Update Jan 09 2006

--------------------------------------------------------

I wasnt happy with the trunnion - just wasnt quite up to snuff. So I built a new one.

Here it is mounted in the lower reciever with the barrel / handguards and dust cover. This version has a properly rounded side, complete structure, is a bit taller to correct some slack with the dust cover, and has the whole trunnion assembly complete with manufacturing stamps. 1984 - a good year for this weapon I think! Also you can just see the rolled steel pin that holds the rear handguard retainer in place, as it does in the realsteel.

Also hacked the upper handguard in half and extended it to the correct length. This was necessary as the handguard was not long enough once the correct sized trunnion was installed.

The folding stock has been ordered from Tantal, and my autoback guarder bolt is ready for pickup at the postoffice tomorrow. Just need my pistol grip and get around to ordering a Cobra sight and it's a done deal...hopefully!
