I have been working on this project on and off. I originally traded an old Knight BK-92 for this rifle a few years back in an attempt to start another project. This rifle already a sporter type barrel that still is currently on it along with a cracked sporterized stock for or I would have loved to put it back to its original form. The stock went by the wayside and I ordered a Boyds VIP target varminter stock for $87 that I just completed. I installed a Timney Featherweight trigger I found on clearance for $29! Along with a Red field one piece base for $10. I sent it out to have drilled and tapped and then had to go back and forth schimming the rear base for proper alignment. I was going to pillar bed it but chose to just accraglass it for bedding. I bought a bent bolt for it from Numerics, paying around $44, and ended up filing it down for a modern look. The bolt throw is still high enough that I had to go with super high Leupold rings for clearance. I took it out and sighted it in the other day and I can tell you its one heck of a fun plinker! I will eventually get a 50mm belled optic on it so the scope doesn't look so high up. I have to install sling swivel studs on it yet so I can install an extra Harris Bi pod I have laying around.
I am getting close and still need to work out one bug. The bolt closes hard on contact some times more than others. I was going to cut down the Timney speed lock spring I installed but I figured that would defeat the purpose of trying to take care of any hang time. Would polishing the bolt help? If it wouldnt be that great of a change I would prefer the black look. Any suggestions on a smoother action?
