.

You guys like the socks very funny. I have to admit I laughed when I went back and looked I should do them zebra stripped also. My next project you all may like. I am going to try a prototype. Hopefully I can post a photo of the receiver art in the next few weeks. I am going to have to machine a 0 percent receiver to get the magwell to work and the mag release the correct size. Is there any interest in these? With a group I may be able to get the machining done for less. Email me if your interested
