I've been wanting to try building one, parts kits are reasonable and receivers not too bad either.

I have an L1A1 on an IMbel receiver, love it, got rid of the plastic and have it with an izzy hand guard and original wood grip and stock, now if I can just get the Izzy bolt and charging handle and a trilux I'll be fixed up.

Hard to take the time from all those Mosins, and lately Mausers too have eaten up my resources.

Even worse, the dang K-31 I just got looks great,perfect bore sweet trigger, got a scout mount and ler scope mounted just have to get to the range, so many guns so little time.

It's a curse I tell ya.

Here's my Izzy Mauser with a scout mount Leatherwood 2x7x32 LER during hunting season. A SOG UFIXUm but it had a great bore and cleaned up nice.

I like the Israeli furniture, too - got lucky when I bought my first FAL (a 'neutered' Izzy FALO ;>) & my first parts kit (another Izzy FALO ;>), so the Izzy wood is even 'correct' (FWIW). TAPCO is selling US manufactured copies of the Israeli bolt carrier & charging handle, but I don't know if they've proven to be 'bullet proof' or not. I think both would count as "compliance" parts, and it seems like they were even on sale recently...

I'm hoping to do something similar with my 'salvaged' Lee-Enfield Carbine Mk.I. I can't restore it (too much missing or altered), but I would love to mount a scout scope on it. I found a Springfield Armory 2x IER scope w/ Leupold QD rings at the Phoenix gun show last year, so all I need is a Weaver-type mount that will attach to the barrel. My eyes aren't getting any younger, and a little magnification wouldn't hurt...

(By the way, nice looking Mauser! ;>)
