[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 220696, member: 7449"] [b]The mystery holes. . .[/b] Guys, thanks first off. That's three years of fiddling to get it right. As for the holes. this is my international Palma Gun in 308 used for 800, 900, and 1000 yard competitive shooting. (Iron Sights) Two years of work building this silly thing. Just fiddled with it when I was in the mood to work on a money pit. One of my pet peeves on a target gun is the accessory rail. I HATE sliding a hand stop and having it hang up on the counter sink that the mounting screw registers in. So, on this gun I went the other way. I built my own rail from scratch, engraved a scale on it so I could remove the hand stop without worry of losing my spot, and then decided to machine the little aluminum sockets for the screws to register in so that the heads wouldn't eat the wood up. They are nothing more than screw holes for the accessory rail. Its just held in from the opposite side. The other reason is I knew it would generate lots of comments from anyone who saw it and lets face it. For a guy building guns in a sea of other guys building guns, it pays to have a gimmick sometimes. (so long as its harmless and doesn't BS people) I will admit to teasing the gullible sometimes by telling them its an experimental harmonics flux magnetometer device that makes the rifle do magical things like generate a magnetic field that dampens barrel harmonics with no physical contact. Amazing what people will believe. . . [/QUOTE]
