Ronin Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Is that Howa based? Make sure whoever has made the gun has left enough clearance bettween the barrel and inlet, one of the guys in the states had a problem with clearance on a laminate stock due to the flex on recoil and barrel touching the stock..... Easy fix, but it affected accuracy till resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soggy biscuit Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 also what bottom metal is that ? Did you convert to single shot cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi The bottom metal is just a trigger guard from Joe west it came with the stock. I bedded it and fitting a single shot sledge at the same time. The barrel was fitted by Paddy Dane on here and has now done over 6000 rounds and still gets in the top 4 or 5 in the Dorset riflemen's FRT comp. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisme Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 No I bought a couple from the states then found Brian fox does some that will do. None of them fit perfect you need to bed them onto the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
