Things are too slow.

So anyone have any builds planned that they want to talk about?

I'm sitting on a CMP grade B receiver, and a few of those USGI Korean era barrels. Will someday make an all-USGI shooter, once the storage situation improves. Nothing fancy but another M1 in the world.

Slowly but surely a Bula receiver ,Wolfe 5R barrel, in a Mcmillan M3A stock . I'm halfway there.


A 59' Enfield L1A1 build going that's almost complete just looking for a decent upper receiver
piecing together 2 AR's one for CQB , one a varmint rifle.

& a 1964' HD FLH that's been coming out of boxes this year , just got a complete Andrews gear set 4 it.
It ought to shift like a dream

ray. your technical. I don't even know what that stuff is, and your talking old time rifles. Ahh, some of that is cars, right?
Togor, you have a $125 receiver and probably a $125 barrel(I have one too). What is the storage problem? A Garand doesn't take up that much space. As we all should know, the parts are worth more(well, maybe not these days) than a complete rifle. But, building a rifle is kind of a fun thing. I built a FAL on my kitchen table using an Enterprise arms and parts combination. I felt like Edison. I did use the Wide World of Guns book's pictures. I had that one little oblong part left over. I finally figured out it was the go-fast thing that was not allowed in the modern receiver.

Always something in the oven. Recently did this Bula CBR in carbon fiber chassis. Shoots like a dream and easy on the back.
Waiting on 3 more USGI heeled M-14 receivers that James River is doing for me. All the parts for builds are just hanging around in the shop.
Plenty of M1 barrels and parts to do a few builds, but no receivers as of yet.

Garand receivers worth more than $125 I think. Anyhow, cabinets all full at the moment. Could squeeze some pistols in there but that's about it. Agree that the build is for the fun of it.

No cars, I've done that B4 it's just too damn much work @ this stage in my life ,
the 1st is a M14/M1A build I've been dreaming of & gathering parts for quite a while , I've finally started picking up the high dollar items

2nd is an "inch version" of the metric FN FAL , I just want a quality "inch" upper receiver to finish her up,
I've done a number of metric FAL's back in the 90's when you could still get unissued Austrian STG58 kits and Imbel receivers
however this is my 1st inch gun.

3rd up is 2 separate AR15's one for close quarter battle & one for varmint hunting

4th up the last but certainly not least a 1964' Harley- Davidson FLH Duo Glide "panhead" that should look like this when she's done

Sarco is selling *Starter* m-14 parts (NOT ALL OF THE PARTS) and an add-on kit, but you'll still need wood and fiddly bits. BULA or Futon Armory receivers.

Spoke to the Sarco guys at a gun show....The worker bees are good guy's, it the management that is screwed up....When the grade A parts sold out, the grade B parts became grade A....Then the grade C parts became the grade A parts....If you go to the store you can hand pick what you want...If it is not there, they check downstairs....It is best you call the warehouse in NJ order 3 for the store in Pa, and pick the best one in person.....regards....alex
