Perfect. Spent a while feeding dummy's and feed/function was really, really good. The latch is excellent. Major change to the rifle when carried "in hand". I almost ordered two. Wish I had.

I have my OG bottom metal working just fine now, but threads like this have me considering another rifle just so I can doll it up with stuff like this JO metal and a Carbon Queen stock. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

Somehow it found its way to Catano, PR; that’s right, fugging Puerto Rico, not exactly on a beeline to WV from California. This is a new personal “Best” for the USPS and me. Whoo Hoo! What fresh Hell is this?

I’m thinking it’s a heavy barrel from the pics and 10.5 lb shipping weight.

This is either a used "one off" or something smells. Not 63 of these. B L M - Bureau of Land Management
