With another one, I glassed the rear of the action and forearm tip. After that dried, I put bedding compound under the lock up wedge, pulled it down into the glass with the action screw. That puts downward pressure on the barrel/receiver junction, which is fastened at the bottom. It also makes the barreled action pretty rigid.

Dirt,
Is that a factory deluxe sporter stock? Looks great!!!

It is an early walnut deluxe that I refinished, recut the checkering.

Too bad they don't make them like that any more.

The earlier picture shows a Jard fire control assembly, tuned to perfection.

This one is the earlier aluminum Ruger assembly. I did a trigger job using Clark and Volquartsen parts, installed a trigger stop. It's not quite as good as the Jard, but pretty close.

The suppressor with subsonic Remington ammo is a hoot to shoot. The most noise is bullet stike and bolt closing. The synthetic bolt stop is quieter than the factory steel part.
