    Peter, the carry handle was missing from my parts kit, and I just haven't had the chance to get a new one yet. My front grip was a repro from IMA, which worked quite well. It's still a really heavy piece to shoot offhand, though.

    I will be doing a video later on that focuses on the history of the gun and how the conversion works, which will include some longer range shooting. That match was the first time I'd actually fired it, and I'm really looking forward to getting in some more trigger time.

    Yes, a bit un-handy and unwieldy...if you'd have had it slung across and were working in short bursts, it would have been a whole different story...but I know, that's not possible...too bad though. Looking forward to the subsequent vid.
    Regards, Jim
