NF1E Posted August 16, 2023 Report Posted August 16, 2023 This M-25 with 18.5" LRB/CBI barrel has been in the herd for years. Â With the other M-25s being posted recently my interest in a different variation got the best of me. Â USGI fiberglass stock with bipod adapter that accepts either Harris or Picatinny rail units and one of HAWKS selector kits, TNVC cheek riser, Leupold MK 4 3.5 - 10 with TMR reticle and my OSS HX-QD. 338 Magnum TI suppressor attached with a Delta 5/5 x 24 adapter. Finished up new paint job last night topped off with a matte finish clear coat. Going to let her set for a few days for the paint to harden before range session. I have a few choices of patches for the riser which usually generate some conversations. Â Whatta Hobby! Â Â Â Â
Cunuckgaucho Posted August 17, 2023 Report Posted August 17, 2023 Â Â My vote is the first patch or maybe get one made up that says "Whatta Hobby!"

Bula Defense Systems makes a M-21 DMR with a similarly attached rail. If one wants to go even further Bula makes a receiver XM21 were rail sections are machined into the receiver. Best of the best in my opinion. Whatta Hobby!   Â
Cunuckgaucho Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 Those LRB M-25 are gorgeous! Now I want one, question is can I have one brought in as the Canadian rules are pretty crazy right now and in a state of flux. For your viewing pleasure Five unfired still in factory grease Italian recievers
98Z5V Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 don't know if I'm missing something, or looking at your pictures of your gun wrong, but these receivers are amazing...  ^^^ Those receivers don't look like the receiver on the gun you posted...  What am I not looking at correctly here?... Â
