Hi fellas,
Just finalized an acquisition for this little gem.

I just picked it up over on the GB forum. Sellers pictures and description had me thinking it was a KSI with the ground bayo lug & rod guides. In the additional close up pictures I requested, the cut job and FSB install looks factory, so now I'm thinking it's Bubbas handy work on a commercial Para. The bayo slot was filled in, the furniture painted camo, and the ground FSB looks parked. He was asking $475 but we horse traded. JPE, Pomona, CA was the importer, and I'm not sure if they had Paras made.
Wadda ya think?? Signs of a sophisticated and restrained Bubba? This one came out of Arizona, as did my previous Para. PAX
Well, Its very cool looking : ) But thats about all I know. Let me know if you fall out of love :)
Looks like a de-bayo'd standard Para to me.
