just use an adjustable bolt and call it a day, or spend the cash on a flow through supressor.

Gross.

Ordered Dutch M4 handles to reproduce a 601 M7 bayonet. After some cutting and filing last few days, they're close to fitting a Colt M7 but one hole in the shank of the M7 will need redrilling for the handles to line up. After that I'll need to sculpt both ends of the handles with JB Weld to make up the difference in length. Photos coming maybe later Saturday.


The Double Star lock ring for the other build has not been ordered yet since I can't convince myself to pay their $11.25 shipping.

The Dutch M4 shank is shorter in comparison to the M7 as noted in the photos. The M4 handles needed to be routed out manually to fit - my Dremel battery won't charge anymore but got the handles to fit anyway. Both ends will need sculpting with additional JB Weld and the shaft will need one of the holes redrilled. If it all looks good - then green paint.
