Photo 23 of 68, Colt Model 603 (XM16E1, M16A1 Army)

Early features, dimpled pins, selector lever, interim bolt release which were soon replaced w/the later styles seen on the M16A1 in this album. There appears to be no firm cutoff date for most of these differences but they can be found even late into XM16E1 production in conjuction w/later parts! Note also the lower receiver which is mfg by NoDakSpud, it is a replica of the "partial fence" lower & is a beautiful piece of work, they also mfg replica's of the 601/M16, M16A1 "full fence", early experimental upper w/charging handle under the handle & the M16A2! A true replica retro M16 would be very difficult w/o NoDak, my thanks go out to them!
