    I’m guessing you are referring to the guy from Arizona Response Systems? That and some leather products are all that came up with Google. Get them from his store?
    I know him from other forums. I got the “B type” from him. The “C type” I got from a buddy in Poland. (Hey, at least you know who The GunPlumber is now.)

    Beryl parts are complete. Time to convert....Finally!
    I honestly have no idea what the difference is between type B and C. I wish AOA or Atlantic would bring in more of the parts so we could convert them. I was lucky enough to grab a 1913 rail instead of the weaver rails but I’d like the forward pistol grip/rails so I could have a good setup for my light. Can’t decide if I would prefer the side folder or the collapsible stock. I worry about the comfort of both. Right now I just have a cut KVAR nato length plum stock I had sitting around.

    Also,

    When you convert it are you planning on fixing the bayonet lug? I could really use some pictures/ tips on how to cut it to make it work. I’ve been told the tantal has the same open block bayonet lug, but I can’t really find pictures of it anywhere either. I have a nice possibly unissued Polish bayonet I’d like to see on it.


    As far as I can find there is no special tantal or beryl bayonet. Am I correct in that thinking, do you know?


    Can’t wait to see how it looks all decked out in its upgraded gear. :)

    Looking very nice, how do you think the cheekweld/ distance between the top of the stock and the optic will be? Seems like that stock sits really low. May just be the angle of the picture.


    I had an eotech on mine but I sent it back, I don’t know if it is my eyes or if it was a lemon but the dots making up the sight picture was very spotty and noticeable even when “looking past” them and using it as a hologram over the target.

    Just put on my cheap sig Romeo 5 on it and roughly zerod on an 8 inch plate at 80 or so yards. Need to do a real zero but I can’t stop being a lazy slob long enough to build a target holder so I can get on paper at measured distances. Plus I hope to put a more quality optic on it for long term use.
