Heading out to my range this afternoon.
I think they might just work.

Great. Thanks for sharing. Some of those parts appear to be USGI but look new. Are they NOS or refinished? Are those barrels medium weight or heavy? I have a variety of stuff myself to build a M25 including an adjustable trigger and rear lugged receiver but can't seem to get off of my can to do it. Have you considered an E2 stock?

All parts except rear sights, muzzle device and front band are new production Bula Defense System. Rear site assemble is NOS M1, Muzzle breaks are LRB and front bands are NOS M14.
Barrels are 22" Bula med weight NM configuration.
Good luck with your M25 build.
Time to get off your can and get er done.

E2 stocks always make me think of a canoe paddle. Ever since firing an M14 in one in 1967 for familiarization. That was the joke at the time. McNamara was up the creek without a paddle so they E2s were used.

002 and 003 function fire only. Front and rear sights centered with 8 clicks of elevation. ZQI 20rnd mag dumps very rapid fire. 002 on left and 003 on right.
I did pay a little more attention to the sights after recoil on 003. At least they were all on paper at 100 without any hunting from the get go. I like Bula stuff.
