Nice!!! You'll have to tell me how it works out after you start reloading! I just scored some Federal SMK 168's for 24.99 a box local!!!!! All I could afford was 4 boxes because I just picked up 5 boxes of 150gr softpoint crap ammo for hunting/ stockpile because they were 13.99 a box.... so now Im up to about 220rds of 308 ready to go down the tube!
I have about 100 through mine, You?
I got the stock on GB labled "gunsmiths special" it had been butchered up to try and fit a Badger bottom metal.
I was expecting to have to do alot of work, when I got it, It only needed about 1/8" filled in about 1/2" deep just around the bottom metal, so the stock remington still fit, the top half was Intact. I used some Loctite brand A/B putty... I threw it away after i used it on the stock!! it just crumbled apart... The Aluminum pillers are intact they did not go that deep. I am just going to cut a notch all the way around, and then bed my BM with some AcraGlass Gel. And Even if I end up putting 5 Hrs in to the stock I still got a Great deal!!!! He had it for $50 I emailed him with a $75 offer and BAM!!!
Now Im just looking for a Used but not beatup Pelican 1720!!! Hopefully in tan!!!!
