I finally got a chance to shoot both the MG53s I built. After a little lubercation and cycling issures they both shot and feed great. Now all that's left is to remove the temporary rail machine screws, rivet them in place sandblast and put on a finish. I think I will Park them. SUCCESS FINALLY BIL!, YES I AM SHOUTING AGAIN!!!!!. Pictures when the finish is on them. I also was successful in shooting my BREN MKII I just built.

Can you tell me what type of temporary rail screws you used and how you're giong to do the rivet job?

I used 10-23 socket head cap screws threaded into the rails and will use round head rivets to replace them.

You meant 10-32?

You mean Ruger 10-22?

As Mr. Burns would say, "Excellent."

Great work and you managed to get them done while there still is "Kaiserwetter" instead of freezing in the snow at the range

Yes, I ment 10-32UNF socket head cap screw. Sorry for the typo. I will post some pictures of them tonight.
