    Re-lifed Polytech

    Back in early September of last year I bought a side stamped Polytech M14SA with the overtime money I earned working during Hurricane Irene.
    Since I have a standard length Springfield Armory M1Aicon I decided to have the Poly rebuilt as a bush rifle to go with my FAL carbine.
    I did some shopping around and bought a bush length barrel, HK style gas lock front sight, Knights Armament RAS and VLTOR mod stock and used a Smith Ent. Direct connect Vortec flash eliminator and extended bolt stop.
    I got word from my gunsmith today that she's done and will be return shipped this week I hope.
    Heres a before and after picture.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I like it!
    On occassion I see Poly's for sale up here. I thought about snagging one to go along with my Springfield M1Aicon.
    Regardless, I like the bush concept. What length barrel do you have???

    Thanks Steveo, you probably wouldnt believe it, but some of the rifles you guys can get up your way are only dreams down here.
