G3K Build?

Mine's the one in the middle.
Still waiting for my Form 1. Filed on 14 July. 🙁
Jeff is being very patient with me.

Wonder who the lucky owner of that flamethrower on the left is.
 
Well Jeff sent me some more pix today. My rifle is finished but I'm still waiting for my Form 1.
It's been six weeks.

In hindsight I should have sent him one of those 5 inch muzzle breaks from RTG but I may as well just wait now.

The one and only form 1 I've ever done took 17 days, for a rimfire suppressor.

I'm actually planning on doing another efile form 1 tomorrow for an AK build (Krinkov)

6 weeks is a brutal wait, I can't imagine how much it must suck for the guys who have to do the Form 4's, having a toy in "NFA Jail" for half a year or longer is rough.

She's looking great though, I think you;ll be happy for sure.

Congrats. So Jeff built it as an SBR with his info on it? Or he built it as a pistol and your info will be engraved on it?

That looks great--- I would keep the flash hider that is installed. ;)

Actually I asked if he was going engrave his shop name on it. He said he's not allowed to engrave on PTR receivers.
I dont remember the reason, ATF legal stuff I suppose. I was disappointed.
He engraved my name on the receiver before he built it. I dont have a trust or anything, just me.

US parts are

Brake
Barrel
Trunion
Receiver
Charging handle
Trigger box
Trigger
Hammer
Buttstock
I have 5 G3 mags with US made floorplates

I've read approvals are taking two months-ish. Hopefully that means I have two more weeks.

Keep us updated on the approval--- and pictures of the rifle, when received. ;)

The G3K is a great shooter. Tried a scope but decided to go back to irons due to weight. Might try a red dot in the future.

It dawned on me after seeing those pix that I should have had Jeff add a rail to my build. Or at least considered it. I was leaning towards an original looking rifle so it never crossed my mind. I have a Para-FAL carbine with a railed top cover if I ever wanted to add an optic to a 30 cal rifle. No regrets I guess, it's too late now, that's for sure.

I love the classic lines and profile without the rail. Good miss IMO. (y)
