Some more pictures. I found a different pic to bi-pod adapter, which is longer and seems to work better for this set-up.
I shot 40 rounds, sighting in the rifle and getting a feel for it. I then shot 5 Gold Medal 168gr. at the end of the day. I'm still getting used to this trigger. Clearly I'm am pulling some shots down. The first three shots were the three that are together, and then I buggered it up a bit. Still. This is 45 rounds on the first day. This is getting it sighted in and then some.

There is more than often guns/parts listed in the EE for more than retail. Apparently ownership and use increases value. HA.
ENd of rant.
Beautiful piece here, but as stated before a little overkill for a double locked toy. Maybe I need a better job as well.
Yah, GermanGunWorks is a pretty interesting site. He ships to Canada, U.S., Australia and a few others (some things at least, some stuff is export restricted/EU only... just like all gun parts websites everywhere in the world, including Canada... we all have the same stuff and disallow the direct-to-consumer sale of it to each other!). The prices drop by 19% when shipping out of the EU as well. That is a good thing, since... some of the prices are pretty astronomical. The full G28 scope set up (slightly different S&B 3-20x50, Aimpoint Micro T-1, ERA-TAC mount, killflash and scope caps) is EURO 5,094.95, that is CAN$7,512.46, minus 19% is $6,085.09.
He has some other stuff that looks cool though. I might order some stuff at some point. I have the tan foregrip and 3-piece rail set on order with Tactical Imports still.
His G28 build he shows there is pretty interesting. The actual G28 has a steel upper receiver, not aluminum like the MR308 (and just about every AR rifle ever built). Why the army would want that, I have no idea. It is completely backwards of the whole point of Eugene Stoner's design and the idea of a barrel extension. However, I guess they got burned really bad by plastic receiver parts with shifting zero over there, so they are back to over engineering the hell out of everything in the traditional German way.
My understanding is that the G28 (steel) upper receivers are not available to the public. I think he may have just painted an MR308 receiver to that "baby puke" yellow to get it to look like a G28 receiver - or it is a dealer sample type thing. A G28 receiver (like a G22 receiver vis-a-vis an AWM receiver) will be marked "G28" right on it.
He has that long FAL-style flash hider on his website, but it is export restricted (as are all flash hiders on his website). A company in the U.S. makes a reproduction on that flash hider, for U.S. people building G28-style rifles down there (and they have a much longer road than Canadians do). I am probably going to stick with the flash hider that was factory installed on my rifle. I like the look of both though.
The rifle in your photo is just showing the top piece in the 3-piece rail cover set. I have this on order, as well as the foregrip.
GermanGunWorks has the G28 sling, and the extra mag pouch, available. A guy would probably have to order that from Europe to get it. The sling is EURO 144.95. The mag pouch is 56.90. So EURO 201.85, CAN$297.64, minus 19% =$241.09
Probably, overall, I want to just go with a "G28 style" rifle, but with a dark receiver, black scope and mount, and just a few other hints of the G28 design. I'm almost there!

Perfect. That pretty much answers the questions I was about to ask if we can get that kit with the ERA mounts and the 3-20x50 and the micro. I wonder if those top rails can be replaced with the era scope level bubble and the ACI. Thanks.

Top notch collection thanks for sharing
You mentioned wanting to get the bipod closer to the rail.
http://www.larue.com/harris-bipod-brm-s-and-lt706-qd-swivel-mount-combo
Larue offers a harris bipod with their own mount on it.
I could have sworn someone else made a whole pivot piece with picatinny adapter that you can buy seperate but I can't find it.

The AI is a 2008 AW in .308WIN, folding stock, quick-adjust butt and cheek piece, dovetail receiver, 26" barrel, tactical (threaded) muzzlebreak, front and rear (folding) iron sights, hand stop with sling loop, Parker-Hale bi-pod, 45MOA one piece mount, Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25x56.
The HK is a 2015 MR308A3, 16.5" barrel, G28 kit, which includes the long railed handguard, adjustable/fine adjustable stock, adjustable cheek piece, flip-up iron sights, birdcage flash hider, Harris bi-pod, 25MOA AI one piece mount, Schmidt & Bender PMII 4-16x50.
These are some groups at 100m from last weekend with the MR308 using 168gr. Gold Medal Match. I still seem to have a tendency to pull to the right a bit, but it can shoot. Before I had this rifle, I thought it would be far behind a bolt gun, but it is much closer than I would have imagined.
A few more targets: This two 5-round group target with the Steel Match looks strangely like the above GMM group. Must be something peculiar to my shooting. Anyway, it is not as easy to hit your own bullet holes with a semi-auto rig like this, as compared to a full-on bolt gun, but I have been consistently getting these kinds of results. I should probably click it up one, and one to the left I think!!
