why is your stripper clip so far over to the one side ????

 

That is a good question but it is also solid and set up for a scope mount and not really a stripper clip.

 

Looks great. Now what’s the popsicle stock fix?

I'll second the popsicle stick fix question. What is that? Pics would be great.

 

I'll try and post pix tonight but basically a Polytech connector lock pin is a little bit shorter than a USGI or an M1A equivalent. In a USGI stock the pin will walk out far enough that the op rod spring guide can pop out. This will allow the op rod guide to push back into the magazine via its spring pressure. No real harm other than locking up the mechanism.

To fix that from happening you simply put a little more wood (or any other thin spacer but a popsicle stick is easiest) in the critical place to keep the connector lock from walking out. Cut a popsicle stick to the right size, glue it into the stock to hold the connector lock in place, and if you want stain or color it. I used some colored Varathane furniture repair markers.

 

You can see the small sliver of popsicle stick filling the small gap in the stock. I didn't realize how small it needed to be due to the part of the connector arm that sits inside the stock. I had to trim it back even smaller than I first tried with.

 

Wow, that looks beautiful!

 

Thanks! Your SEK was a great little package. Good instructions too!

 

Glad to hear

 

Nice.
But a word of warning.
These rifles are never finished.

 

Nice job, looks great!

Very nice. I have one side stamped Poly left and I am trying to decide what to laser engrave on the blank heel. Must have 50 ideas written down.

 

51. Don’t call me Poly

 

It looks great. I may go with the fake selector parts and a USGI stock on my Polytech. My original stock has transferred dark matter to the receiver legs.
