So I made a 652 clone with that first EA lower I had cut to "A1" specs. But when I went to shoot it, the Bushy LW 16" didn't zero like I wanted. I had to crank the rear sight all the way to the left, and that gives me a case of the @ss. So I decided to switch upper receivers with another I had. But that one wouldn't close on the EA lower. The cut in the lower wasn't hollowed out enough to allow the new upper to close without trimming a bunch.  So I took all the lower parts off the EA and put them on NDS-16A1 #1. Color match was good, and the fit was sweet. I've always had a hard-on for the 652 ever since I first checked "Small Arms Of The World" out of my high school library. Sorry about the crappy lighting, I usually take pics outside.   NDS-16A1 lower Bushy LW 16" barrel w/handguard surplus 604 upper flat slip ring from Sherluk stock and grip from Sarco DPMS bolt/LPK Also, I run an A2 front post and rear sight aperature on my carbines, it works better with my eyes. |
Thats funny, I don't care who you are.  Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm going to shoot it this weekend and see if switching uppers helped. The darn thing zeroed fine when I had a GI 20" barrel on this upper. It's a good thing AR's are like legos.................. |
The one in the picture, and the one Mike built are both 652 clones. The 651 has a forward assist, but is otherwise the same. The Model 655 is the sniper rifle (heavy barrel) |
So it's a mistake in Small Arms of The World??? (I'm sure there are many)...  A pity...I've quoted SAOTW many times; now to find out it's inaccurate...It's like finding out there's no Santa Claus...  So...The 651 has the FA; the 652 does not...I'll have to mark that down...Thanks!!!

I know this isn't the place for "modern" AR's...but since Mike started the thread with the SAOTW connection, this is what that M651/2/5/whatever picture in my SAOTW started me off on...  DPMS 16 inch flattop HBAR w/BUIS F&R; 3-9x Tasco w/QD mount; spare A2 upper for brush work. IMHO, about as close to a perfect AR-15 as I can get...

Well, it's the Bushy barrel. She still shoots a little (6") to the right when the peep is centered. So the rear sight still has to be adjusted way left to get a zero. I can detect a little cant to the left on the FSB upon closer examination.Its a minor irritation because this barrel shoots 3 round cloverleafs all day at 50 yards w/iron sights.
