Arsenal SA93 I didn't build it, but I like it.

Updated SA93 with replacement gas block, FSB, and cleaning rod. Still need to thread the muzzle and install the lower tang.

New Updates SA93
Bulgy Type 3 gas block and FSB. Kvar lower stock tang -- not as good as a factory original piece as only one rivet can be mounted inside the receiver instead of two, but it does the job. Roughed out the rear receiver, then hand filed the lower tang recess over a few afternoons. Z-recto magic'ed Polish laminate.

Looks great Andyman. Is that a milled magazine catch I see on there??

Docwade has some of the coolest toys on the planet. What a collection!!!!!
 
#178 ·
Doc, you have the most drool worthy collection I've ever seen. Every few months I go back and look at the pics and get envious all over again. Ditto on the other's question.... do you still have the collection?
 
#181 ·
Definitely best of luck to you Doc getting the collection back to where it was.
 
#186 ·
Doc, that is beautiful !!!!!! I am still as envious of your collection as I ever was. Continued good luck on rounding them all back up.

BTW, what kind of price range are the Legends going for nowadays? (not asking what you paid mind you, just ballpark range.) TIA,
 
#187 ·
Those Legends have a pretty broad price range. Lately, those without the box have been below $2000 ($1600-$1900 depending on accessories). With the box prices are around $2200-$2500. People have them listed up to $3000, but they aren't selling for that price. I remember passing on a Polytech Legend underfolder at a local pawn for $795. It was just the rifle and had some surface rust, but would have still made a good addition to the collection. That was only 5 years ago.
 
#188 ·
WOW!!!! I tell you, I sure wish I had invested in Chinese variants years ago. Thant is some serious coin. Thanks Doc.
 
#192 ·
Well if you start doing beltfeds, please post some more gun porn!!!!
 
#194 ·
Sorry, I haven't been back in a while. I didn't manage to hang onto it. Most of these have managed to find their way into relatively permanent collections. This one, surprisingly enough, had a canted front sight.
 
#197 ·
Yeah, I love the chrome look. You got to have at least one "bling piece". LOL.
 
#202 ·
I'm drooling all over the keyboard. Nice!!!!!
 
#203 ·
Doc, you've got some gorgeous rifles.

I see you've got some of Stan's. I've not heard from him lately, have you?
