I have one from each maker. All in very good condition. While not my favorite US rifle, it's just not comfortable to me, it is a very accurate and rugged rifle. I overheard one blowhard at a gun show saying they were inaccurate because they still used barrels bored and rifled for the .303 British and it's .311 bullet!
What are you calling astringent that you used to remove the coating on the wood stock? Acetone? Or something else? I need to do the same thing to my stock. Thank you!
Great video. Can’t wait for the 03 Springfield one. I have one and I can’t get the trigger assembly to come outve the stock or separated from the receiver.
Someone may have tried to glass bed it, and didn't use a release agent. Remove the bolt. Undo the two screws. Pry gently down on the trigger guard. It may require a lot of prying if it's truly seized on. Inspect in-between the stock and the barrel. Try light heat if needed.
