Thanks mate, not yet as I am moving house. So I am shooting my last day tomorrow and then they will be going into storage.

Okay so it's 1-1 on grey vs black, whats your preference ?

Hi D, looking at the time now, I think that I will not be going to BR after all. I cant see myself getting my gear ready now and then getting up as I know I will just stay in bed !!
Enjoy your day shooting !

That is a tasty looking Rifle mate! Look forward to seeing it in action. As for the Colour, Leave it Black. It will only wear over time anyway and get the "used" Look.

Nice job! Those pictures bring back some memories. My rifle at basic training in 1975 was an old XM16E1 but with the bird cage flash hider. GIs discovered that the three prong flash supressor was ideal for inserting into the metal strapping on C ration cartons and then levering up to snap the band. The barrel was so thin that eventually it would start to bend and the open flash supressor was also a magnet for every twig and branch when moving through the brush.

Nice looking rifle and great job putting it together.
