I had the opportunity to examine it while at FN a couple of years ago. They would not let me take any pictures of it, but it is an interesting rifle. On my list of things to make someday. First is to finish the VG1-5

you’ll probably like this, the lower and trigger guard are neat. some kind of flat spring tensioning the pins?

I’m working on getting my tools setup again after a couple of years in abeyance due to sailing schedules and such (I’m in the Navy).

So, I have a manual mill (Southbend 10K) an old RF-31 Manual mill, and a few other bits around….what do you consider the most essential tools to have in your shop?
