McMillan A5

[Orka Akinse]

A couple of Q's to the smithy's and stock builders out there:

 

1. Is there enough "meat" on the end of a Mcmillan A5 stock to take the AI bipod spigot?

 

2. The "Saddle" adjustable cheek piece is a PITA can a new section be cut into it? Or is there a way of fixing the screws so they don't loosen every second shot.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I,ve never fitted a spigot personally into an A5. Looking at the one sat here in front of me, i would say not , but it does have a 1" thick barrel on it.

 

Have you tried an O ring over the thread to lock the screws with ?

Thanks Dave, if you recall, when you worked your magic by coating my action and barrel my barrel has a one inch profile too and so I thought it'd be tight.

 

I'm not sure I picture what your saying buddy re the O rings.
