i have a 20" dedicated 22LR upper that changes places with my 20" 223 upper from time to time

and heres one of a slightly earlier era -

im just past 60 and yes i love my wheel guns , they may well be the 'heart' of my collection but the pistols were never far behind , but i also shoot both , pistols for 3-gun , and revolvers for SASS ,

i inherited most of my fathers firearms as well , treasure them , he would want you to and pass them on to the next generation when the time comes , its the american way , i too have a mkII [albeit blue] - i think they are one of the best ruger made , and mine is the most accurate 22cal...

based on what you have said the lithgow would be a legitimate australian made WWI battle rifle , the change from mkIII to mkIII* occured in mid-late 1915 , so a 1918 rifle would definetly be a mkIII* , it would of coarse have had a full wood stock when made with a steel nose cap[bayonet...

just a little additional info reguarding markings to add to the great info provided above , the very early savages [1941-2] were marked as mkI , these would have a small button at the right/rear of the bolt , it is depressed to allow bolt removal , these are the rare ones of the savage as...

welcome back to the AR platform , they all do that , its the intent , and it works well , to reduce recoil and improve accuracy , im starting to like the sound , it grows on you much like the ping of the M1garand , and the clack of a kalishnokoff , and the smell of the cloud of blue from a...

"Time to find a "better" half." ill second that - im currently replaceing , at exorbatant cost , all that ex's cost me over the last 40 years , dont be like me ....................... having said that , if i needed through necessity to pair down my holdings , id keep 1] your best...

i run a fixed behind my eotech - lower third cowitness - on my M4 type carbine , it is easy for the eye to react if it shuts down ive got a removeable carry handle for my A3 type because if the ACOG goes down its gotta be removed anyway

right side of the stock kills it - its a left side out wall hanger unless by chance a buyer has the buttstock for it , otherwise its a fair rifle finish wise based on its age , there are those that collect these in the older calibers tho

your really trying to cover too many bases with a single solution , but i understand the desire to have one rifle do it all , an aimpoint will solve the CQB senario and a tip off magnifier should get you out at range , if a lighted sight is desired , otherwise id look at the variable leupold...

yes - didnt say they were useable without optic removal , but excelent observation and my original info was deficient , the FAL has a QD aimpoint mount as well - then there is a groove in the ARMS mount that allows use of the irons , the EOTECH is cowitnessed lower third , its not even...

as long as they are indexed when installed you should be fine , its not an amature instalation in eather case ,

looks like you got a nice one -congrats answer to the sight question is tricky as ive not been to their facility , but i know the folks at DPMS , the rifles are assembled and fired for function , id guess most go out in the neutral position for sight adjustment but its up to you to ZERO...

it will be 'fun to play with' , and if that is of interest go for it , BEFORE I START THIS IS JUST MY 2 CENTS - the illuminated trijicon chevrons are very nice , and fun , the red dots are cool too , but the fine cross hair is the easiest to be accurate with the others are quicker...
