Sweetness. I was going to help a friend get that gas rail, but he can't afford it...it woulda been nice though. Yours looks great! Now you need that bottem rail and a red dot!

I like the old school look myself. Start getting all the after market black synthetic/plastic parts, may as well just get an AR. I'd have to agree with squirrel blaster in that it's just me also. lol

What did or are you going to do with the what looked to be beautiful wood furniture it had on it? Just curious is all...

I have not fired the rifle yet, the conversion is not complete.
I purchased the J-TAC47 Compensator from Blackjack Buffers
They are currently out of stock - I got the last one.

I will post additional pictures and a range report when I've finished putting it together.

Well, the pinky (and the other fingers) are understandable... You were bump-firing. It's neat how one can bump-fire from the shoulder (instead of the hip like most guys that just like to shoot fast) and still get some accuracy out of a rate of fire normally relegated to only full-auto firearms.

He Rex! I measured a pistol today, and it seems it takes the same size furniture as a rifle. That means Ultimak will fit! Hot Dang Bubba!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine a pistol with Ultimak Handguard and Gas Tube in aluminum. A swivel on the rear of the receiver, with a single point sling attached. And a laser mounted for quick acquisition. Throw in my Chinese 75 rd drum, and... Oh Man!!!!!!!!
