Mk 13 Mod 0 stock

This one is getting closer, still need a few things: old Leupold Ultra rings and the action screws, but hope to send it off to Red Bull soon, for Chris to finish later this year or early 2026.

I presume this is a Mod 0 Build. Don't you already have the action screws or does this build require a different set of screws?

Crane used heavy duty Allen head bolts instead of regular Remington action screws, including the threaded recoil lug which also used a bolt. I need those three parts, as my stock was missing them, but it’s no biggie once cut to proper length.

Man that Allen head for the BDL bottom metal is ugly. I might just use factory instead.
Well, in addition to Navy SEAL rifles made at Crane since the 1980s-90s, make sure you never look at the bottom metal bolts on USMC sniper rifles made at Quantico, VA since about 1978 - all those “ugly” action bolts might offend…

…maybe this old 1981 article on the above USMC sniper rifles explains why this has been done for 40 plus years on precision military sniper rifles:

….but if you like the hunting rifle look with the factory recessed bolts, that’s your choice. I’m choosing the military bolts to go with my pricey military stocks. To each their own of course…
