3-12ish please. Large Bell.

Word on Optics Talk is the 1-4 throw lever is very close but not proper. No word on 1-6 specific one yet.

Swfa 1-4 or 6 on upcoming RS regulate AKS mount. That's going on my 5.45 anyway.

Re: Fat barreled Mosin Nagant build. What actions are flat bottomed like the Nagant? Heard the Tikka's stocks are a good fit with minimal work for the Nagant. Any others?
