Its a parts gun. Barrel looks like an A2 - .75 barrel. Not a A1 .625 barrel. Upper looks like a 1970s A1. I will probably just keep looking for an A1 parts kit.. Buy it cheap, get a pencil prifile barrel Sell of the existing barrel and get on the waiting list for aNodack NDs-601 or NDS-XM16E1 retro lower and it will look the part of a faux 604 |

He sure beat the shit out of the lower receiver trigger guard tab on the left side. There is some good stuff there, but as already mentioned the barrel is wrong. The upper is a Colt 604, not an SP1. The carrier is correct with the notches for the 604 with no forward assist. Too much not right to even consider for $600. I would advise you pass on it. |

10mm, you probably didn't consider this since you live in a semi-free state (NC) - but that lower alone might be worth more than $600.
Do some research. It might - just maybe - be a coveted "pre ban" lower. I'm not 100% up on all the tyranny passed in communist regimes like my former home states of NY, MD, or CA (yes, I suffered under the persecution of all 3 regimes). But maybe someone in one of those states can chime in? PS: thank you for NOT displaying your bare toes in photo #5. Well done sir! |

Possible it's a pre-1994: I checked their website:
"Since its opening in the early nineties, TNW Firearms Inc., has been a leader in the manufacture and development of historical weaponry and accessories. We pride ourselves on preserving firearms history for collectors, museums and movie companies. Our company relocated to Vernonia, Oregon in 1994, where we were able to grow with onsite R&D, testing, and production. TNW conducts much of its business and manufacturing locally and partners with a large network of companies in the greater Portland area. From its first product, the Semi auto Browning 1919, TNW Firearms has grown to provide an array of products expanding into the shooting sports and national defense markets. In 2012 TNW introduced the new Aero Survival Rifle; this original designed firearm incorporated technology and features that had never been used in the carbine rifle market. Working forward from that platform, TNW is currently in development of some exciting new products that will cater to the next generation of sports shooter." |

Quoted: Magwell is chewed all to hell. And why is there tape on it? ETA: Magwell pic appears to simply have something else in the image-- other pics show magwell on ejection port side to be ok. I think the tape is cover up the serial number |

Quoted: He won't budge from $600, it's not worth that to me. Jumbled up mess is right, that's what it looked like to me but I don't know much about older stuff. Quoted: Quoted: Cobbled together parts gun. I'd go $400 on it just for parts. Jumbled up mess is right, that's what it looked like to me but I don't know much about older stuff.  |

Del-Ton also has lightweight barrels and barrel kits. http://www.del-ton.com/Del_Ton_Inc_Barrels_p/bl1028.htm For about $40 more, you get the whole kit, though. I built a lightweight A2 and used this: http://www.del-ton.com/Del_Ton_Barrel_Kit_p/kt1004.htm Would that be the profile barrel you're looking for? |

I don't really need anything authentic or with every little shape and detail. I just want a carry handle, 20" pencil barrel, and triangle handguards. |

Ok then at most, it's a $600 poor copy of a retro. |

I've been eyeing that barrel for when it comes back in stock. And honestly I don't even care about the lower, I'll just use an Anderson and put an A1 stock on it and be happy. Quoted:
