Two orphans now that West Germany's Sig is bottom up.

I need to start an orphanage
Got this before our socialism trial, so been untouched for a few months.
1945 No5 Mk1 ROF LE Jungle Carbine.
I had to use some raw umber oil paint on the stock to get it the same colour as the rest, and one area that needs a touch just below the bolt, will do that one day... but otherwise came out ok.

I think it is also much nicer in the hand than the standard hand guard. 55six sells them though I think they are out of stock at the moment.
I also got rid of my iron sights as I run a VX6 1 -6 and at 1 power it is a both eyes open shooter. Ditching the irons allowed me to put the scope on with Steiner lightweight low rings and subsequently I think I will get away without using a cheek riser - you may find the same with your 1-8 Viper @Solo
I just need to get a QD drilled into the stock so I can use my magpul sling side on and I think I will get one of those Wild West Trigger Happy kits from Brownells now that the ITAR limit has been raised - they lower the trigger pull to a crisp 2.5lbs apparently.

The handguard is probably also on my list, though a fairly low priority. $400 is a lot of money for a bipod mount when I could just move my sling swivel stud back an inch or two. I think I also (slightly, though looking at yours, that may be changing) prefer the aesthetics of the stock handguard.
@Solo totally get where you are coming from, at the end of the day lever guns are generally very traditional looking firearms and the Mlok hand guard is a very polarising look.
I think it looks fine with the Dark series rifles as they have that modern look to them already, I am not a fan of the Mlok hand guards on the more traditional looking rifles. I'll be getting a 1895SBL 45/70 as well eventually and I don't think I will be putting one of these hand guards on them as I think it will ruin the look of it.

Putting a scope on a lever ruins the look anyway, might aswell go the whole hog
