Thanks...still waiting on my barrel!
Here are the images of the new barrel installed. It's raining something fierce in NM today. Supposed to get 9" in the next 24hrd (rare). Will take it out and give it a test firing. The springs have been worked and shortened IAW the instructions. The barrel fits nice and snug. test fitted a round in the unattached barrel. Will post video of the test firing when done.
Once my front sight assembly comes in from BDL, I can fit that then I'll tackle the finishing.
Have you test fitted the bayonet? It looks good so far...
I don't have a bayonet yet! Am working on accessories. Will test fire without the front sight to get the spring tension/length correct.
Spike or blade bayonet?
Spike bayonet, unless you find a no 7 bayonet.
Probably easier to find a spike.
Front sight parts sent yesterday Oz by Priority Mail. I have plenty of nice British spikes if in need. The No.7Mk.1 blade bayonet is also correct but I don't have any at the moment.

Still got lots of newish condition mags too if in need.
Gents,
Thanks for the recommendations on the bayonet.
Brian,
Thanks for the update on the sights. I'm good on the mags, have 5 of them various makers, and will probably catch a spike from you. Will keep looking for the A/B bayonet web holder with the small side pouch!!
