ya, its a birch stock that i refinished. i got 2 with new birch and refinished one and left the other one. i saw one on milsurps forum that a guy refinished really light colored and liked it and figured since it was new birch i would try it. i figured if i didnt like it i would buy a boyds walnut but i liked the way it turned out so im leaving it. (actually i hit it with some 0000 steel wool and it got a little darker since the pics)Flyin B - Is that first rifle in a new birch stock? Did you refinish it or oil it, or is that the way it came?
ya i was pretty happy with it. i epoxy bedded the action on that particular one, and sanded the ends of the forward handgaurd (mine was also a bit tight), and also did "the national match trigger adjustment" that is described (very well with excellent pictures) starting on page 137, appendix-b, in "the m1 garand complete assembly guide" by walt kuleck, and clint mckee (founder of fulton armory)....... it worked out pretty good.Wow, that was a good one!
the round in the pic is not a v-max. its a nosler i just put there for scale. it might be a shade over 2" but its pretty close. this was with 47g of h4895 with l.c. once fired and cci large rifle primers.
