I love all the fancy rare and obscure builds that come through here, but nothing beats a classic no-frills 603 IMO. Good job, I’ll be it shoots like a dream!

I love the one pictured in your avatar. It is just like the rifle I had in basic. I would love to find an old worn upper like that. Regards |

After having both a 1/7 and 1/12; the 1/12 is laser accurate with 55gr M193 you made the right choice on twist imho.
That is a nice NOS seatbelt sling and the furniture is in great condition. Good build |

I like how you not only went "two-tone" with a gray lower/black upper, but you also used gray parts on the black upper, and black parts on the gray lower.
It's different, and a pretty cool look. |

I love telling this story. I bought a complete NOS Colt M16A1 upper receiver from CDNN back around 2005 for ...... $325.  It's been pulled apart and parted out over the years.
