I will be taking some better quality pics etc but figured that I would add a glimpse of my girl.. She is coming together nicely and I am excited.. My desire is to get to a match when she is all complete and dialed in..

Beautiful rifle Jack, thanks for sharing! What are you using for springs? Also, I may be wrong , but is the numbered follower arm correct for your serial? I don't have information in front of me, so again, apologies if I am wrong in my thinking.

I would also like to hear how your rear sights are tracking- is that a Rat Worx kit? If you have seen my post on barrel timing you will understand what I mean. Thanks, and again, beautiful project!

Stock grain is incredible. Looks a bit like like tiger stripes. Looking good.

Thanks guys!! I certainly enjoy my other M1's but this one is special indeed..

Mooren1s, about 3 pages back I have a post that goes over a ton of stuff from the initial stages of my madness. In short, I am using a RaWorx kit, aesthetically at this point, superb.. I am using keystone springs and Type I rod all working/usable reproductions by bubba1. I could spend hours admiring these items alone!

Not sure about the rear sight issues you mention, again my barrel/bolt were most graciously installed by bubba1. Come to think of it, this project in it's entirety not only took form here in this forum but is a product of the absolute generosity and knowledge of some awesome folks here.. Indeed, this is totally "The Peoples Gas Trap" Ha!
