Still waiting on Barrelled Receiver from Special Weapons, LLC.
Got an ASA 30mm QD Scope Ring Set from Brownell's.
Still think about Receiver Rails and Forward Assist

11/02/01
Acquired an ACTUAL MSG90 gripframe, so I no longer need the SEF I had originally purchased.
Can't decide what to do about Receiver Rails yet (make em or buy em). The Hesse Arms product I received wasn't even worth returning. I tossed them in the trash.

I will probably custom make my own scope mount, but for NOW I've settled for the ARMSTAR Universal Weaver rail!
I DID get a Springfield Armory 4-14X56 3rd Gen Gov't Scope w/ Illuminated Reticle and Sunshade , though...... and at a GREAT price from a buddy !!
Here's a pic of the scope's cool reticle:

05/29/01
Ordered MSG90 Buttstock from Gordon Miller.
Parts needed: PSG1 Forearm, Scope mount.

05/22/01
Not much to report right now. Parts are on order. VERY few have arrived.

HK91 Parts kit ordered from Special Weapons, LLC.

26" Douglas "Sniper" barrel ordered from Special Weapons, LLC.

Received "New Style" SEF gripframe. I have completed Clipping and Pinning this part. It is ready to install.

Received Ambi selector lever for HK91 Metal gripframe.
I will drill, tap, and key an extended selector (for a PLASTIC gripframe) to make the correct ambi selector for my rifle using parts scavenged from this item..
