edgecrusher Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Jgun, have you gotten started? I too am thinking of building a similar rifle in a jae stock with the same accuracy goals in mind. Let me know how this is going, I'm getting itchy to start.

Jgun Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've ordered my stock (April) and put my name on the list for the rear lugged receiver I want. As soon as I get my receiver, I'll get started. If I don't see the receiver in the next month, I may order my barrel anyway. Since I won't see my stock before the beginning of the year, I picked up a USGI wood stock that I can put it in temporarily until the JAE arrives. What are your thoughts on components? If your going for max accuracy, I'm guessing your planning on long barrel, not scout or SOCOM, do you have a barrel picked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 i was thinking of starting here and going from there. http://www.fulton-armory.com/fultonarmoryusriflecal762mmm14-1-1-1-2-2-2-3.aspx is the jae stock that backed up? i can find it other places, maybe basic, and add the accessories after. i am definately going with a 22", and i like the 1-10 medium contour for 168 gr and 175 gr bullets, fggm until i can load my own in the future. the complete receiver offers the most for what i want, with the possibility for other upgrades after. i looked at the smith enterprises set, and when i was done i was 400$ over the price here, without the benefit of it being put together and head spaced.

Jgun Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I placed my order in April, before the Gen3 stocks had started shipping. I was told then to expect 10 months. I, too, see that people who had placed their orders before me, and who have already taken delivery, are selling them now on GB and other places, but that was not the case when I placed my order, besides which,I will be able to get mine with exactly the options I want, in the color I want, at a price that's a little lower than I'm seeing the new ones going for online. The receiver is now the thing that is controlling when I start and how long it will take for my build, not the stock, that will just be an upgrade when it comes in. The Fulton M25 looks like a top of the line setup, and a perfect match for a JAE stock, just keep in mind, if you get one and decide to send it back to JAE for upgrades, the options cost substantially more than they do if ordered when buying a new stock from them, so you'd have to add that into the total cost if comparing that to ordering one direct from JAE. Although you may end up with your finished gun sooner, if you go that route along with the Fulton barreled action. Good luck, we'll have to compare our experiences once we both have our projects completed. One other thing that may or may not matter to you, is that if you think you might ever want to shoot high power service rifle class with this gun, it has to be externally stock, which means that you'd have to switch from the JAE stock (not hard to do) and use a GI type flashhider (also not hard to bolt on) but the built in rail of the M25 receiver, although superior to the M21, is not legal, so if you think you might ever want to shoot your gun in competition down the road you might want to reconsider the M25 setup. Personally, I'd prefer to build an M25 type gun, but want to leave myself the option to shoot service rifle down the road, so am going with the rear lugged M21 receiver.

edgecrusher Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 there is jack shit around here for anything competition, i want to do three gun and can't even find that. so it will be for me, and i will eventually order right from jae, thanks for the insight. my build will probably start in the spring, after my back yard project. i think i'll try to order what i can when i can, but it might take all of 2012. i was thinking of maybe getting a super kriss but this thread has been "bothering" me, and i think i'd like to add a few more .308 rifles to my safe, maybe a sage ebr with an 18" barrel later on. now where's that powerball ticket?

Jgun Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Are you referring to the Kriss super V? Have you had a chance to fire one? I own one and have found it to be somewhat ammo sensitive and I've also had some reliability issues with those stupid Magpul extensions for the Glock Mags. I finally ended up with the extended Glock mags, which so far seem to be OK. If I were to do it again, I'd opt for a .45ACP AR based on one of Justins CNC Gunsmithing receivers. I think that the grease gun mags are superior to the Glock mags, besides having greater capacity, besides that, all of the AR accessories will fit, and I think you can put one together for less than the price of the super V. If you check out the pictures you can see the carbon fiber handguard and mag well I made for it. I think that both of them improve the ergonomics, but the AR's ergonomics are better,besides which, if you train with an AR all the controls on the Kriss are different.

Jgun Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'd also like to have one of those scout length M1A's, probably in the sage stock, but that won't be until after the bench M1A is built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes that's what I meant. Nice job on the carbon fiber. We seem to have similar toy issues <lmao>. Either way, I will keep you updated <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O MAN Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 H2O man, I also like those Sage stocks. I see your posts on the Rouge, and impressive as it is, I "think" that I prefer a rifle with the magwell in front of the trigger due to the fact that I can make faster mag changes. Mag changes on the M14 have never been 'fast' and learning the bullpup configuration takes time... I am about to find out if the new 50 round drum mag that's on the market will work with the Rogue - stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O MAN Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 The X-14 50 round drum I received was a little too wide for my Chinese receivers - I returned it to the manufacturer with measurements, they will send me a new one that will fit and I'll post pictures with a range review when that happens.Until then...

Jgun Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 H20 MAN, That SAGE with the FAL (I think) PRS stock, is one nice setup. I've heard that it's the heaviest of the three stock types, with the AR buffer type being the lightest and the one with the side extension bars being in the middle. Would you say that is the case?

Jgun Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Correct, LRB M25, I called them up this week just to see where my name was on the waiting list for a rear lugged M14S receiver, they told me that they'd had someone back out on the M25. It couldn't have come at a worse time for me financially, but I figured I'd better jump on it. Now I'll be able to put it together according to my schedule/financial situation and not be held up because I'm waiting for the receiver. I don't think I'm likely to be able to pick up my barrel before the beginning of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgun Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I don't expect that there will be much(if any) progress on this build until after I get on the other side of Christmas, but in my mind it's already finished. I'm planning on the 22" Krieger heavy. The trigger, bolt and op rod will be USGI if I can find good stuff at a fair price. Will update when I have something happening. By the way, any progress on the 50 drum for your bullpup? I would have liked to try one myself, but I see that they don't fit the JAE stock.

H2O MAN Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Medium heavy 22.0" in the stock, standard 22.0" as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
