imbel/imbel carbine....

**embatp** · June 03, 2010, 16:28

moses/cmp build...

century/imbel "made in canada" receiver on imbel parts kit...
18 inch bipod cut barrel...
dsa rail...

us parts
piston
mag follower/floorplate
charging handle
h/t/s

gunkote black...

not sure if i like the bipod as it makes it really "nose heavy"....

My personal favorite config, although I'd ditch the bipod.

One of my carbines uses a moses "Hurricane" FH, which is lighter than the combo device and an alloy lower. Really ices the cake of the already nice handling of those acrbines !

I have an L1A1 folding cocking handle on it and that's the part I'm still not sure I like ---- it's always something !!!

Nice rifle

yeah...i have been thinking about a hurricane fh....this actually came off an inch kit so i could go back with the folding ch but i like the knob type better....thinking about putting a para type rear sight on it as well....also may get rid of the rail for matches....should lighten up pretty good....

Both rifles look great. Just curious, but why the folder on the full length upper and the para upper on the full stock lower ?
