Shakari had one made in South Africa by Sabi I think. | |||

That is Shakari's rifle above. Sabi did NOT build the magazine though. A gentleman from Wales did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Form follows function...........to a point, and I'm not entirely convinced it's a functional improvement. | |||

Trust me, it's a VERY functional improvement. I don't need that extra round very often at all..... in fact, hardly ever but when I do need it, I need it very badly indeed! | |||

Yep...that rifle is a working rifle. I saw it in person in Uganda a few weeks ago and the workmanship is impeccable. I happen to think it looks very taseful too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

She looks like a piece of shit but she works hard, carries well and she shoots straight..... what more could a man ask for?  | |||
|
| one of us |
It does look like a popular conversion......... | |||
|
| one of us |
I think it is a cool looking, and great for the function piece. what I can't believe is that guys are giving shakari shit over the look, the tape, whether it's necessary. IT'S LEFT HANDED, it can't get any uglier! Red | |||

lots of rifle snobbs on AR thats why they give him shit  | |||

The tape was a temporary measure and underneath it is a small piece of neoprene on the inside of the front of the trigger guard and another on the outside of the back of the trigger guard. (if that makes sense) The reason for these is that when I shoot quickly, I hold the rifle in a fairly relaxed manner/slightly loosely. The neoprene stops the rifle biting my fingers so I can get fast subsequent shots off if I need to..... and it works. People have sometimes commented on the rifle sounding like it was almost belt fed.  Maybe not beautiful but very effective and that's my first priority. Hooker is dead right though, there are a lot of rifle snobs in the world. As much as I like good rilfes the truth is a US$500 dollar rifle will shoot straighter than most people who are shooting it. | |||

not real hard to do the rigger way. if you can get multiple sets of bottom metal cut out the center sections on the extras bevel both edges top to bottom mig them together as a stack use the military latch plus a screw on the last one and fill everything in with heliarc or mig finish grind file inside and out . bobs your uncle. hard to describe but if you dont have the machine to make a one piece box extension it will fly VERITAS ODIUM PARIT | |||
