Metrics ordered, need inch now

Azure · December 26, 2006, 18:35

i stopped by my local gun shop and ordered 2 DSA metric type 1s today (now i get to wait....hope its not too long) i need a couple inch ones now. DSA makes inch ones, i have heard Imbel did also? Are they both high quality, like the metrics, or should i lean (or avoid) one or the other? Thanks, Azure

Both are fine, good luck finding an Imbel inch cut though. Now with th Imbel they are only "inch" as they have been designed to accept the inch magazines, top cover and charging handle. Cosmetically they are NOT "inch pattern".

TY Andy, thats kinda what i thought. I do want my rifles to look correct, i am building more for "historical accuracy" than in a hurry to get them done (in a hurry to get my parts together, but once i have em it can take 10 years to complete them for all i care) ill phone DSA and see if they have any available - i saw a post in their forum that they still had a few so maybe they wont be as painful a wait as the metrics
