Just got my Izzy HB kit from the postal guy. I got it on ebay for $551 with an extra set of new foregrips.

If I could figure out how to move pictures from my camera file, I'd show it off.

Pics man, pics!

Congrats iolaus. Sounds like you will be havinga fun holiday season.

iolaus · December 16, 2003, 20:26

Ok, I emailed it to myself from the camera program. I think I know how to do it from there.

(moderator note: pic brightness increased)

iolaus · December 16, 2003, 20:30

Sorry about the resolution I had the camera on the lowest setting. I'll get better pictures tomorrow.

SCHWEEEEEEEEETTT!!!!!!!

So it was you I was bidding against, good thing I got distracted or I would have bid it up another $100.

Oh well, I guess I still have my money. At least I have the TMOAGB to look forward to.

Was a flash hider included with your kit?

fry · December 16, 2003, 20:56

NICE!

Yes, It's in the picture just above the front sight.

That is a heck of a price for a good Izzie kit.. you lucky dog!

P806 · December 16, 2003, 22:18

Iolaus, man, you got lucky on that deal! Good luck on that build.

You'd have gotten it.

I had to leave the house an hour before bidding ended. I had a low max bid 'cause I was nervous about buying unseen from an "unknown".

ARS has the fake flash hider for about $30, and it's gorgeous.

The Tapco bolt carrier is a drop in replacement. Everything else, use US metric parts, and you're all set.

Mine looked like yours. I replaced the furniture and it looks BN. Get some furniture now, as it's quite reasonably priced and available.

I still haven't decided if I'm going to restore it to original look or customize it. Nothing radical you understand, just kinda' make it mine.I like the basic look (bi-pod, flash hider, etc). I was actually wondering if anyone makes izzy furniture in exotic woods.
