Just joined your ranks and thought I would share some pics and disclose a few neat things I discovered.
Here is the entire gun:
Discovered that this gun uses the same size tube as a AR15. I had a Magpul Commercial version w/ cheekrest available so I put it on. Be sure to get the Commercial version because the Mil-Spec version is a different size. Here is a picture:
You can take the rails off if you want as shown here:
I am still debating on whether or not I am getting a bipod. If I do I will put the bottom rail back on.
As you know these guns have a long action and this prevents using a longer scope. I went with a Trijicon TA31-DOC that was on my Sig 556.
The toughest project per say was figuring out which mount to use on this gun. After a bunch of research and not wanting to risk cheaper solutions I went with the
B&T HK G3/91 CETME Low Mount. This is expensive but very high quality and it looks very good on the gun. FYI the iron sights do not interfere with the scope vision. I even tested a Meopta R1 and there was no obstruction. Here is a picture of the scope on the B&T:
I read many posts where you guys praised the build quality of JLD and I must say the machine work is top notch.
Well hopefully tomorrow I get to shoot it for the first time and dial in the scope. Then I will see how well it likes South African Ammo.
