Looks good! Sorry, I cannot give you an answer on the bcg. I know JT did a lot of looking for the same info.......don't know if he ever decided or not which was correct.
I do have a question though........I thought you got a correct rear cap from me??? maybe not........that one looks like a Primary Ind. |

Man you are going to start my 607 fever again! I have to finish my 605 first. Almost done... Your 607 looks great!
I have a transitional set up also. Park carrier, chrome gas key and bolt. I have a chrome solid firing pin retainer also. I could not get an answer to this question when I was searching, since all of the original examples seem to be a little different. No one is sure if they were modified over the years or came that way. |

I bought it from another ARFCOM member in late 2012 or early 2013. I cannot remember. It has been so long. My gunsmith did an excellent job on installing the stock. Milling the rear of the receiver was the easiest part. He said when he went to drill the hole for the roll pin, he measured several times since he was only going to get one shot at it. He nailed it. That is why I trust my guns to him and have done so for several years now. After two years of waiting for this, that, and the other, I am glad to see it finaly done. |
well..........this isn't going to make you happy. These are some of the pics that 101ABN327 posted several years ago. Pics from the military museum somewhere out in Ok, to the best of my recollection. Looks like an xm16e1 carrier. I use a transitional carrier in mine, but that's because I run a slicksided upper right now. When I finally put together a forward assisted upper I'll probably use the xm16e1 carrier.

| Well, the pictures from the original manual show the same XM16E1 chrome carrier with full round parked key and parked extractor. So do the pictures I found of a different gun that is detail stripped and has a different moderator. They also use the "new" firing pin and firing pin retainer, not the original solid retainer. |
haha really nice build tho

I'm in Oklahoma. ,, what museem did you see this in ? Trimdad........it wasn't me, it was 101ABN327. I could be wrong on the location. Let me go look through some old notes of mine and I'll see what I can come up with. Edit: This carbine is in the arms room at the 45th Infantry Div. Museum in Oklahoma City. It is on loan from the US Army Center for Military History: Trimdad, he originally posted these, along with many others of the same carbine, late in '11. I suspect that if it was on loan that it may have been moved since then, but who knows. I am also not sure of the location of the US Army Center for Military History. |

Our 45th infantry Museem has a great collection but it's all pre Vietnam . My guess is it's at the fort sill army artillery base. I haven't been there since I was a kid but I remember walls and walls Of guns! |

Well, if anyone has a line on a chrome XM16E1 BCG, please let me know. I would appreciate it.  Brovet was trying to sell his second one for a month and nobody wanted it at $200.00. I cannot blame them. That is a bit steep IMHO. |

I see them sell complete for $350.00-$400.00 when they pop up on GB, and that's few and far between. |

I grew up in Lawton/Fort Sill and have worked on Fort Sill for the past 30 years and I don't remember the museum having "walls and walls" of guns. They have a geck of a lot of artillery pieces, but I don't recall many small arms. |
