If the recoil pad is screwed on, there should be two tiny slits for the phillips screwdriver to enter the pad. I believe that the HS Precision stock is hollow, not foam filled like a McMillan. Even if it is glued, you should be able to remove it, glue some wood into the cavity, and screw the pad back on.

Tightloop,
That's the holster I'm referring to. I met Tom in 1980. He said he came up with that design because of a match that had you starting behind the steering wheel of a car. That holster was easier for him to draw from than the crossdraws at the time. He said Jeff Cooper hated it! I think he used it for a couple more years, then the rule stipulating that the holster must be on the waist came out.

The photo of Tom Campbell isn't old enough to show "Tom'sTummy Holster" Although, that looks like Supergun 1

Try O.K. Weber. They have them listed at $59.00 for a box of 500

Lightening the slide will change the balance some, the recoil impulse some...but most importantly it will look cool. I built my 40 on an SV frame, standard style, lightened the slide with 12 slots, flatop'd it, and serrated the top. I like the quicker feel than the long heavy frame, heavy slide of an STI that a friend loaned me for a while. Both guns have bull barrels. A bull barrel will change the recoil impulse too. You don't really need to shoot the gun for a year before chroming, it WILL take a bit of shooting before the thing will cycle completely....maybe a 100 roundes before a full mag will run. After it's chromed, resist the temptation to put lapping compound in it, just oil it well, and cycle the slide till all tightness is gone. You want the movement smooth, before you even final assemble it.

I finish ream pistol chambers by hand, and measure with a depth micrometer. I've never seen any chambering reamers that don't have a pilot, or provision for a floating pilot. Some will have a solid pilot, and the ones with floating pilots always come with a pilot mounted.

Lee,
My wife has the Browing Gold Ladies Sporting, she love it. She just got it, and doesn't shoot IPSC anymore, so, it's for Sporting Clays. Right out of the box it's good with regular target loads. The 1 oz light loads wouldn't hold the bolt back. However, those were the first rounds fired through the new gun. The only thought on that model, is that the barrel is ported. If you want to shoot in open class it's not a problem.

Another vote for the Wilson mags. I've been using them for years. As in before 38 Super.

As you found out, the throat that Remington has for the 308 is Long! I think it's for a 220 grain round nose. I don't think the mag box has much room to play with, without cutting the reciever itself. I tried the 155's in mine a long time ago, and if I seated them out enough to be close to the rifling, there was nothing in the case. 168 Sierra's shot well at mag length, with 4895, just about 9/16's of an inch. Truly the best solution to Remington's long throat is a new barrel. Hard to justify when the things shoot well with the stock tube.

Stinger,
This may be a silly question. Are you using Never Sieze on the threads when installing the handguard?

Anyone got a direct link to "kart" barrels. I'm not finding any??? mike g
Kart has no website. They're in Shalotte, North Carolina. I might have spelled the name of the town incorrectly

My 10-22's have been around for a while, over 10 years. They have stock recievers, reworked factory triggers, threaded barrels with Bentz chambers. The barrels are bedded into the forearms of fiberglass stocks. One stock is a McMillan Anshutz Silhouette, the other is an MPI Thumbhole. One barrel is a Wilson Arms, match, the other is a K&P cut rifled barrel. Both barrels are 1 inch in diameter. I prefered the threaded and bedded barrels since the barrels weigh several pounds, and it didn't make much sense to try and hang it off a reciever that weighed a few ounces. The bolts have the headspace adjusted to .042 and are lightened to function better with match ammo. Both shoot under an inch at 100 yards.
There is so much stuff available now, you can pick up the Brownell's catalog and bolt together a rifle in a short time, and it will shoot well too.
Unless you were going to shoot small game and pests with it most of the time, I'd stay with the 22 LR. More ammo choices and the ammo is more reasonable in cost.
Either way, you get a rifle that's a blast to shoot. Make sure you get reliable mags if you use anything other than the Rugers.

New barrel, obviously, ejector. Extractor might need readjustment, the slides are the same.

The Clark is easier, you don't need an extra long cutter to cut the rear face. It's all done in one setup.

As long as it's a BDL style stock.
