I'm still waiting for the parts to come back from the painter.

You've inspired me - I'm currently working on a Hunter-to-Galil conversion. Question: where did you source the front and rear retainers for the forward handguard on your Galil conversion, the dust cover with rear sight, and the front sight assembly? I'm considering an R5 front sight from South Africa, which should fit, but I haven't found a rear sight assembly yet.

Good god that thing is a work of art. Good job fireball! I wish I had the time to build one of those. Maybe in winter. Need pics and vids of it in action!

[mikethebike]

Wow, I'm seriously impressed. I can't even dream of doing something like that, no talent or patience.

no talent or patience.

Hey, that's what it said about me on my high school yearbook!

 

[incorrigible]

nice! It takes a set of stones to start chipping away at a rifle worth thousands to get what you envision. Well done...

 

[Uberfiend]

Gorgeous.

 

[JoeOnePack]
