Harrington & Richardson has just launched its reproduction of the Model 606 squad automatic weapon.
Harrington & Richardson keeps churning out cool reproductions of classic retro AR-15 models, and the latest is the Model 606. Based on the Colt Model 606 Heavy Assault Rifle, H&R’s version is naturally semi-automatic, but it has all the cool features of the original that would make it a great host for a forced reset trigger.
At its core, the H&R Model 606 is a 20-inch AR-15 in 5.56 NATO with early M16-style furniture. The features that make it more useful for sustained fire include its heavy HBAR-profile barrel and its M2 M14-style bipod that’s been pinned in place. Its upper receiver is M16-pattern with a fixed carry handle and no forward assist, and it has an M16-marked partial fence lower receiver. Other details include its old-school 3-prong flash hider, its 1:7 twist barrel (a good practical update over the original’s 1:12 twist rate), its chrome-lined barrel and its chromed BCG. Despite the heavier barrel and pinned bipod, the package still comes in at a relatively scant 9 pounds.
The Harrington & Richardson Model 606 is available with either a black or grey finish and has an MSRP of $1,250.
