Down to the last 5 of the 13 receivers I picked up last Fall. Trying to decide which to nail together next. 2-Rock-Ola, 2-James River and 1-Bula M21 DMR marked. I am leaning toward the Rock-Ola with the XX ser#. Got a new Winchester barrel and parts just itching to become a rifle.

Wasn't so tough after all. XX marks the spot today. As new Winchester USGI barrel, Rock-Ola bolt, Winchester Op Rod, M1 rear sights with NM apature, SA trigger group, Unitized gas cylinder and a Chinese flash suppressor on the tip. Headspaced at 1.632 and ready for the range.

A gentleman on another forum shamed me into removing the Chinese flash suppressor, which was planned anyway, and replacing it with one of the LRB muzzle brakes. I try to keep a supply of these in the shop.

Nope, no interest in that variation at all.
