Jeff,

Welcome. Nice set up. If you notice any inconsistency with the lugs locking the likely culprit is the channel for the bolt handle needing to be shaved down about a 1/16" to 1/8".

I had a similar issue with the same model stock as have a few others and it fixes it right up.

Welcome to the Hide. Come on in and join the many and varied conversations.

Most of us older folk really appreciate it if you fill out your profile if you haven’t already.

Once again, nice to have you here.

Welcome......

I'm guessing that you're out at Luke (but hell, I could be waaaaaay wrong!) If so, there are a bunch of guys that shoot down at Phoenix rod and gun club.

It's a bit far if you're down at Davis Montham, but there are a whole heap of Az shooters here on the hide, some even in Two Sun

Shoot me a PM and I'll try to hook you up.

Re: Newbie here

Welcome and good job with the implement choices. Workmanlike, quality, and expense where expense is justified. I think you'll fit in well around here.
