This one has been on the want list for a long time, stoked to finally have it. Still need the hard case to complete the deployment kit, once i get it I'll throw up some more photos

Anyone know where to find a long action McCann MIRS rail anymore? Obviously way out of production, but I'm working on a Mk13 Mod 0 build and for the most part, the rest of the parts seem attainable, but that rail is going to be tough to find anywhere... Anyone selling one? hah |

Anyone selling one? hah https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1160365619 BG Defense makes a repro. It’s OOS right now but might be a good filler until you find the real deal. Otherwise Snipers Hide is a good place to find old bolt gun parts. I found my MARS rail there. |

Pre War or Post War. They only had a standard. They would modify the action to short or too long. If you intend to build a 300HH match rifle like they did (Appropriate for that stock as is also 30-06) that takes extensive receiver modifications. For "short action", less so. I have had a 300HH and I currently own a 257 Roberts. |

| Hey guys, well i got the itch to try my hand at building a bolt gun. I’m doing my best to try and read over this forum to get some more information on this project. Not really sure where to start hunting for parts outside of EE so if any of you could give me some tips to where and look and really any helpful info in general would be killer. Thank you |
