That is a little much. By the time you are done with the upgrades the price of the rifle will have doubled.

Sure would have. But if I do get the upgrades listed above I think that it would be pretty much "Bullet proof" for me.

I would be interested in what you found but no trigger housing. You'll have to let me know how it turns out.

All the "Parts" are on the sierra Papa site I mentioned earlier.

I saw them. I was just curious to find out how much of a difference they make.

I read one review somewhere that the trigger group upgrade makes quite a bit of difference. Makes it smoother and not as heavy a trigger pull due to the reduced weight spring being able to be used with the metal hammer. AND the metal recoil spring guide set up I would think would keep things from being able to twist or anything that could possibly happen with the plastic guide rod.

Oh and plus being made of metal the guide rod setup should be more durable.

I'll put it on my list but I have a VEPR coming this week so it will have to wait a little while.

IF I mount the mag pouches onto a vest carrier I will probably also add a secondary LED flashlight and a knife, the S5 or Wardog HACK and my Glock 17 or Sig P225.

Planning some long range work?

Oh sorry, I thought it was a sniper rifle.

Some are but not this one. 7.62x39 with a 16.5 inch barrel.
