Hey guys, everyone has seen Rebecca's promo poster, well got me a set but I'm still ugly. Finally got to shoot it today. Didn't see or notice any difference, hammered a couple 5 spots then ran a Hit's Count clean. The stock is a bit short for my 6'4" frame, had a slip-on butt over the plastic stock and looks like I'll need to do that with this one as well. The cheek pads are great and the big plus....The wood is touchable after laying in the sun! That's a big deal in this neck of the woods.

The fit and finish is outstanding. I had no trouble pulling the ugly stuff off and installing the new stock, grip, and forearm. PM "Castle Mountain" if you want a set...O.L.

That wood stock is pretty, but how much does it weigh?
The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

It was my intent to weigh the parts but when it got here, I was chomping at the bit to get it together and forgot to do so. General impression, little to no difference, maybe slightly heavier. Unless it's a gun you are going to hoof for miles, mass in a rifle is a good thing. That coolness when shooting it in the summer sun, it'll be warmer in the winter as well. I would not put these on a gun that will be used for high volume CQB, they have no heat sheild in the forearm, but neither do most of our wood stocked battle rifles and they don't as much air space or ventilation. I've run 30rnd mags pretty quick where the barrel is so hot you can't touch it with no ill effects. It's been fun taking it to the range, the first response is what the heck is that? It changes the look so much....O.L.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

Just had to admire the stock,  If you want to extend the length of pull with out covering up that nice wood......  Try a DPMS stock extender, Midway item 613-589 $31.49 :  Works good with the regular stock and adds 1" to the LOP.  While your at it,  Try the Rite-pull grip adapter item 146-845 $25.99 .  Places your hand back about 3/4",  gives a better feel on the trigger/ grip position.  Makes  these plastic guns fit us manly men a little better.
   I'm just waiting to see what you tape on that nice stock to get a good cheek weld. 
       Don't tell me you haven't been thinking on it.  I can see this morphing into a flattop with a low profile gas block.  Ahhh forget it, you wanted another rifle anyway.   
     see ya in a couple of weeks,

I believe for this forearm to work you need the standard front sight, it can be modified (cut down) to act as just a gas block that holds the forearm

Don't tempt me Milt! LOL Thanks for the links. Already slapped a Limb Saver on her. I can't remember ever owning a rifle that fits me as well as this one does now, maybe I'll stop shooting so many 49's on stage one! LOL (Inside joke between me and milt)....O.L.
