Update: 11/25/07 Got the Model 603 finished. See bottom of page

Colt Model 629 XM177E2

Well it's finally finished. My flash hider came in today (which I stripped and blued) and I cut the barrel down as close to 11.5" I could working from an M4 barrel. Recut the threads...
Everything else is pretty darn close. Only real differences are the A2 style lower receiver, the barrel diameter, the PTW being a heavier barrel, and the stock. I do have an Aluminum one on but the original is Vinyl Acetate (record plastic) covered Aluminum. Only ever seen one used for sale, lasted about 5 mins and went for over $300!! and that was in the US.
Have the bolt veneer mod in. Stripped the barrel and blued it... I put the Delta ring back in for accuracy as it was the older 609 with the 10" barrel that had the flat slip ring.

I now have 12 mags converted to VN style. I will likely do 3-6 more...

But for now it's done.

-Systema PTW gen 3. with upgraded 490B motor for 11.1V Lipo battery
-6.04 steel M4 barrel set cut to 11.5" and rethreaded
-RS front sight (bayonet lug cut off)
-RS gas tube
-RS hand guards/ delta ring/ barrel nut
-RS Colt A1 upper receiver modified to work with PTW
-RS A1 grip modified for PTW motor
-RS Aluminum Stock and tube modified for 11.1V Lipo battery
-Vietnam Era Sling
-Guarder flash hider
-Modified Marui bolt veneer to cover PTW cylinder
-RS Colt and others mags modified for PTW.

There's alot of work here but I am very happy with the results.

Real Model 629:

And mine:

Next project:

Model 603 XM16E1

Handguards and stock just arrived today. Just waiting to get the full length barrel. Basically I'll just change the barrel and stock on the 629....
