Very nice work...what profile is the barrel? It looks beefy (but that might just be me). Have you had her out on the range yet?

Look good, nice work. Who's A2 lower did you use?

I like builds like this. It may not be "correct" in all of the details, but it captures the retro style very well. I've always liked the look of a three-prong.
The barrel may add a little weight, but as far as appearance goes, that offends me less than, say, an A2 grip would have! Be sure and post a range report when you get the chance! |

Well done. Nice the stenciled "60" was retained. I'd have left the tape "499" on there as well, but it ain't my rifle and I'm not criticizing the man for removing it. Certainly the tape would get ragged on a using rifle, sooner instead of later.

Just wait, the barrel will bother you not being correct, you will get a different lower to match the upper. then you have extra parts for another build.
Next thing you know you have parts for 10 builds. |

Yes please don't think I was criticizing the barrel I just couldn't quite tell in the pics! Either way it's a nice looking rifle and should be a great shooter!

Welcome to the sickness bubba!
It's terminal. There is no known cure. Only expensive treatment available on the EE and Gun Broker. 
Nice looking pea shooter. Hang with us and it will be the first of many! |

No offense taken, I have all the original barrel parts for when I get the pencil profile I just couldn't wait that long! correct lower will be harder I have never seen one for sale.
I started building AKs now that AR parts have come down to even with AK kits I have started building these and it is becoming a problem 
Now I need some funky brown furniture and a slab sided upper

If you have interest in finishing an 80% lower, Braceman reprofiles a A2 casting and can apply any engraving you want on it. John Thomas does a great job on the anodizing when Braceman is done. You can't go wrong with either lower it's just a matter of preference.

Kindof looks like a 606 to me! Nicely done!
