Very nice! I have an SA20, but I do find myself wishing it had the green furniture.

 

[Perron]

Thanks !

I never understood why we insist on CAR type stocks when every other type is more ergonomic and functional.

They work just fine and feel nice. Gucci kit is for soyboys who wax their moustaches.

I was thinking the smaller stock was for fem-types. Strange reply boomarang.

Now do you think perhaps you should bin that fold down back up iron sight and instead replace it with one of the garbage fixed iron sights that is designed to snuggle in with the front of the Elcan?

OP, nice work man, the rifle looks great!

We don't insist. Its just that the nerds at DLR who are responsible for determining our small arms requirements aren't typically the ones carrying the firearms operationally or firing shots in anger, and have never had to live with the garbage they buy.

Rather than file more Unsatisfactory Equipment Reports that no one will ever read or action, most soldiers just swap the parts they need as they see fit. Sure there are lots of better stocks out there, but the issued ones aren't terrible.

You are also missing the god awful ambidextrous charging handle. http://www.nordicmarksman.com/C7A2-C8A3-CF-Ambi-Charging-Handle.html

Can't believe $120 for a cocking handle...

Fun (disappointing) fact: The UCR Coord desk was often filled by a 2Lt on BTL/awaiting trg, who would pass the UCR file over to whichever item manager desk only if he knew where it was supposed to go. Otherwise, it sat in queue for action.

I'm sure they all got filtered through some crusty old WO who thought 75% of them were BS and quashed them before actually being reviewed.

 

[Deckard]

Truth to that. I'm dating myself to suggest individual mods would never have been allowed in the day.

 

[Perron]

Well!

What parts did you get at Retro Rifles?

 

[upnorth69]

Its the one that comes with the restricted sa20 rifle that i use

Yes, CC puts that plate on civilian and export rifles at the moment but NOT on the C7A2

That damn sling plate is by far the hardest part to source. I’ve only ever seen one in the wild. Never would have expected a sling plate of all things....

 

[Canada tail]

I like it. How does it shoot?
