I see you got that bayonet off. Was the rivet hard to remove?

Not at all. It seems the previous owner had bubbad it a little and I was able to push the rivet out by hand. The rivet was a NOS rivet that wasn't even flared so it required ZERO pressure.

The ferrule was severely ground down as well by the previous owner. I was able to push the rivet on that with my pinky nail and then pulled it out by hand on the other side. 

I installed a new rivet on the hand guard and fused the rivet head with what's left of the ferrule as I am worried at how little "meat" was left.

Awesome stock and rifle dude, nice job! Did you enjoy the hand guard fitting?  Mine was a P-I-T-A! It took me around 3 hours to fit the entire stock. I can't wait to go shoot mine hopefully this week and try it out.

The fitting was indeed a challenge but the rifle is in nice and tight. There isn't even room to glass bed it. The handguard when installed is nice a tight. When removed from the rifle, the handguard has a little play to it.

It definitely took a few hours. Having the proper tools would have made it much faster.

Yep, mine is the same. But it is rock solid when it's installed. I actually had to drill the pins in mine (pins on the handguard) just a tad deeper to make the gas tube seat all the way down. Even after all that, I had to shave the spot on the gas tube where the takedown lever thingy rides upon the tube. It would not go down without filing it a bit. Although, the gas tube on this rifle has always been super tight fitting anyways so it needed it.

It is funny I started thinking about that stock you won while I was watching an episode of ZNATION last Friday. I wish you could make an appearance in the series one of these weeks! LOL

Thanks MCR. I am definitely keeping it as an heirloom to be passed down the generations. Providing that when I do kick the bucket, I don't try to take it with me first lol.

I just want to let You know that if You decide to take the Gray Zombie killer with You, I will stand by Your Wishes, by donating the first $100 towards the pine shipping crate they plant U in and the 500 pound of cosmoline to fill said box and You with. I just want You to know Brother, We will take great care of You. Because We care.

Thank you, it means a lot to me

At least if I come back as the zombie, the cosmoline will slow me down lol

Lol I need to spend more time in the retail/business section. This thread is about 6 weeks old and I am just seeing it.

Guys the pictures do not do any justice. I've seen it in person at the range with JB and it is amazing. Definitely a heirloom and a headturner.

I wish both Jason and 40Below's rifles could make an appearance in a zombie movie! I think they would fit in real well
I could just see some poor hitchhiker fighting for his life with an axe or bat and have Jason drive up and save the day with his SKS zombie killer!

[jason bourne]

Hell, id be happy just to have the two rifles in the same place at the same time. That would mean I get to shoot with -40.

If it was a end of the world type show I could totally see the two zombie timbersmiths and the red 666 SKS (I forgot who was the owner??) just tearing the flesh eaters apart.
