M1D Clone

M1D Clone

So I picked up an actual M1D “666” barrel I hoped to put together as a D clone with a reclaimed receiver since I couldn’t see paying $4-6k for the real deal, but once I got it together, the accuracy wasn’t great, so I took the real barrel off and mounted a SA45 barrel with a repro D block, but now the repro scope mount has play in it. The rifle with iron sights is very accurate now so the barrel bore issue has been corrected but the scope mount isn’t solid with the repro block — I’m just thinking I’ll use brass shims and to tighten the mount. Anyone have any suggestions to correct this? Does the original GI mount on the repro block fix this or is it the same problem. I’m thinking the repro block is the culprit since it the repro mount seemed solid on the original barrel but IDK….

Carbine projects

Here are a couple of project carbines I’ve put together recently from bits and pieces I’d collected over the years. 2 Inland’s and a Winchester.
