AR Family / Re: My USAF M16 604 Clone

Thank you, it was fun doing the 604 build. It was/is my one and only build I've done.

Still looking for a gunsmith to change out the hammer and trigger on the S&W. If it can be screwed up, I'll screw it up, if it can't I'll invent a way to screw it up. Or at least that is what my dad use to say about me.

Just haunting the local gunshops for a Beretta M9 Commercial to finish my service weapons itch. While still hunting for my next milsurp to add to the hoard.

They came in today (it's nice to NOT have them shipped to FFL anymore :) ). Not lottery winners but nice pieces of history. I'm happy with them. Pics to follow when I have time for a proper photo session.

I think the mod0's are a great deal. Highly original, rare variation, almost guaranteed to be 'as is' from the Navy depot and not put together by the CMP at $900 shipped? Buy if you can! (says the enabler)

Wow, they both sound like good to very good prices in today’s market!

Agreed on the whining. There are also a lot of them who don’t understand the CMP mission and that it takes dollars to run their operation. Admittedly, I liked the way Orest ran the CMP better but it’s still a very good operation with an important mission..

Regular CMP mail order, I'm guessing Navy just transferred all their supplies in Crane to the CMP. Mod 0 - $900, Mod 1 $1650. I'd say Mod 0 is a deal. Many come close to 'correct', plenty of lockbar sights seen.

Most of what Ive seen people got were really nice examples. Whining about CMP mail orders is all too common :) It's human nature, someone got something sold but then they see someone got a nice mostly original Winchester with lockbars, uncut op rod and beautiful properly cartouched stock and the  cry2 cry2 begins.

I wasn’t aware until I saw someone complaining bitterly about the price on a FB milsurp group.  I didn’t look into it further (not due to the complaint). I’m guessing it’s a lottery situation like with the M1911A1s? Price?

Good luck! Hope you show it here if you get one.

mk 2 mods 0 and 1 Garands are creating quite a stir on the CMP forum. I placed an order too and hopefully will be getting them too. Will post pics when they are in hand. Anyone here ordered them?

Great looking long barrel. I think you should take some photos so we can evaluate it better, however.  rofl2 rofl2

Thanks Bob - I'll try to do better next time! :) And thanks to everyone for the comments!

Of course, I kid you about the photos. I actually appreciate a photo spread like that, very nice.
