hangunnr Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 With the addition of a couple sets of Leupold QD rings and a QD base I'll have all the parts together for one of my project guns. This gun is gonna be a Remmy XP100R / Model 7 switch stock. I plan on having the heavy .308 barrel cut down to 18" and then fitting it to both the McMillan handgun stock and the Accurate Innovations rifle stock. I'll have a long eye relief scope sighted for use as a handgun and a rifle scope sighted for use as a long gun. The use of the leupold QD mount system should make this a piece of cake to accomplish. I would like to have the barrel chambered for 300WSM but that would require having the bolt modified and that dosen't look like it's in the budget at this time. I think I'll just leave it a 308Win for the time being. This should be a fun gun to play with. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Re: \"06 project gun..... Sweet setup. I have the same thoughts when I had my 338/284 built. I went with a 16" barrel so I can slap it in a Model 7 stock and I have an instant hard hitting carbine. How do you like the AI stock? They do look pretty nice.

hangunnr Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: \"06 project gun..... [ QUOTE ] How do you like the AI stock? They do look pretty nice. [/ QUOTE ] I like their stocks. It will require a little bedding compound to make it a perfect fit. They come with the full length bedding block and pillars installed. I got this one off eBay straight from AI for less than half of retail. There is a slight imperfection in the barrel channel that's gonna disappear when it gets opened up for the fat barrel. The checkering is laser cut which results in flat top diamonds. I will likely have this gone over by hand to sharpen them up. All in all they are a very nice stock.
