This is because that 18.5 inches measured from breech face to muzzle crown is the minimum length before the rifle becomes restricted. Having 18.75 builds in a little "fudge factor" to keep on the right side of the classification.

You beautiful bastard! Sorry... Our Irish breakfast may have had alcohol with it.

Thank John for the update much appreciated!

Oh man I can't wait. Perfect timing too. My wife is no longer visibly annoyed from my last m14 parts purchase.

I'm also interested in a Nimrod scope mount or rings.

My source has advised me that no Nimrod scopes or mounts are available, not sure what went wrong there.

Thanks for inquiring John. Finding rings that fit that scope will be fun. I have the scope now I have to figure out how to mount it. The feedback on the IDF scope mount wasn't the greatest either.

I used 1 in. Leupold rings and I lapped the lower half to open them up a bit. The rings have a bit more space between the halves then with a 1 in. scope

Thanks for your reply John.
Love to find a matching scope and mount to complete the project but guess have to try my luck again.

I'm using a B Square #18514. The top half of the rings I oiled them to slip over the tube. Once over they move freely. You can then wipe off the oil.

Wolverine,
I see you post about Criterion/LRB providing 18.75" barrels for the Canadian market... Is it possible to get one that is short-chambered? Would you advice against ordering an 18.5" barrel?

We only act as an agent for LRB, please feel free to contact them directly with any questions. My understanding is they will not ship 18.5 inch only 18.75 inch barrels just to be on the safe side and insure non-restricted status.
Thanks for the heads up Shawn. After seeing your post seconds after you posted it, then thinking it over for the last few hours, and despite my (hopefully pending) back order request, I just placed an order with a comment to make sure I get what I originally wanted last time. I'm not taking any chances this time!
Here are direct links to the parts kits for anyone else interested in grabbing these before someone from Wolverine Supplies announces them:
Light barreled kit:
https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail/SUPM14PARTSKITL
146 light kits left currently.
Heavy barreled kit:
https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail/SUPM14PARTSKITH
No heavy kits left currently.
Interesting how that was handled without any announcement this time; all of the heavy barreled kits which were listed are now gone as of my order having been processed.
