[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1183200, member: 54178"] Black Squirrel, Nice photos. Interesting that you went to the trouble of machining threads on the bolt handle for a new knob.Nice touch. Also interesting that you got good accuracy even with an eroded throat. I'll likely have photos in a few months when everything is assembled. Probably first photos will be W/O the scope. The big expense, naturally, is the SWFA scope. The Boyd's stock comes first because I can't stand the wimpy forearm on the Ruger stock. Then a scope and last, the trigger. I've got the Ruger trigger backed off to the max and sealed with Locktite. Even so the trigger is merely "OK". Still it's better by a lot than factory triggers of 15 years ago. It would be nice if there was some way to inlet a cavity and metal catch in the bottom of the butt to place a spare magazine there but the butt is likely too narrow for a nice fit. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
