['73 H1 Triple]

Upgrade
The century arms receiver needs a little bit of work so I decided to upgrade to a much higher quality reciever, an Imbel which is forged. Purchased one on GB last night.



I also picked up some goodies for the sporter to bring that back to it's former glory.

wooden stock, US made pistol grip, US made gas piston, wooden forearms
plus US made mag floor plates. ( need 7 US made parts due to 922r )

British L1A1 parts kit I purchased back in the mid 90 for $99 ( they're going for $500 - $700+ right now) plus a receiver I purchased.

Here's what they look like assembled


I also have a "sporterized" L1A1 purchased around the same time as the kit which I found out I can legally convert back to original specs by replacing 7 of 17 parts wityh US made parts.



The sporter has a thumbhole stock plus the flash hider cut off ( "angry beavers" according to the FALfiles forum)
