Been seeing some Retro pics and decided to grab a kit before they are gone.
Nodak M16A1 retro lower with all the markings from Ident Markings.Got tired of looking for a barrel and reprofiled a Colt '97 A2 1/7 .Got barrel parked and FSB mounted over the rainy weekend and assembled the bits.
i am working on a very old "colt" slab-side upper build. mine is not going to be as pretty or period accurate as yours.
i am raiding all my parts bins. it will have a DTI 1-9" twist 20" pencil barrel and vintage stocks , three prong FH , de-milled colt fire control group,--
i just realised somethng-- i am going to have to do SOMETHING with those a1 style rear sights!
LOL those little peep-holes didn't look so small decades ago---LOL
Nice. Except for the cleaning kit, which they never gave us.
Looks period accurate, even down too the 20 round mags.
Oh. No bayos. We sent those too the Marines. :lol:

Dang,How about the sunscreen...er...a Sunburn Preventative Preparation (cream paste) and Insect Repellent ,75% DEET in 25% Denatured Ethanol ?
Date on bottle says Dec 1966,I just looked at some Deep Woods Off and it was just the opposite 25% DEET and 75% "other ingredients".
Hitest Bug Juice ! Don't call the EPA on me!
Hey 4th,
We used to mix the bug juice with the army peanut butter in the tin. The mix could be ignited to make a really hot little fire for heating C-rats, coffee, etc. That was important during the wet monsoon when little else would burn (other than C-4 that is).
Sorry too get off topic pugwag.
Cleaning the leaches off at night. Got low in the hole.
Hit my legs with the juice. Lit a match too see if I got em all.
Oh yes sir Viper Dude that stuff burns.
Both my legs went up in friggen flames like a human torch.
I lit up the whole damn perimeter running.
The guys laughed, laughed. Dirty S.O.B.s
looks very nice, i'm slowly collecting parts to make a poor mans 607 clone (cutting down the stock and hg's myself)
