Picked up a Draco to SBR.Plans are for an Ace sidefolder, TWS dogleg dustcover,and a Battle Comp.Was going to go with a railed fore end but the wood looks very nice so I'll probably keep it.Had to get the mags right away,I lived through the 94 AWB  .
Wicked little bit of kit that I'm sure will be quite an effective little carbine when it's done BUT............. NFA paperwork takes time,i'm hearing about 5 months currently.I need something now.Especially since my Noveske is currently at Flamethrowers place getting a Samson Evolution rail put on and then it's done.Found the solution in a Century C93.Inexpensive gem in the rough that just needs alittle love.Everything appears straight,welds looked good,bolt gap was in spec.Best of all,with the $300 I had pretty much written off that I got back from Botach and the $50 gift card I got from Fleet Farm for spending over $300 I could justify it to myself as a $100 purchase.Its getting slim handguards,paddle release,and a cool new aluminum lower housing from Fleming that accepts AR pistol grips.OH,and I need to buy mags.

| Mags are VERY expensive.Cheapest ive found are the plastic MKE mags at 30 apiece.RDTS and Bill Springfield at Triggerwork.net were both recommended highly.I'll likely have RDTS do the flapper and send the trigger pack to Bill for some luvin.First things first though,I need to get out to the range and burn through a couple hundred rds and recheck the bolt gap.Wish I were older and had stocked up on real HK's,Galils,and Valmets in the 80's.Or not shot so much in the 90's and stocked up on ammo and dirt cheap Fal and M14 kits.Or AK kits in the 2000's.Or....... well you know,hindsight is 20/20. |
