Energa grenade launching accs
At the time of 601 developement these accs were developed to allow use of the Belgian "Energa" rifle grenade. They consisted of the grenade, 75mm, the clip on sight leaf, the grenade stabilizer ring, a small spring clip that mounted behind the compensator lock washer & a rifle grenade cartridge (not shown).

"shoot through" muzzle cover
These plastic muzzle covers protect the bore from mud, water, debris etc & fit over the muzzle devices of most M16 variants, the original 601 "duckbill", the improved "3 prong", the A1 "birdcage" & the A2 "improved birdcage".

Muzzle cover rear view
These covers come in black & red coloring, they are NOT to be left on the rifles during storage as they can cause corrosion in the bore but are a field item for protection, they can be left on & the rifle fired, this ruins the cover of course.
