Wow! Great job! I was the first to have Braceman weld an XM16E1 to an 80% lower. I e had him do six 6️⃣ f them total. I have Colt, GM, and H&R magwells welded to 80% lowers. My prize is my XM177E2. It was restored with all original parts except the moderator. Those are illegal in my state. Super job on your 601!

I remember your XM177E2 my XM16E1 magwell with the raised plus cost around $10 less than what you paid for that E2 magwell Originally Posted By TGWLDR: Originally Posted By Sputnik556: How much were those kits? Right around the $2k mark, IIRC? $3-4k. Mine with the magwell was closer to $4k but it also came with complete 601 upper, Winchester 1/14 twist barrel 601 BCG, 601 pistol grip. In fact the only things in the kit that weren’t from a 601 are the hand guards, buttstock, buffer, and charging handle |

The kits that I saw were obviously not 601s. |

It pained me to let mine go, but at the same time, what I got for it was hard to refuse.
I just hope it has been turned into a faithful clone. Theres a rifle in the Vickers guide that was only 7 digits later off the production floor |

Serial number 13,900 still had a Winchester barrel? I thought Colt started making their own in ~1962?

Originally Posted By AmericanSheepDog: OP, are you going to have him reproduce some markings on the right side? View Quote No. The only marking that was visible was P.R. And half of a number so I’m not sure what I’d have him reproduce. The “R” is still visible though BTW that’s a sweet reweld you had must’ve sucked to let that one go |
