My latest itch is being scratched. My Mini-14 in 6.8 is great for what is, but the round has a lot to offer -- light rifle profile, adequate lethality for deer, near zero recoil, an increasingly impressive selection of factory fodder etc... And I want/need/must have -- you all know-the pathology -- a more accurate traditonal profiled rifle in the caliber. My grandson might even get his first deer with it.
After long searching for donor ideas, I came across a shop that bolts Lother Walther barrels onto NIB CZ 527s in the caliber. In 5 weeks or so I should have it. 20 inch SS barrel, SPC II throat, and 1 in 10 inch twist. Some extractor work needed too.
After delivery, the bottom, metal is off to RVB Precision to have the magazine shortened flush with the stock bottom line and 'ears' ground off. I'll use that for hunting and keep a spare standard mag for range work etc...
