Also maybe some simpler and better methods of manuf. some parts come up along that 500 way.

But for next project I would like to see stg45m, especially after the enthusiastic review of its repro by ian, and its superior ergonomics compared to later g3 or cetme series.

I hope to see a video soon and eventually become an owner to one these rifle myself. Congratulation on the project as well!!!
