That looks great! For my own reference, how long did it take you, and what what did the majority of the work entail?
It was a couple hours work on the stock. You have to open up the stock where the receiver sits in. Also where the trigger guard drops through the bottom of the stock. The trigger guard is wider, so the slot in the pistol grip needs to be widened to match. The handguard also needed to be opened up for the forward part of the slide. I'm sure there were other areas, but it's been a while now since I did this. Pretty much the whole thing didn't fit at all, but is worth the trouble in the long run.
Interesting. I'll keep that in mind. I'm still weighing my options as far as "stock project vs saving for a USGI". Your pics are very tempting, however
You want a GI and you know it, they are not getting any cheaper!
You called me on it. I think I may have located one… now it's just going to be a lot of overtime and skipped lunches out. They aren't getting any cheaper. Hell, when I was in college just five years ago, I remember seeing them, on average, for between 500 and 600. I didn't see a single USGI for under 900 at the last show I was at.
