Hi Fellas,

I was gonna wait until this rifle was completely done, but I didn't.

I call this rig the Canadian Deer Stalker. This little jewel in the rough came to me with a horrible 18.5" barrel chop, and no front sight. The blue is in nice condition, didn't seem to have been shot much, if at all. The receiver, bolt, carrier, & trigger group matches, so the fire control group is GTG. The the muzzle was faced, & an 11* crown done, and there was enough stock muzzle tip left to put on a neutered front sight globe. On this rifle I went with a Mojo rear sight. I like it, it's quick, and handles nice. The mag didn't match so I put an unnumbered 5 rounder on, then put the whole she-bang in a Butler Creek stock. I still have to cold blue the muzzle. Other than the barrel length, coulda come from an importer like this, and there were commercial 18.5" SKSs produced. It's a keeper. PAX

Nice.I like the sleek lines and comfort of the conventional stock and the simplicity of the wooly booger bipod.

Clean looking build, I like it! How do you like the mojo sight? Was it tricky to install?

Repurposed and modifies FSB, right?

Thanks Fellas,

I've never tried to use the bipod for shootin, it's mostly a display/photo apparatus.

The Mojo was easy to install, the tricky part is removing the rear ladder without marring the finish. It and the Williams are very close in function. I went with the Mojo on this rifle because of the barrel lenght

That front globe actually came from a Paratrooper rescue. I'm going to post a pictorial thread soon about the various rescues/salvages/Bubbas I've cobbled together. PAX
