When you decide which kit you want, let me know and I may have a template for it. I have a few, most are for underfolders though, the one I posted before is an AKM I believe but I didn't put a description on the file when I saved it :banghead:
Anyone build AKs?

They are here too but idiots still bring it to the range. That's pretty much why 2 of the local ranges are closed almost half of the year.
A few pics from yesterday...
The Marlin 1894 and the AR with the foregrip are Steve's. The Armalite AR with the FDE EOTech and the angled foregrip is Mike's. The SAM7R AK, the SCAR, and the HK MR556 are mine.

Just commenting on the Marlin (but the food looks GOOD).
Do you still have the leaf sight on that? I can't tell if there is a peep sight on the back end.
And why did you put that lever on the hammer. I tried that and hated it. I felt like it just got in the way of things. Of course, YMMV.
I put a Williams peep on the rear (and ditched the leaf sight). Here are the results:
The hole at the bottom of the target was my first shot at 100 yrds (at a bench with a rest consisting of an ammo can with a dish towel on it).
After adjusting the sight, 1st shot was dead center. Took me a while to realize that I actually hit the target - I thought the "green" center was the bulls, until I realized that it was originally red.
Second shot was just below.
I'll take ~1-1.1 inch MOA with a peep sight with a .45 cal bullet.
That was a homemade load, 305gr Hornady HP running around 2000-2100 fps. I've killed deer at 15 yards that literally did a 1.5x body roll. Pretty much anything within 125-150 yards is dead.
I've got hand loads up to 400gr. Garrett Cartridges does custom loads (solids) up to 540gr @ 1550 fps. That will kill anything on the planet, up to elephant, Cape buff, lion.
Such a bad ass gun.
I love it. My favorite gun.
Great choice.

Scott, I think you might be under the impression that my brother's Marlin is a 45-70. It's a 44 Mag.
Ahh...well never mind then.
Still a great gun/platform. Handy little rifles.
Edit: That factory rear sight still sucks balls though.
Nice lead slingers man
By the way did you custom make that table on your back door or is it store bought that's nice..
