Any 607's?

I am working on a 607 (and a 609) right now for my personal collection. Unfortunately, I won't be able to complete them any time soon, since I'll be on hold for the SBR Form 1 for many months.

Have you consdered doing any C7/8 clones

[Cold/Bore]

Have you been getting any upper receivers from nodak lately? I want a retro slickside upper for a super kiss dissipator build, but they haven't offered anything on their website in a while. From what I hear, they can get Anchor Harvey to produce their forgings for them as they are too busy producing flattop uppers forgings ever since the big panic buying started.

I do have an early C7 replica. Photos are below (since the photos, I've installed the correct sling)

The NoDak receivers are still being made, but there is a considerable wait time. I have to get on their back order list just like anyone else.

Thank you very much. The top charging handle uppers are made by a company called NoDak Spud. They are very nice parts as is, but I do make some minor modifications so they better match the "slab side" lowers.

I hate photo bucket! I can not see any if your work. As a kid one if my favorite toys wat a spring loaded top changing M16 it made a wicked racket when you pulled the he trigger. I think it even sparked!
