Man...that looks good! Brings back memories of my feverish builds a few years ago. It's so much work to put one of these together that not many people can appreciate until they try one themselves. Keep up the good work there!

Well I think that is the main build done. Still have to build a mount and then the details of the charging handle, pawl brackets and rear sight etc, but it looks good enough now to put it on display.

Trigger is spring loaded

So last photo for awhile, hope people find the documenting of my build helpful. :D

Been a while since anyone has posted in this thread. Any new projects going on lately? I'm thinking I might have to cobble together a 1919a4 replica to go with my M2HB. Kept it, but sold the CJ3A it was supposed to go in, but I picked up a CJ2a recently, so there's still hope. 8)
