I think you ought to. Either that or a TSI 607 mod. That'd look awesome. I'm jealous!! Especially of the RDIAS and 50 round mag You find all the good stuff on egay!!! |

Villa,
Gotta agree with Blanco_Pup on this one, the negative 1.5" & duckbill would be classic. SR |

Those are some awesome little carbines How did the "conversions" go? Are they for the 607s? |

|
Hey uxb, are those 607 stocks from Total Silence?

Not with that little hole above the selector!! Nice!! And is that a real 653 upper? |

|
@carbinekid
Nice 653. Is that a converted SP1? I can't see the front pin very well. |

Yup, its a converted SP1, the 16" barrel has been cut down to 14.5". |

@45Bravo
Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I would like to be. I can fly higher than an eagle, you are the wind beneath my wings[/music] You, sir, have impeccable taste. uxb is still my co-hero though. You get the points for making a .22LR XM607, uxb still gets the overall shorty points, and the OEG points. I finally got a slabside 20" AR upper (SP1) from the Capt, now have to go buy an OEG for it. OpticZone has new ones for $140, might have to check them out. -MV |

I'd suggest getting a regular 3 or 4x carry handle scope for a 20" rifle. The OEG's are usually on carbines. But whatever floats your boat. Here's the 4x scope I'm talking about. You can find them for around $20-40. www.tapco.com/proddesc.aspx?id=35714c80-2414-46f0-95ac-f9b7c90bc8cd |

What'd ya do with the old stock body?
|
|
|
The photo that Jeremy2171 poster of his old butt stock shows that this stock has seen better days. Has anybody tried to see if having an old, beat up stock in this condition could be refurbished by having it powder coated? With the choice of powder coat finishes available I would think there should be a finish that comes pretty close to the original. How thick is the original coating on these old Colt stocks?

You need to switch out that flattop for an A1 receiver. Nice M16 though! |

Is there a hosting service from ARF? I am admittedly techno challenged with computers. I have a few I could share but don't know how or where to host them! That is indeed sad considering I have a website of my own...... In my defense I don't administer it, I leave that to someone else.

photobucket.com is what a lot of people use. Been using it myself for a while now, and never had any problems. |

IMO, www.imageshack.us is easier to use

Any more pics, guys? How bout some 653 clones? Or some XM177E1s?

Here's my GUU-5P project. Semi retro, anyway.
My theory on this is an early USAF lower with an ex Army 653 upper from the post Vietnam era. This justifies the forward assist and lack of a brass deflector. (in my mind anyway) -RRA lower receiver -RRA bolt, carrier, and charging handle -RRA lower parts kit -RRA CAR handguards -RRA buffer and spring -2 pos CAR stock from the EE -A1 grip from the EE -Colt C/H A1 upper from CDNN -YES, I NEED AN M4 BARREL http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/SigfanUSAF/Myguu1.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/SigfanUSAF/Myguu2.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/SigfanUSAF/Myguu3.jpg |

Scored a Wilson 14.5" M4 barrel from Del-Ton at the Charlotte gun show this morning. Got home, pinned and welded the Vortex, assembled the upper, and now the GUU-5P project is finished!
NO, I NO LONGER NEED AN M4 BARREL! http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/SigfanUSAF/Myguu4.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/SigfanUSAF/Myguu5.jpg |

I don't know that thing's looking pretty modern for the Retro Forum with that M4 barrel.

Hey, it' listed on retroblackrifle.com. At least I removed some of my mag fence to try to fit in |
||
|
So, Tom, where are some of your shorties? |
||
|
Bump for more pics!!
Got my XM upper back from being barreled. It looks AWESOME! I'm gonna snap some pics once I get a moderator on it. And also should have a 10" barrel for a future XM607 project on the way soon. |
