My objective with my Make would be to A) Use a historic gun with good roll marks, B) Not commit "Colt Funds" on the undertaking.
I say this for a collector and every little thing I would like/acquire finally ends up Significantly more challenging to acquire and much more expensive soon after they don't seem to be formally obtainable any more. Residence based FFL's have been culled out in the 90's, who knows what's going to transpire.
Quoted: One particular main factor he emphasizes is that it is not an actual Colt that's correct. Colt did not manufacture the Reissue nor are there many Colt areas. Most all the things on these rifles ended up sourced from other firms. The one true factor that's Colt is definitely the identify on it and that is it.
It is really evident (choose your brand name) are reproductions vs originals, the query is how accurate/close do you what and at what selling price?
I believe this has been accomplished, Even though the gap was purposely drilled from spec to prevent any sort of insinuation by JBT kinds.
Quoted: He does appear to be unduly tricky on the colt compared to the brownells. The brownells is really a fantastic rifle, but I wouldn't connect with it "equally as precise" because the colt repro. The colt has much more compact facts right (as some below have pointed out), and a better color match.
Off the top of my head, I believe they start during the 6XX,XXX array to the earliest, but definitely via the seven hundred,000s you start seeing A1 marked lowers.
M&S stamping on correct aspect amongst legs on the entrance sight foundation. This might be the commonest 601 barrel marking:
Never stick to selling prices. Updates include things like black furnishings, and T charging handles. Colt in all probability has staplers or carpet stains within their creating which were there considerably more time than RRA has long been in business. new-arguy, 2005

Posted: 1/28/2019 2:04:34 PM EST [#six] I manufactured a number of feedback above on youtube, but I'll put a number of right here as well: I have the identical rifle (my serial quantity is about two hundred greater) and I'm able to assure you which the slip ring and bring about guard on mine are grey plus a strong match into the upper/reduced receiver, I'm also really content with the reduced roll marks on mine. They are properly carried out and appear like the remainder of my colts rifles. One more issue that I wish to make which the Colt is utilizing an genuine A1 reduced NOT a "doctored up" re-machined A2 (like the Brownells and Other individuals).
I've compiled a list of all 601s I have personally observed either in individual or have noticed pics of, in any other case this means that they're however alive and kicking... I feel I'll build a “601s in the wild” thread with photographs of All those rifles.
I've a new toy. It can be an uncut all primary XM-16E1. Serial selection a hundred and fifteen,595. It is in M16A1 configuration and seems to generally be unaltered and all original. The gun contains a chrome bolt website but no chrome bore as could well be anticipated.
Posted: 1/16/2010 1:08:fifteen PM EST [Past Edit: limeytwo] [#7] Just purchased an transferable M16A2 burst roll stamped rifle, dark gray, sn#8006xxx everything is regular A2, except the reduce receiver is in A1 configuration forging, This can be an un-molested unique rifle NIB or ANIB. Was it frequent for Colt to roll stamp a non reinforced reduced with M16A2, I have found previously serial numbered 8 mil collection rifles with standard reinforced A2 receivers and black complete, so have been guns made outside of serial quantity purchase, as my gun is sort of late from the transferable pre could 86 assortment with the A1 design and style decrease and gray shade, nonetheless earlier ones have been black with A2 model lowers Was Colt seriously that unconcerned with what receiver forging they utilized and does the non reinforced (but nonetheless M16A2 marked) lessen alter the rifles price appreciably.
