I had been tossing around the idea of building a 20" A2 rifle, for some time.
When I stumbled across this stripped lower, a while back, that sealed the deal. I decided it would be a commemorative rifle, of sorts, for my early days in the Army.
Finally, got the rest of the parts together and built this, one evening, last week. It is a great shooter, despite the 6.5 lb MILSPEC trigger. I have ordered a two stage trigger for it. (2 lb - 1st stage, 2.5 lb - 2nd stage)
Out of the first 100 rounds, I had one FTF, but that was an ammunition problem. The first three rounds grouped in 1/2" at 25 meters and were 2-1/2" below point of aim with a Battle Sight Zero.
