The only two known versions of the Model 605 prototypes used a modified lower receiver assembly that appears to use an early M16 Model 603 type forging without the "fence" surrounding the magazine release button. The modified lower receiver incorporated a four-position selector switch (developed by Foster Sturtevant in December 1966) so that a ...
The AR-10B prototype was composed of individual sub-components tested on a special lower receiver made of two slabs of aluminum fitted to a Knight's Armament Company SR-25 upper receiver assembly, [citation needed] and prototyped using computer analysis. The full prototype AR-10B was the first rifle off the production line.
