Also, that FALfiles page makes me hope someone swaps me an FAL soon. That and a PTR would make a pretty pair. Just trying to avoid too many irons in the fire right now, but sure love an FAL kit and receiver.

Ski, I might just go that route with PTR. Appreciate the help. -JA

Sure is pretty Mew. By the time you got the grip, PRS, mount, and ACOG you probably have a lot more spent, than the original rifle price, correct?

To follow up, HKPARTS.NET is too expensive for me. Wouldn't mind putting a wood handguard on there, so long as it's chubby. Just can't figure why a wide piece of plastic is 4-5X as expensive as a thin piece; it's not materials nor is it molding. Let me know if anyone reading this has an...

Already have a quote from Bill Springfield on a new lower and cocking handle. Just need a fat handguard and a way to mount an EOTech or ACOG. Thanks again, - BigAndy

Yeah, I think I will just call robertrtg.com for some answers. Not trying to spend a ton on rail and forearm though; still have to swing the optic, trigger job, and 7.62x51-food. Anyone reading this should feel free to add to this post; haven't seen a cool PTR build thread, ergo feel free to...

Picked up a NIB 16" 91 from CDNN. Looking to have a compact rifle in a big boy cartridge. It came with the narrow handguard, which definitely needs to go. Question 1: are any of the ones on this page (Stock, Green Plastic (w/ Backplate Assembly) Gun Parts | 808920 | Numrich Gun Parts) not...

I appreciate all of the insight from you guys. I believe the great thing about this forum is access to thousands of people, ranging from poor hobbyists like myself to long-time snipers and renowned smiths. It was my fault for not clearly explaining my background, goals, and equipment. I think...

Damn boys, I was just asking for a book recommendation. I did purchase a new sear, hammer, trigger, and spring set. Just looking to improve function on a budget build. I appreciate the heads-up about the legal aspect, but if it becomes necessary to defend myself or my family I think a...

No prior experience in pistolsmithing. I just liked the look of the chrome Commander-style, especially at its price. Trigger sucks, so I figured I would replace it. Got a little click - happy on Midway and sprang for sear, trigger, sights, etc. Primarily going to be a carry gun, so...

I have an American Classic Commander that I would like to rebuild. Pistol has maybe 250-300 round count. I bought all Wilson Combat and Les Baer internals. My questions are: 1) which book would be most beneficial for a first-time builder; 2) any tools that are necessities for installing the...

May be just me being weird but I like the butt hook for offhand placement, otherwise it is a pain for getting hung up on stuff. -JA

Who needs porn, when M1As look so good? -BigAndy

Thanks again for all of the help. I found a pair of Burris XTR lows in my junk drawer. If they are 30 mm I will give them a shot, and report the results. -BigAndy

I guess I am NOT set on the QD then. Thanks for the info Ord. K, you ought to post a few pictures of your rig. How does your objective lens size compare to the MR-10 (which I think is ~37 mm)? I also picked up a Bobro mount in the deal for the GDI. I guess I will flip that and pick up some...

Expert, I like the way this: G1-OSM Gen 3 M/14 M/1A optical sight mount looked really rigid. I kind of committed to the GDI mount already (I got a decent deal over on LongRangeHunting). I guess you're saying to go with a really low set of rings/ring system on top of the GDI then? By the way...

Stink, Already have a 24" LR-260 that is ~20 lbs. The EBR is going to have an 18.5" barrel, and hopefully be a few pounds lighter. I know that using a Sage in a 'lighter' build is just about oxymoronic, but I just really dig the look of the M1A in a Sage. That said, I don't want a top-notch...

Hey fellas, I am looking to do an EBR build. I have a forged Polytech receiver (I know; not my first choice either) and am acquiring a USO MR-10 1.8-10x37 scope from a fellow Hide member. I am also planning on a GDI G1-OSM mount. My question is which rings/ring system should I use? I talked...

Damn NoExpert, your tagline is exactly what I'm trying to get (minus the MagPul stock, of course). I reckon I will go with Tactical Supply; they have them for the same price as BoTach, hopefully minus the drama. Thanks again, -JA

Good info; thanks for the help Tom. -JA
