With Fall and Winter projects , I have assembled 13 new rifles on all receivers purchased for those jobs. Now, with this virus thing around it's time to start on a couple of Spring builds while isolating at home.
Picked up 2 M14 receivers, Bula Defense Systems with usgi heels added. These will be assembled using all SA and H&R parts in the traditional style.

Very similar to Scrooge McDuck, I just lay on the floor with them and quack like a maniac. Truthfully, I put them is safes and bring them out to admire and clean on rainy days.
I have a range in my yard so most of them actually get used.

Took more photos this morning. One shows interior welding as requested. No interference with bolt movement. Another project for our quarantine period.
