I've been collecting parts as well - I have a bead on a set of AR125 footpeg hangers thanks to one of this forum's UK blokes, GPZ switchgear is on the way, and I've already got the drum mag. Next step is my Matsucorp MG42. I've got some extra cash headed my way at the end of this month which is perfect timing.

: Hopefully the rest of Matsuo's resin conversion pieces (i.e. the parts that have to be hand-made) will be ready soon. ...Got my fingers crossed for Jesse to have time to finish his headset and vest kits before DragonCon, too, lol.
I'm really looking forward to putting this thing together. Question, though. I've heard folks mention aluminum rods a couple times, what is the purpose of this and can you give any tips on when/how to install one when I get to that point?
