7.62mm Firearms Parts

[03A3]

I don't have the stuff yet, but I ordered a complete trigger group, a bolt, a set of bolt guts and a flash hider from 7.62mm recently.
I'm going to install these parts on a SAI Std, then run the daylights out of it longterm just to see what happens.
I know they had some problems there for a while but going from all current reports it sounds like they've overcame all of that. M14 parts aren't growing on trees and they've stepped up to the plate with new-made parts. I'm willing to give them a good try.
Besides, this is a good excuse to get my USGI parts back off of the SAI lol.
I may have ordered an op rod too. For some reason I can't find a record of what I did order, but now that I think about it, it sure seems like there was an op rod involved in this project. Maybe I'm having hallucinagetic dreams again.

Good thing you got those headspace gauges to check out how the new bolt fits....

Dave that's the only real concern I have about this project. If I don't get a favorable headspace reading I'm going to have to make a decision. Of the 3 options I've come up with, 2 of them are gonna be costly. What's new lol.
I'll let you know how the headspace deal works out.
And try to get me a pic of some tracer fire if you can.

Edit : I was going to do this last Winter, but you know how that goes. It got delayed and put off. Now it's decent weather. If the headspace don't work out I don't think I'll put the gun out of commission until next Winter. That's one option. Another is to build using these parts. More delay.
