The SIII is being built...

It came via UPS ground in a Brown bubble package envelope. It says 2lbs on the label so I assume that was the total package weight..... Not bad for a .21 extension kit :)

Here it is.... I took Pics as I pieced it together. I kinda followed the directions but it was easier for me just to start with the bottom plate and bolt everything else on from there.
So you wanna see it Ehh?
