I also have a new flash surpressor with a bayonet lug and an M6 bayonet i just got yesterday. My intention is to bring the rifle up to its classic configuration. After that my next project will be to get a detatchable scope mount that holds zero, and a scope for deer and elk hunting. As so far im just enjoying using the Iron sights.
Very nice rifle indeed.
With scope and right ammo it can be very good sniper rifle.
Sink them all...uhh kill"em all.
