Thanks, your irons build is slick. Kind of a super stock.
What was involved fitting the sights? Do you run any buffers in either build? Running a thinned 1911 buffer on the gas tube now...want to go thinner and use one front and back. Had reliability issues with two buffers
First thing you got to have is a Mini 14 with flip up sights, it is the dove tail that is cut into the receiver that allows the M1 carbine sights to be mounted. Here is an illustration from Accuracy Systems website http://www.accuracysystemsinc.com/Rear-Sight-Installation-Diagram.php
Yes I do run Wilson Combat 1911 recoil buffers on both rifles, front and back of the operating rod. The target rifle has a problem every now and again ejecting the last case, but the black tactical of mine runs them superbly. The rear buffer did effect the case ejecting a little, I throw them about 8 feet now compared to the 20foot it use to. It also helped with accuracy a little, the front buffer allows the op-rod to move away from the the gas block and piston more evenly when fired. It really helped out with shaking and rattling of the charging handle. The recoil buffers have helped out a lot. Oh I can say this, my target mini does not like the combination of a ruger factory 10 round mag and the recoil buffers, but will shoot them with the 20 round mag all day... go figure
