I have that same barrel and and the carbine quad rail. Yankee Hill makes good stuff. However, if that's not exactly what you want, you'd be better to buy the components you want, and build your own, IMO.

Was it an NFA firearm, like an SBR or transferrable Class III firearm? That could be a reason.

Another +1 on Aim. By the way, Mosin Nagant rifles were manufactured outside of the former USSR, as well. The Chinese MN rifles are just as authentic.

How does this work, exactly? I bought an 870 at the end of November, so I'm assuming I download this, fill it out with whatever information, then send it in to them?

Be forewarned if you register on 7.62x54R.net.... they do not tolerate ANY sort of alterations, whether it be a Bubba job, restoration, or even bringing a Bubba'd rifle back to its original configuration. Replacements for broken parts is a different matter. As for the 91/30, they're great...

My first duty station was Fort Drum. Our weapons and equipment worked in the cold just fine, and I don't remember ever using any other the heavy duty CLP while there (although it's possible we might have).

I bought a very nice laminate stock Russian for $250 from a member on another forum, and I bought a Norinco for $200 back in November. The most I've paid for any of my SKS rifles was $350 for an all-matched Albanian. $275 isn't ridiculous for a Norinco, but it's not particularly great, either.

The Enfield. It's the greatest bolt gun ever built. You can run light ball through a 39, but they're optimized for a much heavier round, which probably isn't going to be much easier to acquire than target .303 ammo is.

Para Rescue is the unit you're thinking of. I'd dare say they're not exactly the "norm" of the Air Force, though.

You can get any length free float tube or rail system you want, just as long as your gas block isn't up too high to fit it on. If it is, then you need to either get whatever length your gas block allows, or replace it with a low profile gas block.

You can replace the end plate, if you want to go that route. They make the kind the sling goes through, they make the hook mount type (personal favourite of mine), they make the ones which have the quick disconnect swivels.

Second the Vortex recommendation. Good optic for the price. The rest of them can be a bit hit or miss. I know people who've had TruGlo products fall apart on them, whereas my housemate is using a TruGlo optic I originally had mounted on a .410 shotgun, and it works just fine.

What comes with the Sarco kit? Sounds like you'd be a bit closer to $700 than $600 (once you factor in your LPK and buttstock/extension tube/buffer assembly), but it would still be a damn sight better to spend the money on that than the Century rifle.

Well, there's different grades of Wolf ammo, manufactured by different companies, and that's something worth keeping in mind, as well. Wolf doesn't actually manufacture the ammo - Tula Cartridge Works, Prvi Partisan, and others are the actual manufacturers (I forget the name of the company that...

I use it in my Mini 14 all the time. I've run it in my AR before, though it's not something I make it a habit of doing (steel-on-steel, etc.). I have a friend who uses it in his Kel Tec SU16. But an AK platform would probably be best suited for it.
