   It'll ship out Thursday morning, I won't have time to do it before then. May need a bit of break in but should run 100% after you put a couple of mags through it. Oil it up well before you fire for the first time and that will help. The rear sight is done in flat black, the rest in semi-gloss. These pictures are crap with poor lighting, the gun is actually alot darker than the pics make it look but without messing with the gamma you can't really see the details, like where the retainer claw latches on to the stock. Next I have to finish a Krinkov build, then on to a bunch of underfolders including your second build! |

None was specified and I think they are useless anyway. If he breaks it from shooting it one-handed with the stock folded, I'll fix it under warranty for free and add a reinforcement plate then. Frankly IMHO the reinforcement plates are mostly an excuse to sell people one more gizmo and hit them with an extra surcharge for installing it. I seriously doubt his pistol grip is just going to snap off while shooting because he didn't ask me to put the plate in there. |

I could'nt agree with you more, I dont see the point other than the standpoint of correctness. either way its a sharp rifle. I have one just like it, but i built it.

Oh, cool. I was hoping you would get it today. I see it showed up in one piece, that's always a good start. You like it so far? Want your underfolder done in the semi-gloss as well?

Finally took it out today. Fired 150rds: zero malfunctions. I was amazed at how little recoil this thing has, even less than my ARs. I didnt shoot at paper, just a 12" steel plate and bowling pins, which I was hitting with ease at about 75yds.
The aresnal "10" mags fit fine, but the "21"'s are a little hard to get seated, although once there in they fed without issue. Overall VERY plaesed with it. Thanks again!

Thanks, I really do appreciate all of the effort you and the boy's have put into this project. This will be a one of a kind gem when it is finished. The safe-mates are awaiting the arrival of their new Queen. Thanks again, pas59 |

Mr. "Nukem,"
Can you install a triangle side-folder on a milled receiver? What about an underfolder? Bud |

You need to start with an MSL99 milled receiver from Firing Line in Oklahoma. They have sidefolder and underfolder variants with the trunions already part of the receiver. Expensive, but worth it. This is what pas59's build is based on. On a foreign made milled receiver, say a milled MAK90 or Polytech, I can't do it. I could mill out the holes but the stock still wouldn't fit because the dimensions are so different. |
