Was there ever a Colt CAR-15 open bolt design?

All nice replicas!! I've toured Reed's collection and it is quite impressive. In fact, the last time I visited I was in the company of General Kalashnikov, who remarked that he was also very impressed with Reed's collection, but puzzled by the lack of AK variants. Reed has no Ak variants in the lot!!

The M607 should have a 10" barrel and the first issue sound moderator with no flash hider, but pretty close!

This is a great site for parts, accessories and resources for these early replicas;

TexSquirrel's site is OK, but ARFCOM/Retro has it beat, hands down...(I wish more people would frequent TexSquirrel's site; but ARFCOM is just too well established)...

(TexSquirrel rescued the RetroBlackRifle site, if you hadn't heard)...

All my faux protos exhibit 'artistic license', to suit my taste...

The XM607 fake has a 16" barrel; the 'moderator' is a 1" round steel bar drilled & tapped 1/2" x 28tpi...It does nothing...(The barrel screws into the 'moderator' for its full length)...

I'm currently modifying 'bubba-ized' Enfield No 4 and No 1 rifles into faux 'Jungle Carbines'...Just because I can...

Taste is great! This modification did make Lee Enfield's appearance much fancier!

Curious, any special reason for that muzzle device?? Usually only see that on machine guns... to reduce muzzle flash ??
