I-M-A-WMD,
They used the parts off the gun I sent back in as I marked most parts with minute punch marks, except for the internals. The internals were from my orignal rifle as they had my hone marks where I smoothed things up.
Bob,
I don't have the rifle with me right now as it is in storage at this time but as near as I can remember follows,
Front sight has the ears
The gas block is angled
The gas tube has holes
The receiver cover is smooth, not sure about a lip over the selector lever.
I hear that Hesse has changed it's name to Vulcan Arms now. They(Vulcan Arms) are marketing a couple of nice looking 50 BMG rifles now. They are nice looking but if it is the same company you couldn't get me to shoot one. They may be top notch and first rate but if they are made by the former Hesse Company I'll pass.
