Spiris Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 That's a wonderful looking rifle, and I especially like the red laminate. Let us know how it shoots. Spiris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmsniper Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks, yep heavy mount, I have recently changed it out no need for such a mount on this lightweight rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustvyper Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 haha FM - you love some nutty colors - have you thought about duracoating in one of their bloomberg specials? The co-op is still going - email mike. I'll be needing your 6.5x55 set pretty soon myself for my 96 project. Just curious - why no FN style shroud when you have the boyd's side safety on there?

ken98k Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I like it! Question though, how do you prevent parkerizing the bore? Plugs? Any problems with hot plug blowing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojelio Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Is that a spent primer inletted in front of your safety lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustvyper Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I like it! Question though, how do you prevent parkerizing the bore? Plugs? Any problems with hot plug blowing out? I've always used the rubber plugs they sell at lowes or HD - they work fine. I'll tap em in with a rubber mallet & usually have to take them out with a cork remover, but never had a leak. Obviously it's a one time use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
