Nicely done.
Watch out for alignment with that suppressor they're famous for strikes.

I had this bubba`d 8/44 Fazack N05 collecting rust and dust so I decided to resurrect it.
After reading various conversations on taming the beast, I decided to give it a whirl.

 This rifle was bought on the cheap a few yrs back, the receiver is drilled and tapped, the flash hider was ventilated in front of the sight with many many tiny holes probably an attempt to negate barrel flip. Then the holes where bronze brazed closed, I`d assume, based on the gold color. At least its all matching.

 So I restocked, with a No4 butt, larger recoil area, took the flash hider off and cut back the damaged forward area of the barrel, about 7/8 of an inch, Then proceeded to fit an M1a muzzle brake and sight. I got the front sight height close based off the original front sight, even if its too high there`s lots of rear sight adjustment.

 Tomorrow will be test day, If its better and shoots decent, I may just have a new handy light weight bush gun, game getter. If nothing else, it looks cool, and otherwise turned a turd into something functional.




shoot em if you got em
