Well $1500 isn't a great deal but close to what they sell for when they sell...Which isn't often. Sorry you missed on it , I would have too as my high would have been around $1200. Hopefully it went to some one who actually needs it . Ryche

Ok buddy You will get no counter bids from me then. Hoping you get lucky and catch it at a good price. I paid $1900 for mine several years ago Good Luck Ryche

WHIG: Are you actually bidding to win this? If you are then i don't want to go head to head with a member who discovered it. If you are not plz let me know as i would like to throw a bid without stepping on toes. Thanks buddy Ryche

Ha the magazine retaining pins are in backwards. The top hat pin is in the front end and should be in the back. Crazy high price for a Miltech Ryche

It looks like something is funky with your mag door pin. It's to far forward and may have caused the chip in the front hand guard. When you get it torn down check to make sure its not in backwards or is incorrect and to long. If it is to long i think i have a couple correct length ones in my parts. Other wise very nice looking piece. Ryche

Thanks to Camstuff we are moving right along with this project. I will start a new thread when we have pics ready to post with our cleaning and rebuilding endeavors. Thanks again buddy Ryche

Ok so a very good buddy of mine ,who has been completely enamored with my rifles, picked up this one from THREED. It arrived last thurs. Overall condition is rough but rebuildable. It is currently torn down completely and soaking for a overall cleaning. We are currently trying to reach Joe Scott about recoil springs and a buttplate. If anybody has a buttplate (repo ok) and or a recoil tube, and a bayo lug, we can use the help. It was beat a little bad due to the mainspring measuring only 10 1/8 inches. The buffer was bashed into place in the housing but we got the mushrooming on the top fairly straightened out and the buffer now works with out the housing/ spring guide catching on the mainspring. If anybody has a good buffer spring we could use that as well. Have some questions on the number 62 on the rec. in front of the serial number. Anybody got any ideas about that? The font appears to be a European style, I have a barrel with the same type of font stamped on it, and no answers as to why. Any help or good speculation is appreciated. I will try to post pics on the rebuild as we go. I told my buddy he should just join the group as he has been lurking for the past several weeks Any and all opinions are appreciated. Ryche

Hey Joe: tried to reach you by P.M. I need 4 JSAR mainsprings and a repo butt plate if you still have them. Thanks Ryche

Got to agree with WHIG... I was going to build one in 8mm due to having several DROR barrels... but the mag spacers etc has kept me from doing so. That being said i do not have the center barrel guide. I do have the barrel extension ( the back end part) kinda why i didnt follow through with the 8 mm thing. I have a really bubbaed up one . been ground down and cut off with a Dremel cut off wheel . you can have that if ya want for measurements. There is a guy on Broker called Jpeter who seems to have some of this stuff. His prices seem high but if it is what you need then not to bad. I just bought a couple of JLMG main springs from him and had 2 good long conversations with him. He seems to be a good guy. Anyway if you are interested in the back end section let me know Ryche

So the part is off to Rarecat. This whole deal just gave me the kick in the butt i needed to get back and finish my Para carbine project. Thanks for the boost Rarecat. Ryche

I might have collar, and am pretty sure i have and extension. Gotta check and will let ya know. Ryche

If you need a bi-pod I have blueprints for a conversion piece that uses BAR bi-pod legs. I have one on mine and works fine. It screws into the handguard lug in front of the grip. It will not work with a orig. JLMG lug. So it will work with yours just fine. I may even have a spare set of legs laying around. Let me know Ryche Project looks to be well on its way. Looking forward to seeing next pics Ryche

Here are the pics I promised to send.

Hey buddy I have one in decent shape and still in the box. It is very stiff, and missing the tension spring (curved flat spring ) That goes underneath. Also missing the small pin to attach the windage knob once installed. And the windage screw has been scuffed up with what looks to have been a pair of pliers. I will attempt to get help from my wife to post a couple of pics. With a little work i believe it can be brought back to almost new. If you are still interested let me know. Ryche It appears to have been unissued as there is no hole in the windage screw for the knob pin.
