Whootsinator,

Thank you.

Stickman,

I love that photo of the M-16 and flak jacket. I also admit to having a couple of dozen Colt 20-round mags around the house. So darn handy to drop into a pocket.

That's old school cool, with the flack jacket. Thanks for posting it!

Me in Germany with my M16A1, 1985.

And one of the many photos of the type that inspired me to go into Army Aviation.

Not the best pictures in the world but here's some of my 601 and late 603 rifles. Still working on an early 603 and 604 build but it's just a matter of saving my pennies for a couple of Nodak Spud XM16E1 lowers.


NOT the way a 601 retro should look. Since that picture, I got rid of that nasty A2 lower and it's now wearing a NDS 601 lower


There we go, that's a bit better!


My old MCRD rifle rag with all the parts of my 601 laid out. Yes, I know the buffer isn't an Edgewater but it's dang hard to spend that kind of money on one. Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll find one for a good price.


My late 603 again with a Nodak Spud A1 lower


A closer view if the right side of the receiver


A little more detailed view of the left side. I love how NDS doesn't fill the magazine well with snakes, spiders, bat wings freakin' unicorns or some other cartoon crap others do.


A quick snapshot of AR progression through the years. I'll have to update that a bit when my XM16E1 and USAF M16 clones are completed.

Nice collection!
