Choosing parts for T44E4s 11061 and 11062

[nf1e]

Enjoying the smells of Thanksgiving dinner cooking, I decided to start laying out parts for my next T44E4 builds. Dug out a couple of unitized, USMC method, gas cylinder assemblies. Selecting bolts as I go along. Couple of USGI op rods. I think I like this part almost as much as shooting the finished products.

One will have an 18.5 inch LRB medium weight barrel in .308.
Then other is going to be set up with a Bula Defense Systems medium weight 22" barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. This will be set up with NM sights front and rear just for the halibut.
Barrels are only hand tightened for the moment. Looking over my selection, I think these will do fine for this type of build.
Haven't decided on which stocks to use yet, but that part is down the road anyway.

Got some time today to work on Bula Defense Systems T44E4 11061. Dang this if fun.

Used an LRB med weight all states compliant barrel, Jon Wolfe adjustable gas lock front sight. Then a mix of USGI and Bula parts to complete the barreled action. All headspaced and ready to drop in a stock and function fire.

Dillon Blue?

Supposed to be Ford blue, but at least it's blue. Now I am trying to decide on a stock for 11061. Decisions, decisions.
