That would be a good one to own. It is good to see that they did go the distance and open up the gas port as needed. They really should be using a slickside upper receiver. Hopefully, that is something they will change. I built mine a few years back. John Thomas of Retro Arms Works did the work on the barrel assembly.

I just sent Brownells a message about correcting the upper receiver on the new BRN-605. I guess I will see what they say.

I find it odd they are using a FA upper receiver when they already offer a slickside upper, both with their 601 clone and sold separately.
I'm hoping they sell the barrel assembly separately because I've already got a spare Fulton slickside kicking around.
I disagree with Brownells' assertion that the 605 is "dorky" looking. I've always loved it's snub-nosed aesthetic.
a 605B would have been awesome. Although I still wish they would make some type A and type E stocks so i could finish a couple of my project.

Yeah, it says 605s either had slickside uppers or ones with the FA milled off. The A and B designations referred to the type of FCG they had, not the upper receiver.
Where Brownells already offers a slickside upper I find it puzzling they wouldn't use that in their 605 clone vs the A1 style upper with a FA they opted to go with instead.
