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!

I'm always hesitant to call this one a retro since for a 653 clone there are a few things wrong with it. The A2 lower is a glaring problem that should be corrected (and if I ever get around to making my M16A4 clone I will probably rob this receiver to do it with and replace the receiver my 653 has with another Nodak Spud lower instead. Next is one that I overlook and that's the barrel is a 16" lightweight Colt barrel. The fact that it's a 16" versus the 14.5" of the actual 653 is one I tend to overlook since I don't want to mess with the SBR routine. The last problem I have with it is that the upper is an A1 design but a quick glance at the ejection port cover quickly shows that this part is an A2 version which wouldn't be really correct here either. Nope, no doubt about it, that lower though really has to be swapped out though.
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!
