Hello All ,

I have an A.R.M.S. Mount#18 on mine... I originally had the "Old Style" #18 that I traded straight up for the new style A.R.M.S. Here are some pics and a component list.

Jon Tank in Nebraska did all Accurizing work.

USGI TRW Trigger Group 4.5-5lb Crisp
USGI TRW OpRod fitted
USGI TRW Bolt Head Space checked
Jon Tank one piece NM Buffer
Gas System unitized
USGI Flash Suppressor Reamed
Barrel Crowned and flushed to Flash Suppressor
NM Jon Tank Milled front Sight
NM2A rear Sight Base with NM Windage & Elevation Knobs and hooded aperture
McMillian M1A Stock with Ft.Devon Cut
NM Jon Tank Steel Bedding Block (metal on metal NO worries when "cleaning and breaking down the rifle")
A.R.M.S. Mount
Leupold Illuminated MK4

Jon tank does top nothch work and is great to deal with. it took 9months but it was worth the wait here are some pics of the rifle and the steel bedding block stages.
Regards,
"Doc"
