Pre-1898 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I am almost done with my modifications. All I have to do now is treading the muzzle to accept the birdcage flash hider, and install the front sight kit with the front sling swivel.I really wanted to give it a '' AR '' look, and I am quite happy with the results.This is it before:and now
Michigan Joe Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 OK, that really looks cool. Where did you get each of the parts?
Pre-1898 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 OK, that really looks cool. Where did you get each of the parts? The receiver top rail is a hand modified one. I hand worked it to fit over the front yoke and added a black Zytel spacer at the back to fill the gap where the receiver drops. the rest are all AR 15 parts. The bull barrel was reduced in diameter to fit the front sight base, and I am waiting for my newly purchased 1/2X28 die to make the muzzle tread. An AR15 birdcage flash hider will be installed.
Michigan Joe Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 When you reduced the diameter of the barrel, did you machine it down, or install a new barrel? I wondered how you worked with the barrel. The hand guard looks really nice too.

Michigan Joe Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 You are definitely out of control. Way to go!
Pre-1898 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 I now have more plans for it ! I Just bought a front grip mag holder (like the one in the picture) and I am planning to make a Magazine housing with it. If my plans work, I will make a complete AR look alike magazine housing and attach an AR look alike trigger guard to it. Then will fit it to the actual magazine well and use a airsoft AR magazine body to modifiy the magazine. Might work ,might not! Will find out if this can work as soon I receive all the parts !:D
asmurff Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Very cool, hope you didn'y have to go on the baloney and beans diet afterwards.
Pre-1898 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Posted June 2, 2011 Very cool, hope you didn'y have to go on the baloney and beans diet afterwards.Actually did most of the work myself except turning the barrel on the lathe ( about $30 at the machine shop) parts were not too bad either as I got some on eBay and some good prices from folks on gun forums.
imschur Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 it's funny to see the different ways this gun affliction affects us all.
Pre-1898 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Posted June 27, 2011 Did some more modifications to it ! This is what it look like now. stil have few more things to do and it done !I have presently a Hogue grip, a AR style magazine housing and a XM177 style slip over flash hider to put on it but they are still in transit !
George Wood Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 That is one fine looking firearm! :thumb:
