All the parts are in and in the process of being installed. Should have a range report on the new AR-15 6.5 Grendel DMR by next week.
Been several months, one piece at a time, but i've finally got everything. Parts list Upper is at the gunsmith getting properly torqued right now. I'd have done it myself, but do not have access to the tools anymore and for the cost of the tools, i could have paid the gunsmith three times what he's charging me to install/torque/test fire. Off to the range (backyard ) over New Year's hopefully for the barrel break-in! Once the barrel is broken in, I'll have my nice iron sights and will be able to start doing some serious shooting. Going to work and save up for a proper rifle scope later on to take the rifle out hunting/long distance.

Hope it's ok to ask this here, but a buddy of mine is interested in some WW2 vintage shooting and I'm looking for recommendations on a carbine-sized rifle from that era that I could join in with one day. I'm not a big guy at all (think of typical ARVN soldier size) so compactness and reasonably light recoil are a priority for me. A big bonus would be if it could also mount a scope fairly easily. Also it would be preferable (to avoid any potential legal hurdles where I live) if it had a mag capacity of less than 10 rounds.
Any of the firearms experts here have suggestions for something that fits this and is reasonably available on the market these days? |

They had come up on my radar, wasn't aware they made 10 round mags for them though. Thanks for the suggestion. Given it's a semi-auto I would have to first check that it's not a restricted weapon where I live. Bolt-actions are far safer option where I am.

There are reproduction M1s so you don't have to shoot an antique. https://www.classicfirearms.com/auto...r-rifle-aom140

By the way I just checked and it looks like M1 carbines (as semi-auto centrefires) are on the restricted list where I live, which means I could hypothetically get one but it would require extra paperwork and cost. Recon I'll have to pass on those, thanks though for the suggestion. Hope I didn't waste your time guys, I should have mentioned bolt-actions were a much safer bet for me... |

As far as I know Garands are restricted for the same reason as the M1 Carbines. Besides they're not really the short-rifle/carbine types I was looking for. Thanks though. Long story :P Living in an EU country at the moment. |

Search for a Spanish FR8 from very close to the first half of the century, that's what I'd get under your parameters.
