    Ok no matter if you are one of the local builders or like me a to skeered to start (I have a few reasons) What are your plans for the next build?


    I have to get a couple type III receivers here to complete the ARGY kits that are on the way.
    I am leaning VERY VERY heavily towards a ARGY PARA, using the Argy lower, I am undecided about the rest, I sure hate hacking the new argy barrel down to 17 1/2 inches! And still not sure about the bolt and carrier, probably go with a inch style with sand cuts!

    What do YOU have up your sleeve? Share your plans!!

    Baton Rouge... Mostly
    Assemble the G1 (I've got a complete kit excepting the Carrying Handle, And I could use a better stock)
    On ether a DSA or Coonan Type 1 (Whichever I decide... I have both)

    Couple Standard Imbel Kits... (Ordinary rifles) Might make one a 16 inch carbine.

    Gonna chop a Argy kit to have a new Para... (I can Deal with cutting it):D

    Goal is to get 4-5 done this summer.

    Not gonna get the Izzi or rest done this year...

    I will do that Hoot is really good people he has always done me right.
    I traded him a L1A1 kit for a Hi-power and i felt bad because i only payed $99.00 for the kit but i did have to buy 10 of them and i had not been keeping up with prices so i threw in a big bag of inch parts and some like new aussie wood he was tickled to say the least.
    he then turned around and found me a izzy heavy barrel kit that was like new for $500.
    old hoot can not be beat in my book "but dont tell him i said that'

    Well I just picked up two DSA receivers (a type I and a type II) from rockmup, the type I will be heading out with a SADF R1 (technically a R3) kit. This one will be somewhat different due to the fact I have found thru studies they were in fact one of the countries that ordered some of their later riFALS to be finished in a SERVICE BROWN satin finish. Since I have a riFAL finished in Gray PARK, one in BLACK, and one in WHITE TIGER, I guess maybe one in BROWN would look pretty damn cool! This kit will be heading out Tuesday to Johnny "MOSES" Glover for final assemble and finishing. Should be about a month and it will be ready to eat thru some ammo killing more "PAPER BANDITS"!

    I am also finalizing a matching numbers STG kit that I have. I am in a dilemma as far as the finish, right now I am caught between a HOT BLUE finish on entire rifle with Walnut finish butt stock and Pistol Grip with black dura coated handguards and bi-pod OR considering going with BIRDSONG Teflon COATING and it will be a multi-color finish using the Black-T and Green-T. The remaining 2 1/2 STG kits I have will be placed back into storage and waited to cycle back around before buiding.

    Well theres my build plans/dreams for now!
