Very nice. I've spoken with Marc on the phone. He gives a nice discount to active military/LEO. He's a no nonsense type of guy. I just received the same barrel from Kreiger a few weeks ago. Make sure to post some more pictures when he's finished with it.

Because shipping takes a couple of days...


Seriously though, just bc I found it for a song. I was just looking for a 700 and stumbled on a LNIB 700 that happened to be an older 700 with a 6 digit serial #.

My bad, I have two Kriegers on my other guns and they are laser man. But I have the MTU's and they're pretty huge, no doubt.

Thanks, I was just curious since I called them previously and kinda got the vibe they didn't want to do individual sales...contract only.

Sweet. You definitely have to show the finished product!

And that's exactly what I'm thinking about doing next.

How did you get the stock inlet for the DD Ross bottom metal?

Looks like you will have a very nice rifle once its complete. I had GAP build me a M40A3 except it has the steel floorplate version which was used before the DBM system. Cant wait to get mine.

Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Marc's website can be found in my signature, but it's: Spartanrifles.com

He sent me some pictures yesterday of the rifle at his shop. It's complete but just waiting on it to be coated.

Dealing with Marc was a pleasure! Awesome guy to do business with and he builds a damn good rifle!

We'll see if this thing shoots straight tomorrow...

You'll be glad you did! Now this thing needs some spray paint and I need to put my simrad cap. But I need longer screws for it.
