    I've made up my mind

    I've been kicking it back and forth since i bought it and I finally decided to turn my 6 digit into a Mini-G.

    Tim, when I get a new stock to send with it and I get my milled stock ferrule swapped out with Dupage, I'm sending it to you. Work your magic.

    I figure this is a good way to spend my Ohio veteran's bonus.

    Good for you Redheep! I sent Tim a 6 digit and have been in love with it ever since.

    I'm excited. It's got a SA 52 barrel on it that I think I'll just have Tim shorten. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of mixed up parts.

    I want it to look like a WW2 mini, so I put the milled trigger guard, stock ferrule and lockbar sight on it. Just enough to make you wonder.

    It needs a new stock, so I think I'll have Tim cartouche one for the time period and then I'll finish it up.

    I have a question about the order form.

    I want the Mini-G conversion -$525
    Park the rifle - $50
    Smith MB - $150
    And a trigger job - $45

    Are the precut barrels new manufacture or old take offs? For example, if I was looking for a old barrel like a 40's date to go with the 6 digit serial number, would you have one?
    Otherwise, I'll just take what you put on there. Originality is out the door at this point.

    Is that all I need to check on the order form?

    Tim,

    It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I put my rifle in the mail today headed your way. Looking forward to it.

    Barrels are take offs. I don't have Smith brakes, I use E brakes. I'll never use another Smith product again. I doubt I'd have a 40's barrel to use. I take your barrel, put it in a pile with the rest, then do barrels in batches for other Mini-G's. That why your barrel has to be in decent condition. Must be a 5 or less at the throat with very very little frosting or pitting, the kind I'd need a magnifying glass to find.

    The posts above are from 2 years ago. My order form is correct for what I'd like to have done now.

    You should take the Smith brakes off your website if you don't intend on using them. I included the $150 for a muzzle brake, if that's not the right amount please let me know. I also included the $25 to use my barrel, if that's not feasible because of the condition I understand.

    Is there a problem with the quality of them [Smith brakes I mean]?
